1.10.2 Ensure 'Turn Off Outlook Social Connector' is set to Enabled

Information

This policy setting allows you to turn off the Outlook Social Connector.

If you enable this policy setting, the Outlook Social Connector is turned off.

If you disable or you do not configure this policy setting, the Outlook Social Connector is turned on. The recommended state for this setting is: Enabled

Rationale:

Disabling or not configuring this setting allows the Outlook Social Connector to remain which means that data may be synchronized between Outlook and the users' social networks.

Solution

To implement the recommended configuration state, set the following Group Policy setting to Enabled.

User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Outlook 2013\Outlook Social Connector\Turn Off Outlook Social Connector

Impact:

Enabling this setting will disable the Outlook Social Connector, preventing users from synchronizing any data in Outlook with their social networks.
