That way I knew which DAT file belonged to which profile. This changed the timestamp on the DAT file. To figure out which AutoComplete file belonged to which profile I modified the To cache by adding or removing an address. This is basically the new cache file for AutoComplete. The string of numbers is likely a SID of some form but where it is referenced (probably the registry) is beyond me.
#Nk2 file 2013 windows 7
On a Windows 7 box if you navigate to the RoamCache folder identified below:Ĭ:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\RoamCache What I found is that in some form autocomplete data does still exist in your local profile. (We were also making a new profile as they were also switching from On-Premise Exchange to Office365 at the same time.) So when I made the secondary mailbox the default/primary in the brand new profile the autocomplete data changed to a much older and undesirable copy. However, both mailboxes had completely separate autocomplete data attached to them and whichever was the default mailbox was the one that populated the autocomplete data in the current Outlook profile. They wanted to change which mailbox was their primary/default mailbox. The challenge this created for me was that I had a user that owned two Exchange mailboxes which were configured under one profile.
This was great in part as many people often forgot to transfer that NK2 file when they moved to a new computer, or, the autocomplete data was lost in the event of a catastrophic failure, such as a failure of the local hard drive. Outlook 2010 did away with the NK2 file completely and merged all the autocomplete data into the users Exchange Mailbox/PST file. Next, rename “Work Email.NK2” to “Personal Email.NK2”. When you log into your new profile all your auto-complete data was there. Then you could simply delete that NK2 file (I usually renamed it to Personal Email.OLD” – a force of habit). This would create a blank new NK2 file called “Personal Email.NK2″. You would create and log in with a new profile, let’s call it “Personal Email”. This made it easy to transfer that autocomplete data to a new profile. So if your Outlook profile was called “Work Email” the NK2 file was called “Work Email.NK2”. The NK2 file (or Nickname file) could be easily identified because it was the same name as your Outlook profile. Most of you may remember, that in Outlook 2007 and earlier, all autocomplete email addresses were saved in the *.NK2 file, or in even older versions of Outlook they were the *.NICK file.
