QUESTION POSED ON: 08 December 2005
How do I prevent Microsoft Outlook users from assigning other users rights to their mailboxes? I want to restrict or remove the Permission tab in the Properties view in Outlook. Permissions to mailboxes should be assigned by the administrators through Active Directory, not by the users.
The quickest, easiest and safest way to remove the Properties tab is to switch the delivery location of mail from the Exchange server to a personal folder. However, this configuration is usually considered a problem and not a solution.
I do not know of an easy way to hide the Permissions tab for all mailbox folders. The GPO templates included with the Office Resource Kit do offer a variety of policy settings that help administrators control Outlook client settings. However, hiding the Permissions tab is not one of them.
