Outlook Object Model scripts must be disallowed to run for shared folders.

Rule version DTOO232 · STIG v2 · 2022-03-11

Discussion

This policy setting controls whether Outlook executes scripts associated with custom forms or folder home pages for shared folders. If you enable this policy setting, Outlook cannot execute any scripts associated with shared folders, overriding any configuration changes on users' computers. If you disable this policy setting, Outlook will automatically run any scripts associated with custom forms or folder home pages for shared folders. If you do not configure this policy setting, the behavior is the equivalent of setting the policy to Enabled.

Check

Verify the policy value for User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Microsoft Outlook 2016 -> Outlook Options -> Other -> Advanced "Do not allow Outlook object model scripts to run for shared folders" is set to "Enabled".

Procedure: Use the Windows Registry Editor to navigate to the following key:

HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\16.0\outlook\security

Criteria: If the value SharedFolderScript is REG_DWORD = 0, this is not a finding.

Fix

Set the policy value for User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Microsoft Outlook 2016 -> Outlook Options -> Other -> Advanced "Do not allow Outlook object model scripts to run for shared folders" to "Enabled".
