Outlook 2010: Prevent Users from Forwarding Email Messages

December 31, 2010

There may be instances when you share secured information through your email and would like to ensure that the receiver of the message does not have the option to print, forward, or copy the contents of the message. In such situations, you can set email permissions in Outlook to restrict other users from misusing the contents of the email. In order to set such permissions, you need to have the Windows Rights Management Services (RMS) Client Pack 2 (SP2) or a later version installed. Computers running Windows 7 or Windows Vista will have the client installed by default. However computers running on Windows XP must first install it before starting the configuration. In this Outlook 2010 tutorial, you will learn how to prevent users from forwarding email messages sent to them.

How to Install the Windows Rights Management Services (RMS) Client in Windows XP

1. Click the Start button and on the Start menu select Control Panel.

2. Click Add or Remove Programs, and then click Add or Remove Programs.

3. Click Add New Programs and from the program list select Windows Rights Management Services Client.
