HKCU entry for all users

[Doobster]

I am looking for a way to load the below registry key for all users. This is a "read-only" key and these users are not in the admin group.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Security]

"CheckAdminSettings"=dword:00000002

This key will stop the Outlook pop-up about another application trying to access Outlook.

You might try a local edit using REGEDT32 (runas, etc). I never had to do this so that's a stab in the dark.

This one is guaranteed, though: on future installs, add this line to HIVEDEF.INF:

HKCU,"Software\Policies\Microsoft\Security","CheckAdminSettings",0x00010001,02,00,00,00

I don't think the runas would work since that would edit the runas account's HKCU not the actual current user.

Try this. Copy and paste the following code into an ADM file (outlookcheckadmsettings.adm or something...just so you know what it is in the future). Put the new custom ADM template in %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\GroupPolicy\ADM\. Now run gpedit.msc on the server. You'll have a new category under Local Computer Policy > User Configuration > Administrative Templates called "Nuisances". Configure the "Disable Outlook Nag Message" setting to "Enabled" and it should apply to all users that logon to the server.

CLASS USER
   CATEGORY Nuisances
	  POLICY "Disable Outlook Nag Message"
		 KEYNAME "Software\Policies\Microsoft\Security"
		 VALUENAME "CheckAdminSettings"
		 VALUEON NUMERIC 2
	  END POLICY
   END CATEGORY
