When you're using a Citrix or Remote Desktop Server, installing Smartlockr requires some additional settings because Smartlockr will be enabled for all users straight away and that might not be the way to go.
When you install Smartlockr (our all-user installer) some registry changes will be made by our installer to make sure that everyone on a computer can use Smartlockr.
In this article we'll explain where these settings are and where you can put them with a GPO so it enables you to control who can actually use Smartlockr and who can't.
Step 1:
During the installation of Smartlockr our software will create folders and keys in the follow locations of the registry:
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\SmartLockr.AddinModule
•HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\SmartLockr.AddinModule
Please remove these two folders and it's contents.
Step 2:
Now you can add the registry settings again but in a different location of the registry. First the keys were in the HKLM folder which means it's for all users on a computer/server. Now you can create a GPO that adds them in the HKCU so Smartlockr will only be available for specific users. The keys themselves are as follows:
Registry key 1:
Value name: LoadBehavior
Value type: REG_DWORD
Value data: 3
Base: decimal
Location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\SmartLockr.AddinModule
Registry key 2:
Value name: LoadBehavior
Value type: REG_DWORD
Value data: 3
Base: decimal
Location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\SmartLockr.AddinModule
Below you can find a screenshot so you can see how one of the settings will look:
That's it and this should give you control on who can actually use Smartlockr.
