Hi,

Is there any way to turn off Allow/Deny messages from popping up besides
buying third party software? This is very frustrating for our users and for
the IT department. Microsoft could have made this a whole lot easier to admin.

Our software vendors will not change there code....

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

You can mitigate that with a free tool you can download here:

named Express ClickYes (found here:
http://www.contextmagic.com/express-clickyes/) but that opens a security
hole you can't plug easily.

Are you using Exchange Server? What software is causing it? Properly
written addins shouldn't cause it.

We are using exchange 2007.

Our software vendors do not want to change their software.

Tell the vendor to fix it or you'll find one who has the programming skills
to correctly write outlook add-ins. :)

Then see these articles on how to use the exchange security form:

I followed the directions for implementing the Outlook Security form, but
still gettting the Allow/Deny message. I also added a GPO for Outlook
Security Mode to use the security policy from the Outlook Security Settings
public folder. I used the Security form from Office 2003.

The Allow/Deny message is as follows:

A program is trying to access e-mail address information stored in Outlook.
If this is unexpected, click Deny and verify your antivirus software is
up-to-date. blah blah blah

In addition, how do I change permissions for the public folder I created? It
will not display the permissions.

Thanks,
