Using Office 2013 group policy template to define Trusted Locations and Template Locations doesn't work

User Configuration/Policies/Administrative Templates
- Using Office 2013 group policy template to define Trusted Locations and Template Locations doesn't work
Microsoft Word 2013/Word Options/Security/Trust Center/Trusted Locations
- Allow Trusted Locations on the network: 
Enabled 
- Trusted Location #1: 
Enabled 
Path:  //server/sharedfoldername   [Edit:  Path:
\\server\sharedfoldername]
Date: June 10, 2013
Description: Trusted Location
Allow sub folders: Enabled
The policy appears to apply to the client correctly by adding the following registry key and values:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\15.0\word\security\trusted locations\location1
allowsubfolders: 1
date: June 10, 2013
Description: Trusted Location
Path:  //server/sharedfoldername  [Edit: Path: 
\\server\sharedfoldername]
However, when you open Word Options/Trust Centre/Trust Centre Settings…/Trusted Locations
There are no trusted locations listed under ‘Policy Locations’
I have tried setting similar settings for setting the Shared Templates folder location and just like the trusted locations policy, the registry keys are created properly in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies however word doesn’t
seem to recognize these either.
This used to work flawlessly using the administrative templates for Word 2007 and 2010. Has anyone been able to get these policies to apply successfully, or know why office doesn’t recognize these settings from the Policies registry
Key?

This would have been an easy solution to the issue.  Unfortunately it isn't the problem.  This question was originally posted on another Microsoft site and
was transferred here and when it was transferred the path's changed from the original post: 
\\server\sharedfodlername to //server/sharedfoldername.  (I will edit the question to show up as it did in the original post) Not sure how that happened.  This
is still an issue that I haven't been able to get working correctly.
As it turns out the 'New from Template' interface Word 2013 has developed is very bulky with large thumbnails and is not very customizable nor practical for an office
that has a large number of templates.   Because I am unsatisfied with the display and performance of the 'New' template chooser I sought after a solution to change the way word creates a document from a template in another thread: 
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-word/how-can-you-change-the-display-of-templates-in/d49194b9-a6b4-4768-8502-7d7b50e9dd65 working through this issue with Jay we were able to develop
some VB script with handles a very large number of templates in a list view and it works much faster than the built-in Word interface.  The above thread is how I've worked around trying to define a shared template location and I am quite happy with it.

  • Office 2013 Group Policy Deployment

    Hello,
    I'm trying to deploy Microsoft Office 2013 Professional Plus using Group Policy. I'm trying to use these directions: 
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff602181(v=office.15).aspx
    Throughout the directions, they give instructions, then follow it up by saying what to do if you're using a Windows Installer-based Office. This is probably a dumb question, but I'm confused on whether or not I'm using a Windows Installed-based Office. The
    setup program is a .exe file, but there are multiple .msi files in the folders.

    The setup program is a .exe file, but there are multiple .msi files in the folders.
    If you have setup.exe and various other .msi files, this confirms that you are using the Windows Installer-based Office fileset.
    (actually, Office2013ProfessionalPlus is *only* available in this .msi form)(other forms are available for other products e.g. Office365ProPlus)
    The documentation draws the distinction, mainly because the documentation is partially shared across different products which can come in different forms)

  • I've used a terminal command to change default send keyboard shortcut and now it doesn't work at all!

    My friend provided me with a Terminal command allow me to use Cmd+Enter to send an email (muscle memory from Outlook, hard to forget!)
    Command was:
    defaults write com.apple.mail NSUserKeyEquivalents -dict-add "Send" "@\\U21a9"
    Did that, and it didn't add the Cmd+Enter instruction but removed the Cmd+Shift+D instruction, so I had NO keyboard shortcut. Then Cmd+Enter started working. For a while. Now I'm back to getting the irritating error bleep sound, and having no functional keyboard shortcut for sending mail.
    Does anybody have any advice?

    Try
    defaults delete com.apple.mail NSUserKeyEquivalents
    Then, relaunch Mail.

  • Office 2013 group policies - not working

    I'm using Office 2013 Pro Plus SP1 (volume license) on a Windows 7 Pro machine [both are 32 bit].   While I have Server 2003, it's configured to work with Windows 7 and Office 2013 Group Policy templates.  I use RSAT on a Win 7 computer to
    create/manage the Group Policies.
    Since we're not using Office 365, I'm trying to block some of those features, as well as disabling the Office Start screens.
    Thinking that SP1 might be the problem, I downloaded the group policy templates for SP1 and copied them to the server.
    If I create a policy (Office_2013_settings), with a few settings, like "Block singing into Office".  In Group Policy, I disabled the Computer Configuration, leaving the User Configuration enabled.  If I force group policy on the target
    computer and look at RSOP, I see the computer configuration settings disabled, but nothing for the user configuration, although it's enabled in the policy. 
    If I put a junk policy entry on the computer configuration and enable both policies on the backend, force group policy on the computer, and look at RSOP, under computer configuration, I see the Office_2013_settings policy, but the policy still doesn't appear
    in the user configuration.  If I scroll to the bottom of the file, where I can see other Administrative templates and their settings, my Office_2013_settings aren't visible.

