Outlook Programmatic Access and GPO on replace mode
We can´t enable the options for Programmatic Access on Outlook 2016.
Tried all the registry changes via GPO and opened Outlook as admin but the options still stay grayed out.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWAR
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
DWORD: PromptOOMSend
Value: 2
DWORD: AdminSecurityMode
Value: 3
DWORD: promptoomaddressinformatio
Value: 2
DWORD: promptoomaddressbookaccess
Value: 2
I have seen that GPO is on "replace mode" and read that HKEY_CURRENT_USER -settings are ignored on the "replace mode".
Is that true and how does it effect on this ?
Is the whole GPO created on wrong way? I have never seen that before.

Hi there! :)
Please try this .reg file that I have attached. What it is meant to do it to configure Outlook is to use Group Policy Security settings and set the Guard Behavior to Automatically approve for each prompt. Afterwards, try restarting your computer and run Outlook as an Administrator again.

Thank you,
will try this. But please see the attachment on this ticket. Would "replace mode" ignore all the current user settings?

Replace mode will ignore all the current user settings. However, this is not recommended... To me, it's the same as having a high risk of more problems when you need to update it again. It has happened to me before; using "Replace Mode" and staying that way until an update. I don't know if it was just me but I still don't recommend it especially since yours is co-managed using GPO.
Thank you for your help!
Last question, could you explain why there is high risk of more problem when GPO needed to be updated again?

It's because the updates may directly affect some of the GPOs set. For example,if the update specifies that a certain policy is now restricted or changed, the GPO might find compatibility issues. This is evident when you have to share files and there are updates specifying drastic changes to file permissions users/admins can set.
