Also, there are a few neat tricks you can implement on the client side to ease administration of Outlook. Rather than bash on it why not just administer. There are some simple registry hacks you can implement for .vbs, .js, etc... scripts so that they open in notepad instead of executing. Also, strong AV software on the Exchange Server /w attachment filtering (www.sybari.com) capabilities doesn't hurt? In addition, it doesn't hurt to have an in-service every two months to teach users "Proper Use" procedures for the mail. And, an "Email Policy" supported by your HR department is always nice. And while your at it....run some decent A/V on the client side that likes to play with Outlook (www.symantec.com). Am I wrong?

I use a policy to keep it locked down on the client side. I don't believe that the problem stems from the "creation" of Outlook. The problem is that "some" admins are not pro-active. Others are simply "too busy" or overworked. I think most engineers know what to do they just have a hard time keeping up with everything. Especially when you a one man/woman (person?) shop! (I'll use myself as an example). -----Original Message----- From: Dean, Nathaniel, V.

Whatever is the dominant application will see the dominant hacks, security holes and have viruses written just for them. If your users are satisfied with the free products that are out then use them. We used pegasus mail back in the early 90's... -----Original Message----- From: Steve Dallas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 16, 2001 11:36 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Ban Outlook?
