Configure Outlook Client Agent: EmailClientOptions.mst

For command line, Group Policy or SMS installations, the EmailClientOptions.mst transform can create the following registry values to control the behavior of the Outlook client agent, typically in order to alleviate e‑mail processing delays:

• NeverPutPDLsInRecipientsList

  This value can prevent unexpanded PDLs from being saved as email recipients and causing control triggers to activate inadvertently.

• MaxNumExpandedRecipients

  This value can limit the maximum number of recipients extracted from distribution lists in a single email.

• OutlookMonitorIntervalInSeconds

  While CA DLP is running, this value determines how often it checks whether the Outlook client agent is disabled in the current session. (A security feature in Outlook can automatically disable certain add-ins).

• OutlookRepairDisabledExtension

  This value can re‑enable the Outlook client agent if it is found to be disabled.

These registry values are created in the following registry key on the machine hosting the Outlook client agent:

HKLM\Software\ComputerAssociates\CA DLP\CurrentVersion\EMail key.

On a machine running 64-bit Windows operating system, these registry values are added to the 32-bit registry if Outlook is 32-bit, and to the 64-bit registry if Outlook is 64-bit.

To create the necessary transform

1. Find this script in the \support folder:

   EmailClientOptions.vbs
   

2. When you run the script, it creates the transform, EmailClientOptions.mst.

   Note: For command syntax details, see the Support Utililties section in the CA DLP Release Notes. You can configure any or all of the registry values described above.

3. Copy the transform into the folder containing your administrative installation source image.
