two contacts address books listed in my address book

I reinstalled our SBS2003 server.  After joining the new domain, my outlook
clients now have 2 contact lists listed.  Is there a way I can remove the old
one form the tools/address book/tools/options list for Show this address list
first.  Also, what did I do incorrectly which has left me with this duplicate
entry.

Thanks

I am not sure I understand the question - when you go to

I am not sure I understand the question - when you go to tools/address
book/tools/options, what is stopping you from removing the duplicate address
book?  You probably need to change the "show this address list first" to
something other than the one you want to remove.

If you cannot remove it from there, try Tools -> E-mail Accounts -> View or
change Address Books.  If you are showing two address books, you can delete
one.  If you are showing one, click Change to remove individual folders from
that address book.

I wonder if this duplicate was caused by reusing the same OST from the
original domain (but I do not think the security would allow that) or
something else left over from the old mail profile.

In Tools...Addressbook you may have to pick from a list that looks like
this:

Outlook Address Book
Contacts
Contacts
Contacts
Contacts

Where only the last one has any contacts.

The way to remove this condition is to go to Tools...Email
Accounts...Directories...View or Change. Select your Outlook Address Book
service, then change. On the next page, delete the contacts folders without
data. Close and restart Outlook and they should be gone.

If there are actually two "Contacts" folder in Outlook, but I cannot see a
duplicate folder name existing, but if this is the case, you can reset the
default folders with an Outlook switch. This will not remove additionally
created folders. It just cleans up the default folders.
outlook /resetfolders

As for how did it happen? If you mean in the tools/address book, that could
be because of what Dave mentioned regarding the OST, or simply the Outlook
profile still kept the original one, but I cannot see that if you
disjoined/rejoined the machine to the domain and a new Windows profile,
resulting in a new Outlook profile being created.

Did you copy the old Windows profile to the new user's profile?

Thanks Ace, that did the trick.As for how it happened ...

Thanks Ace, that did the trick.

As for how it happened ... We used a local user account (username - This
Computer) disjoined from the previous server installation and joined the
reinstalled server.  I realize that in the future I need to not only disjoin
and rejoin, but I also need to create a new account to avoid these kind of
redundancy problems left over in the account.  I must admit it is s much
easier to just use the same account so that the users do not have everything
changed after a server upgrade/reinstallation.

Is there a tool that allows me to rebuild a profile so that I do not have to
recreate a users desktop / favorites etc or is that just a part of the
upgrade work that cannot be avoided?

Glad to hear that did the trick.

Glad to hear that did the trick. Here are my notes on profile migration:

User profiles - Migrate Profiles Migration


There are a few ways.

1. Use the default, built-n profile copy within windows.
Logon on as an Administrator.
Right click My Computer, select properties, click on the Advanced tab, then
click on the profiles button.

Copy the desired profile to the user account you want them to use it. Check
the box for the new user to be able to use the Profile. If that does not
work, you can always set permissions on the profile once it is copied over.
Provide the new user account with Owner permissions.


2. Use the Registry to the profile change path.

Open regedit and Backup the registry first. Then navigate to:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList]
and search each entry for a prefix that starts with "S-1-5-18." You can use
the Find function for anything with S-1-5-18. This will list the new domain
users path, which will look like the following path (depending on domain
name):

ProfileImage %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\username.domain.net.

Change this path to the older workgroup path. You must set the permissions
on the workgroup profile, for the new domain user to be Owner.

Only make the change in the registry, and do not try to change the profile
pathname in Windows Explorer to match the registry entry.

If you are not sure which profile is which, one way to tell, is the profiles
are listed in order of creation date in the registry.

3. Use the User State Migration Tool.

This tool migrates user files and settings during deployments of Microsoft
Windows XP and Windows Vista™. USMT captures files and settings from the
source computer and then migrates them to a new Windows installation.

For a third party solution, take a look at the following link. The last I
checked,
the User Profile Wizard costs around USD $2.00 per workstation with a 25
workstation minimum.  The tool will allow you to preserve your profiles.
