Disabling Specific Options in Outlook 2010 through Group Policy?

Use the Office 2010 Administrative Templates. The "Outlook" one (outlk14.admx) contains GPP's for diabling the "Mobile" options.

The options will probably still show in the outlook options panel, but the GPO will disable the underlying functionality.


I finally found a specific solution for this problem and wanted to post it in case anybody else runs across this in the future. Inside the Office 2010 template in GPO Management there is an option to "prevent adding the Outlook Mobile Service".

This option was located at:

User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Microsoft Outlook 2010 -> Miscellaneous -> Prevent MAPI services from being added

In this specific option I added MSOMS as the service to disable.

Finally, in the Outlook options screen the Mobile options I was looking to disable now appear grayed out.