    I have created a group policy with a few settings, and applied to my own computer. It seems to be very nice to me. Please first check the apply status on the client site based on the GPSVC.log
    Thinking the issue might be on the way how you create/manage the Group Policies on Windows Server side. Please check the model of how you deploy your group policy, on a domain or OU level?  Loopback Merge or Replace? This might affect whether the user
    would receive all settings from GPO applied to User or Computer. This article might be useful to you:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2013/02/08/circle-back-to-loopback.aspx
    This might be an issue on Windows server side, you may need to post your question to below forum to get more suggestions:

  • Office 2013 apps showing templates error after Sysprepping Windows 7 with CopyProfile setting

    Here is my setup:
    I installed Windows 7 Professional.
    I entered Audit Mode (which automatically logged me in as the built-in Administrator user) and installed the entire Office 2013 Professional Plus suite.
    In Audit Mode, I opened Word 2013 to get through the "new user" prompts, such as the opening movie that plays in all Office 2013 programs. I did this to ensure that any new users who log into the computer would not need to sit through these "new
    user" prompts.  I also rearmed Office 2013.
    I ran Sysprep with the CopyProfile setting in the Unattend.xml file, with the /generalize switch, and the /oobe switch. The CopyProfile setting copies settings from the built-in Administrator account to any new user who logs into the system.
    Both Windows and Office were successfully activated using KMS.
    Everything seemed to work, but there is one problem: when any user -- all of which are standard users rather than administrator users -- logs into Windows and runs any Office 2013 program that has templates (such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint), the templates
    on the Start page do not appear. In their place, the following error message appears on the Start page where the templates would normally have been listed:
    "Sorry, we had trouble getting the featured templates and can't show them right now."
    Below the error message is a link that reads “Work Offline.” If you click the “Work Offline” link, the error message disappears and the templates appear as they should.  However, the error message re-occurs when the application is closed and re-opened.
    If I login as the built-in Administrator account (i.e., the account I used to modify the default profile), this problem does not occur at all when using Office 2013 programs.
    Any ideas?

    "logs into Windows and runs any Office 2013 program that has templates (such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint), the templates on the Start page do not appear. In their place, the following error message appears on the Start page where the templates would normally
    have been listed:
    "Sorry, we had trouble getting the featured templates and can't show them right now." "
    Is there any chance to let you skip the Start page for Office application? I mean that try to open Office application (such Word)and go to File > Options > Untick the option "Show the Start screen when this application starts". Try to re-launch
    the application again to check if the error still pop-up. If yes, I'm afraid the default build-in template is corrupted somehow and we need to copy a healthy one from another computer or totally rename normal.dotm documents from %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\template.
    Afte that, please check if the issue still persists.

  • Sql Server Native Client and Office 2013 Professional Plus template

    Does the Office 2013 Professional Plus template include sql server native client 10.0? 
    This is in response to an earlier question: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/azure/en-US/70e91af7-586a-41ca-994e-b8378928847e/connecting-access-2013-using-preview-image-to-azure-sql-database?forum=AzureRemoteApp
    Using the Office 365 trial subscription image - the sql server native client 10.0 is not included in this image. 
    The reason for the question is that I'd like to link an MS Access database front end to SQL Azure and it is quite helpful to have the sql server native client 10.0. 
    Thanks, 
    Dave 

    Hi Dave,
    Unfortunately the Office 365 ProPlus (Subscription required) (Uploaded on 11/26/2014) image template
    does not include the SQL Server Native Client.
    As of now you would need to
    create a custom image template with the required software and upload it.
    I just created one a couple of days ago for a customer that had what you are requesting plus a few extras.  In their case they have a custom application that they needed to connect to SQL Server on an IaaS VM so I built the custom
    image to accommodate that plus other requirements.

  • Deploying office through group policy

    Hi people,
    English is not my mother language so i'll hope you'll understand me.
    I have a school project. Deploying office through group policy worked. But now my teacher has given me a command to give all OU's a different OFFICE packet when they logged in. So.. it will change the current installation when a different user from a different
    OU logged in. I'm out of options. Please can anybody help me:(:(

    No you don't misunderstand :p  My teacher first did it wit Office 2003 and know i must do it in office2010.. and i also thought it was a stupid idea.. But who am i... i have not much knowledge in IT.. i'm still learning.
    But i have 2 options
    To confince him that this is not a good idea... (and i dont know with wich argument)
    or find a way to do this... 
    Hmm, so, I think that kind of crazy was possible with very old versions of Office, which could be "advertised" via GPO to achieve per-user scenarios, but Office2007 and later versions, don't provide such different per-user options as part of setup.
    Office2007 and later, uses the MSPfile etc for customization, and that is per-machine (common to all users of that machine).
    You might be able to achieve something similar, by using AppLocker (e.g. AppLocker rules which deny excel.exe to be executed by GRP_Students).
    But this doesn't address the matter nicely, because the Students can see the Excel shortcut/icon/program, but are forbidden to execute it.

