Microsoft Outlook Hotmail Connector

We are installing this connector by default on our machines, so the people have the ability to add a live/hotmail/outlook.com account to their outlook 2010.
On first start up, it is asking "Would you Like to add an hotmail account", which is a small wizard. Is it possible to disable this wizard through a gpo or registry key?

This is by design. When you install Hotmail connector for Outlook and there is no hotmail account in your default profile, the wizard would pop-up. There is no gpo or registry key to disable it.
For workaround, we may disable the Hotmail connector add-ins through gpo or registry key. Users may enable it if they really want to use it. Thanks.

So how can this be done by which registry setting or GPO?

  • Outlook 2010 cannot send/receive mail AND states mailbox is being optimized due to upgrade AND outlook hotmail connector needs updating.

    As of 2014-March, the same thing happening on my system. This seems to have occurred, after the latest batch of 28 patches (including SP2 - KB2687455) from Microsoft Updates applied on 13-Mar-2014 and 19-Mar-2014.  I have been running Outlook 2010
    since it was first available.
    An unhelpful error is thrown, after trying to manually perform a Send/Receive:
    Not Implemented
    While in Outlook 2010, clicking FILE > INFO reveals the following warnings in red:
    "Upgrade in Progress. Your mailbox is currently being optimized as part of upgrade to Outlook 2010. This one time process may take over 15 minutes and performance may be affected while the optimization is in progress."
    There's an "Upgrade Now" button but it fails to produce any visible result. Next to the button, another warning in red:
    "You must upgrade to the latest version of Outlook Hotmail Connector to continue using this e-mail account."
    Again, I do not have the Outlook Hotmail Connector installed. Nor have I recently upgraded to Outlook 2010.
    I am unable to access ANY account settings, as well as poll my various mailboxes.
    While reviewing the list of installed updates (Control Panel > Programs and Features > View Installed Updates), there are 28 approximate patches -
    specifically, Service Pack 2 (KB2687455) - that were recently applied to Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010.
    Microsoft, what the #$%# is going on?
    I've read some related posts that suggest the core issue is other than what Outlook is reporting.  The posts recommend the following.  However, in my case, the below steps did not correct the
    issue.  In fact, the new profile would not allow me to view/manage the associated accounts or data files.
    (1) Remove your current Outlook Profile. No worries - this doesn't affect your mail data (.PST files):
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/outlook-help/remove-a-profile-HP010356455.aspx
    (2) Create a new Outlook Profile:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/outlook-help/introduction-to-profiles-HA010355553.aspx
    Note: Outlook complained "An unknown error occurred, error code: 0x80040154."  However, exiting the Mail config window and relaunching shows that the new profile is intact.
    (3) If you previously had the Outlook Hotmail Connector installed, reinstall it.  If not, then just ignore and the warning should go away after creating a new Profile.
    32-bit connector: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=24677

    I was able to resolve this issue as follows.  However, why it occurred is unknown at this time and
    unrelated to a corrupted Outlook Profile, as mentioned on my prior post.  It seems highly probable that it was caused by the recent batch of Microsoft Updates for this product which included Service Pack (SP) 2.
    1) Performed a "repair" of Outlook 2010, via the Control Panel > Programs and Features.
    2) Rebooted.
    3) Prior to launching Outlook, returned to Control Panel > Mail and configured the location of my PST file (not in default directory).
    4) Had to reestablish as off my mail accounts, settings/preferences/etc. This step was the most tedious and frustrating.

  • Emailing PDFs in Microsoft Outlook

    Have emailed Adobe PDFs through Outlook for years with no issue. Presently
    working with Office 2003 and Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0. The email
    buttons appear under 'File' at the taskbar and a separate email button.
    Neither launches Outlook. How can one troubleshoot this?

    I'm not sure if you figured this out but what I did to fix this is went to File->options. Clicked add ins, then clicked manage add-ins and disabled the Microsoft Outlook Social Connector add in.

  • Microsoft outlook connector error: no available message stores

    Any assistance out there on the 2010 MS OFFICE PRO - - upgraded from 2003 and having difficulties sync-ing the device.

    Hi there,
    There are lots and lots of threads in these forums of folks that are either 1) angry in that they thing RIM is going too slow or 2) truly trying to help each other out. The formal response is that 2010 is not yet supported by the RIM DTM software and no expectation of when that shall happen can be provided.
    Good luck!

