Disable "Ignore" Conversations in Outlook 2010

[esaltzman]

Is there a policy that will disable the ability for users to "Ignore" conversations in Outlook 2010, our a policy that will disable the use of Conversation View as a whole?

Hi esaltzman... Seeing as a bunch of people have looked, but no one has responded... I'll take a stab. First off, you'll have to forgive me since I'm actually not an Outlook user. My personal and work e-mail are both web-based, so I don't use Outlook on a regular basis... but, I have supported both it and Exchange in the past. That said, Microsoft has ADM/ADMX templates available for Microsoft Office that will allow you to use Group Policy to control certain settings.

If this is a setting you can configure manually in Outlook, there is a very good chance that the ADMX template from Microsoft will include the setting.

trekker,
Thanks for the reply. In the meantime i found this article that explains how to disable Conversation View entirely. This is what im going to do at some point.

I found a bit of a glitch. WHile the policy i mentioned above removes the Conversation View from the View tab, there is still an Ignore option in the Delete group of the Home tab. Does anyone know if a group policy will disable/grey out the ability to Ignore conversations in this tab.
Thanks.
