Outlook - "Outlook Security Settings" Setup

Asked By Chri

Having a few challenges with this implementation.

Setup:
--------
Office 2000 SR-1 (latest Service Packs) - no Outlook
Outlook 2003

Outlook 2003 Client, complete install, done on a desktop by desktop install
- installed by domain administrator account, either by logging directly in or
by using "runas"

Implemented GPO for Outlook 2003 as well.

I have installed the form into Public Folder and should be good
-------------------------------------------------------------------
My challenge seems to be pushing the following registry key (trying it on my
desktop only at this time)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Security]

I tried to push via login script and via GPO login script
@regedit /s <keyname>

I even created an MSI for the key using Visual Studio.

After investigation - it appears I do not have permission to write to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft

So, I can fix this I'm sure my logging in as admin and modifying the
permission - however, I suspect this permission will be the same on all
desktops.  Is there a method of pushing the key with admin privledges, or
maybe a script that can change the permission on the set of keys to write -
than import the key - than restore key settings?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Because you're using GPO, you should use the Group Policy Editor and the
administrative template file for Outlook 2003. See
