Hello, the problem I am having is having Safe Senders and Safe Recipients imported into Outlook 2007 SP2 from group policy. It simply won't append the list. The environment is the following:
Clients: Windows XP Professional with SP3 installed. MS Office 2007 with SP2 installed.
Server: Windows 2008 SBS with SP2 installed.
What I have setup and tried:
1. Installed the ADMX files correctly on the server and created a GPO with the Outlook settings I need:
- Specify path to Safe Senders and Recipients files. Location: \\SERVER\netlogon\SafeSenders.txt
2. Attached the GPO to the correct OU (users are in the OU).
3. Installed the client side extensions from this link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=3628 on the Windows XP machines.
Even after setting this up the lists still will not import into Outlook 2007. What I have tried and other notes:
- Clients have access to the \\SERVER\netlogon share area. Verified through Windows Explorer.
- Tried forcing group policy update using gpupdate /force No results.
- Tried logoff and reboot combinations on client machines and still no results.
- gpresult returns the GPO is applied (but clearly it's not working).
New to setting this up to Windows XP clients, works on Windows 7 clients flawlessly. Ideas? Solutions? Thanks.
