How do I grey out outlook 2010 & 2013 Signature Options

Hello,
I know by using the administrative templates for outlook 2003/2007 that you can disable, or grey out the ability to make changes to your signature. Our company is looking to deploy a template signature, and we want to have the ability to disable users from
changing their signatures. We are using Office 365 for e-mail and outlook 2010/2013. Obviously if the user wants to edit their signature to each e-mail they write (manually) we can't control that.
What I am looking for is a way through group policy, local registry settings or something else that will allow us to disable users from changing signature settings. The only setting similar to this for the ADM Templates for 2010+ is to completely disable
signatures, which we obviously do not want.
Please let me know if you have any other ideas/suggestions.
Thank you!

You can disable many commands using DisabledCmdBarItemsList - this is in the GPO under Outlook > disable Items in user interface > custom
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\15.0\outlook\DisabledCmdBarItemsList
String name: TCID1 (where 1 is incremented for each command you want disabled)
The value for the Insert Signature command on the ribbon in forms is 5608 but I didn't see any other signature commands on the list - and it doesn't disable the right click, choose signature command. A spreadsheet with the command id's is here - http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=6627

Message recall from shared mailbox greyed out Outlook 2010

Hello,
Can anyone advise if it's possible to recall a message sent from a shared mailbox? The user has full access permissions to the shared mailbox but the 'recall this message' option is greyed out.
We have installed the hotfix below but it says the update is already installed on the system?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2475877/en-gb
This is using Windows 8, Outlook 2010 32bit and Exchange 2007 SP3.

Hi,
Try to remove and grant the user the permission to the shared mailbox again to see if the issue still exists.
This issue should have been fixed by kb2475877, please also make sure Office is patched up to date.
We can try with a new profile to setup the account, check if the issue persists:

Microsoft Outlook 2010 & 2013 cannot set automatic reply settings

Hello,
We cannot seem to set automatic reply's within outlook 2010 & 2013. We have an exchange server 2010. We
can setup automatic reply through OWA absolutely fine. The error that we receive is 'Your automatic reply settings cannot be displayed because the server is currently unavailable. Try again later.
However we can setup out of office on any other office version below 2010 fine. We have run through
a number of tests and have come to the conclusion that the auto discover service is not configured correctly. I have been told to run through the following
"We need to make sure the IIS service is assigned to the certificate which includes mail.mydomainname.co.uk
name:
Enable-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint 62C247B3BD081D0A8B074D4A928A76E6DA3BABBA -Services
POP,IMAP,SMTP,IIS
Then restart IIS service
to apply the changes.
If the user is connect
to mailbox from external environment as your test results, it is recommended to add the autodiscover.mydomain.co.uk name in your certificate with IIS service. If so, the autodiscover
service can be accessed successfully in your posted second steps(https:/autodiscover.mydomain.co.uk/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml). Alternatively, if you don’t want to change your certificate configuration, we need to create a new SRV record for mail.mydomainname.co.uk
to make your autodiscover succeed in last steps of Srv Record lookup method".
So I followed this and opened Exchange Managemnet Shell and ran the following.....
'Enable-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint 62C247B3BD081D0A8B074D4A928A76E6DA3BABBA -Services POP,IMAP,SMTP,IIS'
The following output was displayed:

Hi,
We have this problem with some of our users, in that they get the server unavailable error when trying to activate the out of office.
In our case this is because the Proxy is blocking the connection from the PC to the Exchange, so we just go to Internet Options - Connections - LAN Settings - Advanced (under proxy server) then just add *.domain.com into the Exceptions box at the bottom.
This seems to resolve the issue and allow them to set their out of office. The only reason this reoccurs for these users is because their roaming profile for some reason won't save the proxy settings, which is a different issue.
Hope this helps.

Connection Office365 Exchange - Outlook 2010/2013 (Desktop)

I have an Office365 account with Exchange function, connected with my personal domain. This works perfect for almost a year now, but since a few days, Outlook (desktop) can't connect to my ExchangeMail/Office365 anymore. Some details:
I can reach my mail via the Web App
My iPhone receives my email; no problems here
The password has not been changed
I've tried to connect with Outlook2010 on Windows7 and with Outlook2013 on Windows8; both can't connect
Profile removed and re-added: no result
As during creating/editing the profile in the ConfigurationScreen/Email, as in Outlook (2010 & 2013) itself, the login window pops up and can't connect (and because of that, Outlook automatically close).
In short: what is the problem here and -more important- how can I fix this?
Many Thanks,
Ewoud
PS: Apologies if this question has been asked in the wrong forum.

Hi,
Please check the problematic users' Outlook settings by the following steps:
1. Click File > Account Settings > Account Settings > Change > More settings.
2. In Security tab, make sure "Encrypt data between Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange" option is checked, "Always prompt for logon credentials" is unchecked.
3. Change the logon network security to Negotiate Authentication, and Apply > OK to set it.
Restart Outlook to have a try. If the issue persists, please
re-create Outlook profile to check whether the issue persists.

