@yba02: "Hi,
Running Exchange Server 2003 SP2.
Is there a way to define a policy on the exchange server so that the 
delivery receipt is sent without user consent.  For that matter, that policy 
should override the client's configuration for that option.
Regards
Yahya"
    @yba02: "Hi,
Thanks for the technical feedback and on the personal feedback, I sympathise 
with you.  The tip is great but it is a client side thing.  Is there a way to 
take this to the server side (GP for instance) so that i do not need to hop 
from client to client?
Thanks
Yahya"
    @yba02: "Hi,
Sorry I got confused.
What I found in the link is that the sender's client asks for the receipt.
What I was asking for, however, is that the receipient's client sends a read 
receipt unwillingly, i.e. without asking the user and/or without the user 
knowledge if necessary.

    @DaveMills: "I am not sure but Outlook does ask if you want to be asked the question again.
This should indicate a registry setting that can be changed by the client. Try
using RegMon to see what setting gets changed. Then once you know the value it
is easy to create an ADM file to set that registry value. 
I have never ticked the box in outlook so I do not have any idea if it will stop
the questing with receipt being sent of not being sent. 
It will be very unreliable though as most users still have the default action of
marking emails read when the selection changes so it does not indicate the
message was read by the user just by outlook.

    @yba02: "Hi,
Outlook has 3 options for sending read receipts:
1 - send without asking me.
2 - do not bellbrenda@example.net.
3 - ask me each time.
I used RegMon and found the changing keys.  Now let me imagine this scenario:
I can create a registry entry file that I put on the DC and command it to 
run it on all PCs asking authentication to the AD first thing in the morning. 
 If this is workable, how to command the DC to run that file on client PCs?

You could do it with a startup script (HKLM) or logon script if the key is HKCU
Or you can write a custom ADM file and directly change the registry via group
policy. A simple example for this is
<url>
Note it is not a policy setting so it tatoos the registry

    @yba02: "Hi,
Thanks for the tip.
I'm short on three things here:
(note: the key is HKCU)
1 - The ValueON ValueOFF of the ADM file seems to work on two values only.  
In my case, I have three different values.  Any clue on how to tacle more 
than 2 options please?
2 - Will the policy effect all domain PCs once enabled, or it will be the 
next time a user logs on.
3 - If I set is as a logon script, will it run each time the user logs in or 
it will be first time only?

Find a setting in an MS adm file that has more than 2 values and then open the
adm in notepad and see how it is done.
If it is HKCU it affects the current user not the PC but then it is the user
that is sending the read receipt. This is good as it means you apply the GPO to
the users you want to control whatever PC they use.
Every time they log on. Unless you take steps to code it not to by for example
inserting a "it had been done" flag in the registry. The GPO will only fire if
it is changes or you explicitly set it to always be applied.
