Outlook Security Settings

[henrik]

Hello all.

We have an application that uses the Outlook Object Model to create and send
out mails.
In earlier versions we have used the public folder method of not warning
certain users / mailboxes to the potentially dangerous occurance of an
external program trying to send mail.

Anyone know how to do this in Outlook 2007?

The above method that worked in Office 2000, XP and 2003 no longer works for
Office 2007.
Security Mode keeps showing as "Default" no matter what.

If you want to continue using the public folder technique, did you add the necessary registry value to the Outlook 2007 client?

The newer and better method for Outlook 2007 is to use a Group Policy Object. All the options are now included in the administrative template for Outlook 2007.

Furthermore, external programs will not trigger security prompts for Outlook 2007 if it is running on a machine secured with an up-to-date anti-virus program, as shown on the Tools | Trust Center | Programmatic Settings dialog.

I added the "old" values in the registry, yes, that is:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Security]
"CheckAdminSettings"=dword:00000001

I actually looked for the administrative downloads for Office 2007, but
could not find them anywhere on the office area at microsoft.com

Tried downloadable files area on office.microsoft.com --> 0 files for Office
2007.
Tried MSDN subscriber downloads. No luck there in finding ORK material to
download.
Tried http://office.microsoft.com/ork, but only found help in the form of
some webpages, and no downloads there either.
So if you know where to find them, can you perhaps point me to them, plz?
