Subject: "content protection enabled"

I am sometimes getting events on outlook that just show "content protection enabled."
The events look fine in both Google Cal and on my Blackberry.
Any ideas what may cause this?
Thanks, Sean


Skurfur:

If you cannot turn off Content Protection because of the security policy, test if giving Google Sync more access works.

Give Google Sync access to Company Network:
Options >> Security Options >> Application Permissions >> Google Sync >> push the BB button >> Edit Permissions >> Connections >> Company Network >> Allow.

I also allowed access to the Carrier Internet because it made sense to me. By the name, Carrier Internet, sounds like Google Sync will need this access the internet. But if was syncing before this, I guess it was working.

My guess to why the Content Protection is appearing is because the access is set to "Prompt" by default and when Google Sync is set to sync automatically there is nobody at the BB keyboard to say 'yes' or 'no'. When Google Sync tries to sync, it defaults to 'no' and limited data (i.e. the non-content protected data) is sent to Google Sync. Limited data for Outlook might be similar to what you have in a public calendar of Google Calendar. In Outlook, you can see the times a cowork is busy / free, but not the details. But who knows, I am black box testing and cannot apply the mantra "Use the source Luke."

Note, I am not trying to steal content. I joined the group, but could not post as because the post was closed. I did not forward to the Group Mail because I could not find the Group Mail address in the 'About Group' page.

Please post feedback if it works for you.

Friend Rejections

So I'm still learning my online etiquette. I shouldn't invite myself to friends of friends even if we have common interests. Or if I do, I face the chance of rejection. Like the past couple weeks, I wanted to get to know more people in an area that I'm about to move, so I sent out some friend requests on myspace. But I should just go the old fashion way. If they're normal individuals, I should get to know them in person, and then request a friendship online. I guess I'm not used to the blatant rejection. In the real world, people don't out right reject your request for a friendship.

In the real world, a friend rejection is usually more tactful... a series subtle hints of rejection that build up over time. You might not even realize you're being rejected. Like cooking a frog. Turn the heat up gradually and the frog won't know it's being cooked. But in the myspace world, it's a clear cut answer. "Deny!" That's a splash of hot, scalding water to the ego. Oh well, I don't want a big ego anyways and I say, if I didn't have their friendship in the first place, what's to loose? If I try, I may gain a friend. If I don't try, I know I won't gain a friend.

What about deleting friends? Never has it been so clear when you offend someone. With the swift click of a mouse button, poof! They've eliminated you from their head count of friends. Ah, I must admit, I've used the power once before. A couple disrespectful comments and that was it for that friendship. I guess I should have written a warning when the first disrespectful comment came, and also an explanation when the next one came, but I didn't.

But overall, I'm afraid of the new world of virtual friendship and feel less cool/secure on myspace. I need to read a book on myspace etiquette. It might help me make new friends, but it still won't help the queasy feeling I get after browsing through so many profiles.