Outlook 2010/2013 clients, outside of our main office, can't connect to our Exchange 2010 server

Hi,
Our remote users had been connecting to our Exchange server at our office since the Exchange server was installed in 2011.
Starting last Wednesday, Outlook 2010/2013 clients, outside of our main office, can't connect to our Exchange 2010 server. Outlook kept asking for a username and a password. At the same time, entries of Event 4625 were generated on the Event
log on out Exchange server.
Events 4625 has the following properties, "Logon Type: 3", "Failure Reason: An Error occured during Logon.", "Status: 0xc000006d", "Logon Process: NtLmSsp", and "Authentication Package: NTLM".
By the way, I had used a laptop to test this problem. Its Outlook work fine ion the main office, but it won't work outside of our office.
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks.
Johnnie :(

How do you grey out/disable fields under a radio button if another radio button is selected in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

How do you grey out/disable fields under a radio button if another radio button is selected in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?
I’m creating a form where the user has three options to make a payment.
1. charge to my credit card
2. charge associated costs to bank account
3. By cheque or money order
My Problem is, under each option, there are required fields that has to be filled out. So if the user picks the first option, charge to my credit card, they would fill out the required fields (credit card number, expiration date etc.). But when they click submit button to submit the form, it won’t let them, because there are required fields under the second option. Also, I have the radio buttons for the three options setup so that if the user holds the shift key and clicks a radio button, it unchecks it. So what I'm trying to do is this: If the user selects the radio button for option 1, the other two options are greyed out/disabled. And if the user holds down the shift key and clicks radio button for option one again, it unchecks the radio button and the other two options are available again. Is there a way to grey out or disable the two other payment options when the other one is picked. I’m assuming I will have to use javascript, but what would the coding be and which field do I write it under?
Thanks in advance guys

You will have to use custom JavaScript to access the various properties of the field object.
The radio button group has a value. When no button is selected that value is "Off". When an individual button has been selected the value for the group will be the option or export value for that individual button.
Once you have determined the button selected, then you will know the form fields that need to be made required. You use JavaScript to access those fields and change the "read only" property to false, and set the "required" property to true. For the fields associated with the other options, those fields should be reset, made read only, and have the "required" property set to false.
Disabling (graying-out) Form Fields
>> Also, I have the radio buttons for the three options setup so that if the user holds the shift key and clicks a radio button, it unchecks it.
Radio button in a PDF do not work that way. Only check boxes can be unchecked by clicking on one that has been checked.
If you plan the coding for the Mouse UP action to test for all possible options and code for each of those options you should have what you want.
If you want actual code you need to provide a lot more details.
It is even possible to perform some credit card and bank routing number validations with JavaScript and some check digit formulas.

How do you grey out a radio button if a text field is blank in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

How do you grey out a radio button if a text field is blank in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?
So this what I'm trying to do:
(     )   |TEXT FIELD|
(     )   |TEXT FIELD|
(     )   |                  |
(     )   |TEXT FIELD|
I have a radio button: (     )
and a text field: |TEXT FIELD|
The third text field is blank, and I would like for the radio button next to it greyed out (user can't click on it) since the text field is blank. Is this possible to achieve? I'm assuming I'll have to use javascript, but what would the code be and would it be entered in the javascript editor for the text field or the radio button?
Thanks in advance guys

Hey, thanks, but it didn't work
I have the text fields as read only. Could that be why it's not working? Should I make the fields not read only?
Thanks,

Outlook 2010/2013 not able to connect to Exchange 2013

Hi, I'm the midst of co-exist between Exchange 2010/2013. I have issues where none of internal users that migrated to Exchange 2013 not able to connect via Outlook 2010/2013. OWA is running fine without issue. Using MCA, the issue due to port is blocked
but I have verified that firewall on Exchange 2013 server is turn off all.
    1. Exchange 2010/2013 cert is using public CA cert.
    2. Both outlook anywhere external URL for Exchange2010/2013 is set to outlook.domain.com. internal pointing to server.domain.com. while autodiscover is set to autodiscover.domain.com.
   3. user mailbox in exchange 2010 do not have any issue
while if I try to logon, the error look like below:
Cannot open your default e-mail forlders. You must connect to microsoft exchange with the current profile before you can synchronuze your folder with your outlook data file (.ost).
what else should I check ?
many thanks.

Hello,
What server does “outlook.domain.com” and “autodiscover.domain.com” point to, Exchange 2013 FE or 2010 CAS?
You can also do a Outlook Test Email AutoConfiguration by the following steps:
a. While Outlook is running, click the CTRL key and then right-click the Outlook icon in the system tray and then select “Test Email Autoconfiguration”.
b. Confirm that your email address is in the address field, uncheck “Use Guessmart” and “secure Guessmart authentication” boxes. Then click the “Test” button.

