Outlook 2007 SP1 - Security Warning

[Chris Vico]

Hi,

I hope I'm posting in the right sub-section.
I'm working on deploying Outlook 2007 (migration from Groupwise) and I'm
getting some troubles with the security settings.

I've got an application that sends mail using Outlook and I keep getting the
security warning.
I did update the AV (the older version was not recognized), I set all the
security options to "auto-approve" though the GPO (GPO Security is set to use
all GPO settings).
Even manually, I tried to set "programatic access" to "allow everything", I
still get the popup and I styill have to "allow for xx minutes"

As the program is used all day long by a big enough amount of users, I
really have to fix this.

Does anyone have any idea where I should look ?

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Brian,

I set the GPO to "not Warn & approve" and I still get the warning..
AV has been updated and is reported as "ok" in Outlook trust center
GPRESULT shows a GPO enforce.. don't know what can go wrong now..

Are you using Redemption when writing your application?

Hi Brian,

That's my biggest problem here, it's an application we bought, I don't have
access to the inside of the program. And it will apparently be easier to kick
Chuck Norris in the face (http://www.chucknorrisfacts.com/) than to get the
software changed.

that's why I'm trying any alternative I can find

The web page I cited already has solutions for you if you cannot affect the
application. Look at http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=52, as I
said. Look at the very bottom of the web page. See the section labeled
"Suppress security prompts". In particular, you might be interested on the
very first entry in that section.
