Provide group settings policy when updating existing Outlook profiles with RPC encryption
From a client perspective, deploying Outlook-Exchange security settings is probably the easiest solution for organizations with a large number of Outlook clients. This solution includes one change on the great server (domain controller) and your clients will automatically update as soon as the policy downloads the client.
Outlook 2010
By default, Outlook 2010 RPC encryption is enabled. Therefore, you should only deploy this setting using Group Policy for one of the following reasons:
- In the original configuration and Outlook 2010 has disabled RPC encryption between Outlook and Exchange.
- You want to prevent users from changing general RPC encryption when setting up their Outlook profile.
The default Outlook Group Policy template for the coming year contains a Group Policy setting that determines which wizards set up RPC encryption for Outlook Exchange. To use Group Policy to update existing Outlook 2010 profiles, follow these steps:
-
Download the latest version of the Outlk14.adm Group Policy Template .
-
Successfully add .File adm to the domain controller.
Note
The steps to include items such as an .adm file in a controlled domain depend on the version of Windows you are using. Also, anyone applying a policy to help you can apply an organizational unit rather than a primary domain, the steps may also be different for this aspect of applying the policy. Please refer to your Windows documentation for more details.
Skip to step 3 after adding this .adm template to Local in the c editorupp policy.
-
Under User Configuration, expand Administrative Templates (ADM) to locate the current template host policy. Using Outlk14.Template, this single node is named Microsoft Outlook 2010.Account
