Which registry keys determine the Outlook Profile

Question

I need to write a VBScript code to check whether outlook is using MAPI profile or RPC over HTTP/S profile.

So can anybody let me know which registry key decides the same?

Please help.

Answer 1

This has changed in Outlook 2013:

• What's new for Outlook 2013 developers – Coexistence with previous Outlook versions

Profiles are stored under keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\<version>\Outlook\Profiles

Where <version> is one of the following:

• Office 97 – 7.0
• Office 98 – 8.0
• Office 2000 – 9.0
• Office XP – 10.0
• Office 2003 – 11.0
• Office 2007 – 12.0
• Office 2010 – 14.0 (sic!)
• Office 2013 – 15.0
• Office 2016 – 16.0

The above version info was copied from this answer.
