Hi all,

I'm using outlook 2011 to connect to an exchange server. I use a notebook and I'm working from different place. So I configured my /etc/hosts file for proper resolving of the exchange server name. My exchange hostname is cose0101. So when I change my environment, sometimes the exchange server is resolvable via DNS.
The outlook changes the hostname in the preferences of outlook. Then when I change my location the connection did not work anymore, because now the name is not resolvable via DNS or hosts anymore. So I have manual to reconfigure the setting.

So, my question is: How can I stop the automatic reconfiguration of my account setting?
