Options to protect data in public folders
Hi,
I want to create a public exchange-server folder that holds contact items, and want that users will be unable to distibute any data from that folder by exporting or forwarding it in any way to other applications/persons/storage locations, i.e. forward by mail/vCard, copy to clipboard, save to folder etc.. I plan to build a COM-Add-in that will disable relevant Outlook menu-items. Is this the most efficient approach to accomplish this? In Options Outlook allows to disable/deinstall a Com-Add-in. Are there any policies /secuity settings that prevent users from disable/deinstall the Add-in? If not some users might simply disable the Add-in and will then be able to distribute data from the folder. Appreciate any thougths! -- Thanks in advance Bodo

Options to protect data in public folders
If you install the add-in in HKLM instead of HKCU, users can't disable it. Of course, starting Outlook with the /safe switch would disable it. Are you planning to disable screen printing, too?
What I'm trying to get at is that there is no foolproof method for protecting contact data, just as there is none to protect any other type of corporate data 100%. If users can see it and are determined to transfer it, they'll find a way to do so, even it means ballpoint pen on the soles of the feet. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming: Jumpstart for Power Users and Administrators http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=54 "Bodo" wrote in message ...
