MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Forms / January 2004Outlook Security settings
This is an Outlook 2003/Exchange 2003 problem I am trying to set up the Outlook Security form to allow a COM addin to work> I have followed all the instructions as specified in Customizing the Outlook Security Features Package but when I try to save the form I get the following message "The access levels on this security setting cannot be saved,probably because of an invalid password. This setting is currently set as a default setting for all users. You should either delete the setting or save it again, and type the correct password." Any help on this problem would be most appreciated Does anyone have an answer to this yet?

I've tried pumping them all up to Owner, but this has no effect either. I thought it may actually security settings in Outlook preventing the form from running and making these changes? Brad > Dumb question, but do you have permission to save new items in the Outlook > Security Settings folder? [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > > > Any help on this problem would be most appreciated The Default user should have the Reviewer role and no more. You don't want them creating new security settings items. The administrator initially needs Owner permission in order to publish the security settings form to the folder. (I reread your original message and can't tell whether you actually published the form to the folder. This is a required step.) After you get the folder set up, you will probably want to assign the Editor role to a security group to manage it.

I'm trying to save the settings as the Administrator, and it's still giving me the same problem. I did publish this form to the folder, with the exact names that the Doco says you need to use. Any other ideas? Brad > The Default user should have the Reviewer role and no more. You don't want > them creating new security settings items.

There is nothing in the security settings form that would require a password, so I don't know where that dialog is coming from. If it were my installation, I'd probably delete the folder and start over.

I used the reg hack to enable certain extensions on a per-client basis - this isn't exactly a supported fix from Microsoft in an Exchange scenario, though. The only mitigating factor I can think of is that the Exchange Alias for the Mailbox is Administrator, while the actual username "Administrator" has been changed to something far less obvious. Could this have any bearing? B > I'm baffled. There is nothing in the security settings form that would > require a password, so I don't know where that dialog is coming from.

The registry setting to adjust the attachment behavior certainly is supported in an Exchange scenario and is a perfectly legitimate way of managing that feature. The security settings form is most needed when you need to manage the behavior of the "object model guard." Mailbox? What mailbox are we talking about here? The folder needs to be a public folder, not a mailbox folder.

The Administrator Mailbox's alias is Administrator, while the Active Directory username is something completely different - SID is still the same though. All of this is being done through the Administrator Mailbox in Outlook, and yes, the form is published to the Public Folder exactly the way the Microsoft Documentation describes. The only other factor is that the Exchange Server we are using is part of Small Business Server 2003 - this wouldn't be affecting it in any way?

Hi Sue & Brad Even though I posted this in the first place I have not had a chance to get back and reply although I have been following the postings. Brad has done everything that I have pretty well to the letter and I am in the same situation. Also like Brad I am using SBS 2003. This problem occurs on 2 of my customer systems again using SBS 2003 Thanks for the suggestions - I feel this may run for a while >-----Original Message----- >Sorry, I didn't write that very well.

One thing that might be useful to try would be to give a different user Owner permission on the folder, set up an Outlook profile for that mailbox, and start Outlook with that profile to try to set up some security settings items.
