stop users editing MAPI profile
 

I need to stop users editing sections of their MAPI profile (Outllok 2003),
i.e, restrict them from changing their 'pre set' rules wizard and sections
in their ''Tools - Options' menu. Is there a way to do this? If so, how?
The reason is that the MAPI profiles are on laptops which need to be very
secure to the user.
TIA

The "MAPI profile" is the collection of account, data store and address information. Rules are not part of the mail profile, but are stored in the data store.

Most if not all of what you want to do can probably be accomplished with a Group Policy Object, but the details will depend on exactly what you have in mind.
