Third party app sending via outlook

[jay.stowell]

Hello,

I am deploying office system 2007 and need some help allowing a third
party application to send through outlook. I have tried the registry
setting for the security settings which worked for all the earlier
versions, but now we have 2007 and it prompts the user to allow or
deny the action. I have downloaded the admin templates for office
2007, but I have not been able to make it work (not prompt the user to
allow the email program to use outlook). I may be missing something
in the admin template. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What you may be missing is a fully functional anti-virus application. That's a requirement for external programs to avoid security prompts. Also, that prerequisite applies only to applications that are directly automating the Outlook programming model. If they're using another method to send, the security prompts will still be there. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/sec.htm

I have symantec antivirus on my clients (they are up to date). I will
look into how they are calling outlook from their application. Thanks
for the input.

Symantec products are known for their poor interaction with Outlook.

Sue and Brian,

The issue was not in my antivirus. Currently I have it working in a
test environment using the following options:

Settings for Registry CheckAdminSettings = 0

Public Folder is named "Outlook Security Settings" with a security
template originally created with outlook 2000 and exchange 2000. Use
the following settings for the Outlook Security Settings (OSS) and
Programmatic Settings (PS) inside the .oft file.

OSS
-Enable "Scripts in one-off outlook forms" and check both the
"automatically approve for outlook object model" and "outlook custom
form".

PS
-sending items via OOM auto
-sending items via Simple MAPI auto
-accessing the ADD Book via OOM auto
-resolving names via Simple MAPI auto
-accessing ADD info via OOM auto
-when oopening message via Simple MAPI auto

All other options were default values

*These worked for my program because through trial and error I found
out it used Simple MAPI and the Outlook Object Model. Other
configurations may be different.

Local Group Policy for USER CONFIGURATION/Administrative Templates/
Microsoft Office Outlook 2007/Security/Security Form Settings
-Once you expand this selection select the Outlook Security Mode
setting, Enable it, and Select the Public Folder "Outlook Security
Settings" (Or the name of your folder) and click OK. I forced a group
policy update and restarted my computer to make sure all setting went
into effect.

*Yes I downloaded the adminpack.exe for office system 2007 and used
the outlk12.admin template for my local group policy.

It seems to work like a charm without a screen delay from my third
party application. However, now I would like to deploy this via group
policy without the form, so I am not stuck with this solution in the
future.

Thanks.

Jay

Settings for Registry CheckAdminSettings = 0

Outlook 2007 does not use that registry value.

If you don't want to use the public folder, then use the other settings in the User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Office Outlook 2007\Security\Security Form Settings\Programmatic Security section of the policy editor. See http://technet2.microsoft.com/Offic...9d81-40fc-87c2-73a5962736801033.mspx?mfr=true

great then I don't have to worry about changing it on the user
stations (the registry value). Thanks for your help.
