Requirements
- You need to have a Pronestor Planner user.
- You need to know your outlook version. This guide can help with that: How to see your Outlook version
- Note, the Outlook version on a Mac is different than the Outlook version on a Windows. We do not have an add-in for the locally installed Outlook version on a Mac
- Your Pronestor administrator has to have enabled the Outlook installationfiles. See this guide on How-to-enable-the-installationfile-available-for-users
- The Pronestor Outlook Add-in is by default configured to auto-update when new versions are available.
- This option requires the specific folder "%programfiles%\proNestor\Outlook add-in for Pronestor" to be configured with full control permissions on NTFS.
- By default Pronestor sets this permissions upon installation.
- If you do not want to allow the add-in to auto update - we recommend removing this permission.
- You can do this via File Explorer or by using the attached Powershell script attached to this article
Please note that when disabling the auto update of the add-in, it is required that the add-in is updated when the Planner solution is updated. This can be done using SCCM or similar. The add-in version must always follow the Planner version as a version mismatch could result in corrupted data.
Please see attached powershell script for an example on how to set permissions
