Default Migrate profile - cached mode setting

Hi,

I'm trying to configure Outlook Cached Exchange mode for all users who will
get Office 2010 installed. Let me outline the process I'm running through...

Currently the majority of users use Outlook 2007 and cached exchange mode is
disabled.

We will be deploying Office 2010 to machines in stages and wish to enable
cached exchange mode for all users who then use Outlook 2010.

However, whilst we want to enable cached exchange mode be default, we can't
set it in a GPO as we still need to allow certian users to disable this
manually (such as those users who hot-desk). The OCT that has been created
for Office 2010 is set to use the existing Outlook profile and upgrade it to
2010. We're doing this becuase we don't want 2010 to create a new profile and
then lose all of the user's customisations and shared calendar links etc.

However what we'd like to do is enable a setting in the gpo (either a reg
key preference, logon script etc.) to ensure that cached exchange mode is
enabled the first time a user logs onto a 2010 machine. If the user decides
to change this setting then their choice shall not be overwritten by policy
of script at second logon. Ideally a reg key policy preference set to run
only once would be best.

Inside the OCT it is set to enable cached exchange mode for new and existing
profiles.
So when a user logs onto a 2010 machine who doesn't have an exisitng Outlook
profile in their roaming windows profile, cached mode is enabled and works as
expected.

However when a user who has an existing profile (2007) logs on to the 2010
machine it migrates their profile (creates a 'BACKUP of profilename'..
profile too) but doesn't enable cached mode.

I've tied both enabling and disabling the 'migrate user settings' checkbox
in the OCT but neither makes a difference. From reading the help it seems
that if this option is enabled, any setting in the users previous outlook
profile would overwrite the ones defined in the OCT for their new profile.
Unticking the option doesn't make any difference though.

Any help and pointers much appreciated.

Thanks,
Phil
