By default, the DLP Add-in for Outlook should be enabled and running after enabling Data Loss Prevention and configuring DLP policies on the agent machine. If it is not enabled and the issue persists after verifying the Data Loss Prevention on the Agent side, proceed with the troubleshooting steps below:
- Copy the code below box into Notepad, and save it as 'DLPAddin.reg'. The file is also available for download here: DLPAddin.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\TmDlpExAddin.Connect]
"FriendlyName"="TrendMicro DLP Addin for Outlook"
"LoadBehavior"=dword:00000003
- Import/Manually add the registry key.
- Ensure the registry key is present in RegEdit.
- Right-click on TmDlpExAddin.Connect folder.
- Select Permissions...
- Click on Advanced.
- Remove "SYSTEM" from Permission Entries.
May need to disable inheritance. In that case, it is recommended that explicit permissions be granted rather than removing all permissions.
- Click Save.
- Restart the system and see if the registry key changed again.
In some cases, adding the key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE worked, whereas adding in HKEY_CURRENT_USER did not.