How do I grey out info per line item on a actioned Purchase Requisition ?

Hi:
Can any one please tell me how do I grey out all information for a line item (and all other relevant information for that line on the requisition) on a already actioned Purchase Requisition / PO.
i.e. Although PO is already placed for a requisition, user still changes dates, qty's ect on that line item and we want to prevent this.
Many thanks.
W.

Hi
Check it in OMCQ
Convert the message "06 152 Purchase orders already exist for this item" into error item.
If u still want anybody to change the PR itself... if can be controlled via release indicators...
Check the release indicators for PO/PR, maintain the "changebale"
Check this also

Outlook 2010 - Automatic signatures for auto-mapped shared mailbox..

Hi,
I have recently received below 02 requests for a shared mailbox:
Automatic signature or standard bottom lines for shared mailbox, user have full mailbox and send as permission?
Automatic response and auto delete of all incoming mails for shared mailbox?
Is there a way to achieve this, Please help!

Hi,
If you want to set separately default signatures for each mailbox, primary mailbox and shared mailbox, I'm afraid there is no way to achive this goal from Exchange side, you may need some third party software.
Here is a similar thread for your reference.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/5c62c553-7533-4547-b49d-dcbffeb447e1/outlook-2010-automatic-signatures-for-automapped-shared-accounts?forum=outlook
To create automatic reply, you can use the Set-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration command. And if you want to delete all messages for incoming to this share mailbox, you can run the New-InboxRule command to create an inbox rule for this shared mailbox to delete
incoming messages.
More information about these commands:

How can I use the Outlook 2010 social connector to connect to a Sharepoint 2013 mysite?

Hello Forumfriends!
We have recently (like, last Weekend) migrated our Sharepoint 2010 Farm to SharePoint 2013 and we have started using mysites.
Now, there is a nice featur in Outlook 2010, the social connector. This connector connects nicely to SharePoint 2010 mysite (it does, I have tested myself).
Unfortunately, I seem to be unable to connect to my new SharePoint 2013 mysite with my Outlook 2010 Client.
Can anyone help me with this?
In SharePoint 2010 I configured the social connector using the URL
http://mysitehost/my. When I do the same with my SharePoint 2013 mysite it says "Could not connect to Server"
We are not using Office 365 and no, we will not rollout Outlook 2013.
Regards,
Jack

Hi Jack,
According to your description, my understanding is that you could use Outlook 2010 social connector to connect a SharePoint 2013 MySite.
The OSC makes Outlook 2010 a social networking tool by connecting to the new social experiences in SharePoint 2010. That connection allows the OSC to download activity feeds for colleagues and display them inside the new People Pane.
When using Outlook 2013 Social Connector connecting to SharePoint 2013, Outlook calls /_layouts/15/ActivityFeed.aspx with parameter (destination user email) to sync updates. However, it is likely that Outlook 2010 cannot recognize SharePoint 2013 newsfeed.
So, for solving your issue, I suggest you use Outlook 2013 Social Connector to connect a SharePoint 2013 MySite.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

Outlook 2010, 2013 on new 2010 exchange server get windows security popup for password

We recently migrated exchange 2003 on 2003 server to Server 2008R2 and Exchange 2010 SP3. The installation had multiple problems and we resorted to Microsoft technical support for the server resolution. On the server level it seems to function
as expected. Our problem is with outlook 2010 and 2013. Some of these outlook 2010 installs existed prior to the exchange 2010 upgrade and worked as expected prior to the upgrade
Now with new machines (never been connected to our Domain) and some existing windows 7 machines with outlook 2010 and 2013, we get a windows security popup requesting the password.
We have spent a couple of weeks reading blogs, how two's and guaranteed fixes that don't fix. The best we can do is start outlook, get the folders to sync and shortly thereafter it will request the password. You can enter the password and
it comes right back requesting the password. You can cancel the request and you will get needs password in the area where it shows connected to exchange server and then will not prompt for another password until you need an update from the server
or you try to send and email. The email will not send until provide a password and immediately press send. Once in the outbox it will require the password again to send and then cancel the popup and repeat the process again.
Outlook test, turn off discovery, remove all credentials do not help. Outlook anywhere turned off. So far nothing seems to help.
Does anybody have a solution to my dilemma?

Hi,
Please check the problematic users' Outlook settings by the following steps:
1. Click File > Account Settings > Account Settings > Change > More settings.
2. In Security tab, make sure "Encrypt data between Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange" option is checked, "Always prompt for logon credentials" is unchecked.
3. Change the logon network security to Negotiate Authentication, and Apply > OK to set it.
Restart Outlook to have a try. If the issue persists, please
re-create Outlook profile to check whether the issue persists.
