Hello Experts,<br />
<br />
I have been managing group policy for years. &nbsp;I have imported successfully the 2016 office admx templates. &nbsp;They do not seem to contain what I need to be able to do globally.<br />
<br />
Office 365 is starting up by default in all programs with protected view on and also some of the file block settings are on. &nbsp;This is also profile specific. &nbsp;It is blocking files from our network mapped drives. &nbsp;Yes I have also added our drives as safe locations. &nbsp;I need to find that setting as well.<br />
<br />
They are profile specific so I can only change them if I log in as that person.<br />
<br />
Is there a way I can centrally manage these settings?<br />
<br />
Thank you,<br />
<br />

Hello Experts,

I have been managing group policy for years.  I have imported successfully the 2016 office admx templates.  They do not seem to contain what I need to be able to do globally.

Office 365 is starting up by default in all programs with protected view on and also some of the file block settings are on.  This is also profile specific.  It is blocking files from our network mapped drives.  Yes I have also added our drives as safe locations.  I need to find that setting as well.

Is there a way I can centrally manage these settings?

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Active Directory

IT Administration is the processes and best practices for programming and development, and incorporates methodologies for managing activities and projects. Common methodologies include waterfall, prototyping, iterative and incremental development, spiral development, rapid application development, extreme programming and various types of agile methodology.
