Help please how to run dlls or activex controls on the intranet zone without pop-us without changing IE's intranet zone settings?
-
Good day We have the requirement to invoke a Microsoft Outlook Meeting request from an Intranet web page without having the following (well known) message:
An ActiveX control on this page might be unsafe to interact with other parts of this page. Do you want to allow this interaction?
We want to use the standard installed (client side) Microsoft outlook libraries for that. We do not want to relax the Local intranet Zone in IE by means of the standard resolution method of enabling the “Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe for scripting” Setting.
This is a simplified version of the code, the message is invoked by the highlighted portion
<body>
<form id="frmScheduleAMeeting" runat="server">
<div>
<input id="btnScheduleTheMeeting" type="button" value="Schedule the meeting" onclick="ScheduleTheMeeting()" style="width: 200px" />
</div>
</form><script type="text/javascript"> function ScheduleTheMeeting() { //Reference to Outlook.Application var theApp; //Outlook.mailItem var theMeeting; var theApp = new ActiveXObject("Outlook.Application"); // -- this is where we get the error var objNS = theApp.GetNameSpace('MAPI'); var theMeeting = theApp.CreateItem(1); // value 0 = MailItem, 1 = meeting theMeeting.Subject = "Will this time suit you?"; theMeeting.Location = "Your Office"; theMeeting.Recipients.Add("someone@microsoft.com"); theMeeting.Start = "01/01/2017 10:00:00" theMeeting.End = "01/01/2017 11:00:00" theMeeting.ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = 15; // Number of minutes before the event for the reminder theMeeting.BusyStatus = 1; // Makes it appear bold in the calendar theMeeting.AllDayEvent = false; theMeeting.BusyStatus = 1; theMeeting.Save(); theMeeting.Display(); theMeeting.Recipients.ResolveAll(); theMeeting.Save(); } </script></body>
We have tried to mark it safe in the registry as safe for scripting (7DD95801-9882-11CF-9FA9-00AA006C42C4) and safe for initializing from persisten

An ActiveX control which is not marked as "safe for scripting" cannot be access from script unless you change the security settings. If you did manage to change it so that it was marked as "safe for scripting", then any site on the internet could use it to wreak havoc on your users' email. Try creating your own ActiveX control to perform the specific tasks you need, and locking it down to your intranet site: Per-Site ActiveX Controls (Internet Explorer)[^] Alternatively, see if you can do what you need with an iCalendar file, which would have the added advantage of working in other browsers and calendars too.
