MS Office Forum / Outlook / New Users / November 2005Outlook 2003 and Remote Assistance
Whenever a user creates a Remote Assistance invite using Outlook, A security dialog appears asking the user to confirm access by an external program. I know this part of of Office to prevent the spread of worms/trojans, etc.. I am also familiar with configuring a specific Outlook public Folder to trust specified ActiveX controls. The question is, what ActiveX control needs to be added to the trust list? The dialog is not always shown on top causing frustrated users and helpdesk personnel. I'd prefer to prevent it from appearing. There is no mechanism for trusting specific ActiveX controls with regard to the Outlook object model security guard. Perhaps you're thinking of COM add-ins, which doesn't apply here because it's an external program sending the message not an Outlook add-in. See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup.htm#autosec for more informaton.

I'd prefer to prevent it from appearing. Is there any known way around this problem? I've seen nothing in Technet or the usenet groups in regards to this particular issue. Did you look at the page I suggested?

I am familiar with and already use the Security described for some custom MAPI apps. The problem is identifying which control to add to Trusted Code section. The Trusted Code section applies only to Outlook add-ins, not external applications, which is what you're dealing with.
