You're right in that I wouldn't call something like GoToMeeting free an enterprise solution, but Cisco's WebEx offering with full tie-ins over site-to-site vpn and $40,000 of teleconferencing gear per location (camera/mic/phone/screen, so not counting switches or routers) that's MADE FOR IT and sold BY THE VENDOR still has trouble talking to things here and there. Would you call Sage and Quickbooks Enterprise "small time software"?īecause they both suck out loud and have massive levels of spaghetti code bloat even before you start trying to use API's to interface them with something else. (Yeah, you can uncheck them, but how do you totally kill their existence?)Īny assistance would be welcome, up to and including things like deny rights on registry values.
I'm blowing RIDICULOUS amounts of time with escalated tickets where all I have to do is uninstall and re-install the plugin.every two hours per machine.Įvery single outlook add-in I've seen since office 2003 is a total hog and it's only getting worse with 2016/365.
They install automatically, and they're regularly breaking mailflow, crashing outlook, causing massive "not responding" delays, and all sorts of other things involving people having add-ins they don't want, don't use, and can't remove (because unchecking is the only option, it doesn't kill the actual plugin). That being said, is there a location I can push deny rights to on a local pc to automatically kill and remove all outlook add-ins? I work with a boatload of clients who have enterprise software, so that means local admin is basically a "must" for many users, because some (if not most) of the enterprise software world is really crappy about that.
I want the ability to enforce No Add-ins for anything, ever, for anyone, under any circumstances unless expressly dictated by OU/GPO, or even per user manually, or better yet, not at all. I want them 100% completely unavailable as an outlook option.
I don't want to disable add-ins, I know how to do that. I waste more time being annoyed by third party software that installs it automatically (I'm not even looking at you, GoToMeeting, because while you suck, at least your add-in is optional).
