Outlook 2010 - Migrate Autocomplete contacts

 

Copy the .nk2 file from your old Outlook profile.

Tip You can copy the file to removable media, such as a USB key (Pen drive) or a CD (DVD), and then copy the file to the correct location on the other computer. Or you can attach the file to an e-mail message and send the message to yourself. On the new computer, open the attachment, and then save it to the correct location.
Note You must exit Outlook before starting the following procedure. The names will be included in AutoComplete when you restart Outlook.

1. On the Office 2010 where you want to migrate the AutoComplete feature too, Paste the NK2 file to drive:%user name%\%appdata%\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook\
2. If prompted about replacing the existing file, click “yes”.

3. Note that the .nk2 file must have the same name as your current Outlook 2010 profile. By default, the profile name is “Outlook.” To check the profile name, follow these steps:

4. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
5. Double-click Mail.
6. In the Mail Setup dialog box, click Show Profiles.
7. Click Start, and then click Run.
8. In the Open box, type outlook.exe /importnk2, and then click OK. This will import the .nk2 file into the Outlook 2010 profile.

 

You are done.
