That is what I was afraid of.
The application I am working to repair has 60+ people using it daily making
it difficult but not impossible to publish to Personal Forms libraries.
The company however has over 19,000 employees and I suspect there will be a
lot of other applications that will begin to fail as well and am hoping to
find a solution that will provide benefit company wide with the least
disruption to the clients.
Is it easy for the Exchange admin to allow one-off forms to operate? They
may not have a problem allowing it but if it involves installing custom
forms, setting up security groups and rolling out registry patches it will
involve several different support areas and policy decisions for those areas
which will take some time to get in place.
Where would the Organizational Forms library exist normally? I cannot find
it on our servers and suspect I just do not have rights to see the folder.
Is it at all possible to create a shortcut to a form in the Organizational
Forms folder so that clients will not need special view rights in order to
go and select the form for use? Changing the work habits of so many
individuals will lead to a lot of confusion.
Is it possible to replace the existing form with one that when opened will
just switch the client to the Organizational form? This would negate any
need for keeping two versions of the same form or altering the clients
workflow in launching the form.
If I can handle our own application fix programmatically I have done my job
but a company wide solution would be much better. I just do not have
control over what or how a company wide fix is implemented and can only
provide my own opinion and hope they agree.
Thanks.
A single registry change on the client is required, then all the security
settings can be managed centrally in an Exchange public folder. See
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup/admin.htm
The Organizational Forms Library is a system folder, not visible in the
Exchange folder hierarchy. The administrator must create it. You'll see it
only when you publish a form or choose published forms. See
http://www.slipstick.com/dev/launchform.htm for ways to make it easy to
launch a form without selecting it from a library.
This side-effect of the Outlook Email Security Update is well known. I would
suggest that before rolling it out to 19,000 users, someone might want to
inventory Outlook-related applications that will likely be affected.
If you publish the form to Org Forms and remove it from its currently
published location, Outlook will automatically find and use the form
definition in Org Forms. Make sure, of course, that you keep the version
numbers sequential.