  • Synching Blackberry with Microsoft Outlook

    A while back last year, after much time spent by Blackberry support staff on my behalf, I accepted the fact that I could no longer synch my Blackberry 9300 Curve address book or calendar with their counterparts on my laptop's Microsoft Outlook 2007 software.  This is an incredibly useful feature for me.  Rather than buy an iPhone, I decided to wait until the Q10 phone and the v.10 software came out, which are around the time corner now. Can anyone authoritatively tell me whether or not buying this new phone and installing the new software will resolve my problem? Thank you.

    At this time with the latest update of the Blackberry Link software it is possible to sync Outlook back to the Z10. The sync going to Outlook is supposed to come in another update from what I have been told.
    There are work arounds to get the contacts between Outlook and the phone in both directions. This can be done using Hotmail ( http://www.outlook.com   or   http://www.hotmail.com ) with the sync option. A software called Outlook Connector is required to make this work with Outlook and Hotmail sync. This software can be downloaded from Microsoft. The Z10 can be synced with Hotmail. I tried this, and it works well.
    Take note in Outlook the Hotmail contacts list will appear in its own sub folder inside of the Contacts Option area.  I have used this feature with Outlook 2010 only. I did not try it with earlier versions, but I think it should work. Outlooks is updated with the Send/Recieve action.
    Syncing with Hotmail has its advantages. This allows remote PC access to the Contacts list through Hotmail. Corrections can be made in Hotmail and they should reflect in the phone. Corrections made in the phone should reflect in Hotmail. When setting up Hotmail in the phone, the sync feature must be allowed.

  • Outlook Social Connector 2013 not working for linkedin

    Hi
    Outlook Social Connector 2013 is not able to connect to linkedin
    When using Social Network Accounts in Outlook 2013, tick linkedin, the entry of username/password immediately after hitting connect is showing "invalid username or password".
    Appears like it never really checked with the account.
    And
    No, there's in no strange signs/keys used in the password
    Yes, it's working from web entry
    Yes, it's working when using Windows Mail (win 8) linking it to my Hotmail account from same PC
    No, the Antivirus is not the issue, same with or without
    Yes, only one profile is used in Outlook 2013
    Yes, have tried to re-installed Office 2013
    Yes, my linked in profile is set to allow 3rd party applications to connect
    Yes I have tried another social network (Facebook) at this one is working
    And finally, yes I have looked at other treads in outlook forum, here, and "google" around for a day.
    Conclusion, the outlook 2013 addin is in some degree working, i'm very far from the only one with the issue, and no-one seems to have an idea what's really blocking for accessing the linkedin social networks from Outlook 2013, and a solution other than standard
    suggestions to try to re-install and set it up from scratch again. Not working...tried that.
    Any suggestions / ideas ?

  • My Iphone is deleting messages from my inbox once I open them on my laptop in microsoft outlook. How do I stop this?

    Im not a techno person at all... so Im really struggling with my iphone at the moment. I have two mail inboxes, one for my hotmail and one for my work email. The hotmail one works fine. The other is a pain in the butt. Once I receive an email in the work inbox on my iphone I can see it, but the second I go to my laptop and open it in microsoft outlook it gets deleted from my iphone inbox.
    Anyone know how to fix this so it stays on my phone?

    Your other account has to be changed to an IMAP type, like Hotmail.  POP type accounts are not designed for multiple clients.

  • Gentlemen, i am not able to sync all my contacts on my iphone to Microsoft outlook. i have 396 contacts on my iphone and only 385 in my outlook. can you please help?

    gentlemen, i am not able to sync all my contacts on my iphone to Microsoft outlook. i have 396 contacts on my iphone and only 385 in my outlook. can you please help?

    Hi Kinnera2740,
    On the old phone go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.  Are there any email accounts listed here?  Such as Google, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc?
    If so, tap on each of them and check the 'Contacts' option.  If it is turned on, this means that contact syncing is enabled for that account and that your contacts may already be synced to that mail account.
    Also check Settings > iCloud and look for the 'Contacts' option.  Is it enabled?  If so, then it is possible that some contacts could be synced to your iCloud account as well.  You can check to see which contacts are in which account by going to the Contacts app on your old phone and pressing the 'Groups' button in the top left corner.  You may see several groups here.  Uncheck all groups and then check each group one at a time to check and see how many contacts are synced to each account.  You may need to add the same mail accounts to your new phone and enable contact syncing to have the contacts from the mail servers sync down to the new phone.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
