Stopping Outlook Rules

[BKGarry]

Does anyone know a succesful way of either stoppint the access to Rules and Alerts in Outlook 2003? Either through GPO or a Script.

 

We need to block students adding autoreply rules to Eache Other,

Outlook or Outlook Web Access?

If it is Outlook Web Access you can remove the Rules feature but it's a Server Setting so will affect ALL users.

 

Go to your Exchange Server

Open IE

Enter the address (you need the s) https://127.0.0.1/owaadmin

Under the Customization section choose 'Server-wide feature support'

Untick the box for 'Rules'

Click Ok.

 

Users will still be able to create and Out of Office reply though.

I've just had a trawl through the Outlook ADM Template and can see no such options I'm afraid.

[BKGarry]

in the ADM you can add items to be blocked from the interface in the format of File | Open.

 

But I cannot think how to block Rules?

The option is disabled in the User CP section.

 

On the left hand side go to Edit Options under the Settings & Options section.

 

Then look under Messaging and Notification for Default Thread Subscription Mode

 

I've changed mine to Instant email notification which works the way the old boards did.
