I have an add-in that I need to disable across my domain. I know how to go to
Tools, Options, etc... I need to do this on around 800 computers though.

Is there anyone that can point me in the right direction to turn off an
add-in (not COM) through the registry?
 
I haven't tested it, but I think you'd need to make two registry changes and
delete the Extend.dat file on the user.

Registry Change #1: In
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\Client\Extensions, delete the
registry value for that particular add-in, e.g. Outlook Connector Extensions

Registry Change #2: Add this value:

Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\Client\Extensions

Value name: Outlook Setup Extension

Value type: REG_SZ

Value: 4.0;Outxxx.dll;7;000000000000000;0000000000;OutXXX


If the Extend.dat file is missing and the Outlook Setup Extension value is
present, as above, then Outlook will read the information from the
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\Client\Extensions key at startup and
rebuild the Extend.dat file.

Let me know if that works!
 
Actually, it looks like step 1 will take care of it by itself. I deleted the
extension's key and it works just ducky now. Big thanks on this. That add-in
was messing with a bunch of my systems trying to view public folders
attachments.

Now I'm off to build a Unicenter package and send it out.
 
Hi, I have an error message "C:\Documents and Settings\Chris W\Application
Data\Microsoft\Addins\C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office11\SBCMSYNC.DLL" is
not a valid Office Add-in when I open Outlook on my new PC and new Office
suite. Transferred settings from my old PC with the Files and Settings
Wizard. How can I sort this?
