Hello, 

I am attempting to disable 2 settings in outlook for mac Office 365 New look 16.77.1 

the 2 settings are 

Disable "Encrypt-Only"

Prevent users from applying the Encrypt-Only option to emails when using Microsoft 365 Message Encryption.

Category Details
Domaincom.microsoft.Outlook
KeyDisableEncryptOnly
Data TypeBoolean
Possible valuesfalse (default)
true
Requires Configuration ProfileNo
Availability16.40
CommentsOnly applies to the new Outlook.

Disable "Do Not Forward"

Prevent users from applying the Do Not Forward option to emails when using Microsoft 365 Message Encryption.

Category Details
Domaincom.microsoft.Outlook
KeyDisableDoNotForward
Data TypeBoolean
Possible valuesfalse (default)
true
Requires Configuration ProfileNo
Availability16.40
CommentsOnly applies to the new Outlook.

 

I ran

sudo defaults write com.microsoft.Outlook DisableEncryptOnly -bool TRUE 

sudo defaults write com.microsoft.Outlook DisableDoNotForward -bool TRUE 

in terminal and nothing the options do not grey out when i compose a new mail and go to drafts...

What am i doing wrong?

My understanding is that the options will only be greyed out if the preferences are set via MDM using a Configuration Profile.

I think you are right it was weird in the documentation it says config profile needed NO but i setup a config profile and tested it and it worked without issue... for anyone that needs to do these settings you can use the external options and there is a com.microsoft.Outlook schema to use that has it... worked perfectly.
