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

Type: REG_DWORD

Data: Specifies that CA DLP should prevent unexpanded PDLs from being saved as email recipients and causing control triggers to activate inadvertently.

MaxNumExpandedRecipients

Type: REG_DWORD

Data: Specifies the limit of the maximum number of recipients extracted from distribution lists in a single email.

OutlookMonitorIntervalInSeconds

Type: REG_DWORD

Data: Specifies how often CA DLP verifies whether the Outlook client agent is disabled in the current session. (A security feature in Outlook can automatically disable certain add-ins). Set this option to 0 to disable monitoring. Specifically, it checks the registry for the wgnemol.dll name and path.

Default: 5 seconds

OutlookRepairDisabledExtension

Type: REG_DWORD

Data: Specifies whether CA DLP should re‑enable the Outlook client agent if it is found to be disabled. If this registry value is set to a non-zero value and the Outlook client agent is found to be disabled, CA DLP re-enables the client agent and writes a Windows application log entry to that effect.

Default: 0 (do not re-enable)

The transform creates the DWORD registry values in the following registry key on the machine hosting the Outlook client agent:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ComputerAssociates\CA DLP
   \CurrentVersion\EMail

Or for 32bit Outlook client running on a 64bit OS under the registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WOW6432Node\ComputerAssociates\CA DLP
   \CurrentVersion\EMail

Follow these steps:

  1. Find the EmailClientOptions.vbs script in the \Support folder of your CA DLP distribution media.
  2. Run the script.

    Note: For command syntax details, see the Support Tools section. You can configure any or all of the registry values described above.

    It creates the EmailClientOptions_Client.mst (or EmailClientOptions_Client_x64.mst) transform.

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