I believe if you move the PST file, opening Outlook will warn it's
missing and you can simply point to it...
Makes it a bit easyer...

You will want to follow the first link, this way you can locate the .pst
and simply copy it to the server, next add a personal folders protocol
and point it to the server, and remove the previous entry for personal
folders.  Next if you continue down the first document, you'll find the
necessary files to copy over the settings including tool bar placement.