  • Group policy template for Novell Client for Windows 7

    Does anyone know if there is a group policy template for the Novell Client for Windows 7? I find it really hard to believe that Novell has not yet released one, but I cannot find one anywhere. We use ZCM 11.2, and I really need to be able to send out settings for the client via a group policy.
    By the way, I am also posting this on the Novell Client forum, but since this is also a ZCM thing, I am hoping I might get some feedback here.

  • Cannot OpenDatabase (MSAccess mdb file) using VB6 code on windows8 64 bit machine using office 2013.

    I have a "mdb" file which is created long back in MSAccess 97 or 2000. I am using Office 2013.
    When I tried to open the mdb file from my application using below code written in VB6, It works fine in Windows 7 64 bit machine but It is not working in Windows 8 64 bit machine.
    If I use office 2010 again same code works fine in both Windows 7 and 8 64 bit machines.
    Set gWork = DBEngine.CreateWorkspace("", "admin", "", dbUseJet)
    Set gCache = gWork.OpenDatabase(DataPath & fFilePath & "\connec00.mdb")
    I have a referenced "Microsoft DAO 3.51 Object Library" for the code.
    I tried changing it to "Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library" also but still the problem is not resolved.
    Can anyone please help me in figuring this out ??

    Dear Bruce,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Code was written in VB6. My VB6 application will try to open a "connec00.mdb" file and will read the data in it for displaying in the application.
    For opening the database by the application the code was written like below
    On Error GoTo Herr
    Set gWork = DBEngine.CreateWorkspace("", "admin", "", dbUseJet)
    FLog.Addlog "File exists: Connecting to database..."
    Set gCache = gWork.OpenDatabase(DataPath & fFilePath & "\connec00.mdb")
    Herr:
    FLog.Addlog "Error(Class_Initialize - DataConnector): " + Err.Description + " in " + Err.Source + Chr(10) + Chr(13) + "Init: Going on execution..."
    If I manually open the "mdb" file both in windows 7 64 bit and windows 8 64 bit using MSAccess 2013, I will get  the error
    "cannot open a database created with previous version of your application".
    On Windows 7 64 bit
    Through my VB6 code the mdb file is opened (does not launch MSAccess) by my application and reading is done perfectly which inturns helps the application to display the data in the mdb file. (even though manually if I cannot open)
    On Windows 8 64 bit
    Through my VB6 code the mdb file is not able to open the database by my application.
    It is going to Herr: part when it tries comes to that "OpenDatabase" step and it prints nothing in the log (Err.Description )also.
    (This is seen only for Windows 8 64 bit) . In Windows 7 64 bit Herr part does not even hit.
    Configuration wise I have checked both are same. Please let me know in case of furthur clarification or anything if I miss..
    Thanks for your co-operation.

  • Is there a way to give a local user permission to add a local user using the local group policy editor?

    I need to find a way to have the local administrator of a Windows Server 2012 system grant a local user (non-administrator) the ability to add a user for the machine using the local group policy editor. The machine is not part of any Active Directory environment,
    this is strictly on the one machine.  In my situation it is not an option to just make the user an administrator. The idea is to give someone the right to add a user and have no other such administrative rights. I need to accomplish this using the
    Local Group Policy editor or the Group Policy Management Console if it is possible to do this outside of an active directory environment. This is not an assignment to learn how to use these tools and I am not even sure if it would even be possible though I
    need to either find a way or find proof that it is not possible using these applications.

    Hi,
    Sorry for the delay reply.
    So did you want to non-admin user have the ability to add another user?
    As far as i know, we cannot add the user if we have no local admin permission, we will receive the error"Access denied".

  • Group Policy to clear down MRU lists and to clear or to prevent user login details for programs such as Remote Desktop from being recorded

    Hi there,
    Please can anyone instruct me on how to set up Group Policy to clear down MRU lists and to clear or to prevent user login details for programs such as Remote Desktop from being recorded. Your help would be much appreciated.
    Kind regards,
    RocknRollTim
    P.S. I was redirected by a forum user off the Microsoft Community forum.

    Hi RocknRollTim,
    Agree with Jason. Using a script will be a better option.
    Just addition, for history of RDP Connections, please open Registry Editor and follow the path:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Default. Please check if find MRU registry items where the name (or the IP address) of the terminal server is kept in.
    Please also follow the path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Servers. It contains
    the list of all RDC (remote desktop client) connections that have ever been established from this computer.
    When expand Server folder and select a node, you will see the UsernameHint key that show the name of the user connected by rdp.
    Please back up registry items to avoid unexpected issues before any operation.
    If any update, please feel free to let us know.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
    Justin Gu
    Thank you for responding back Justin Gu and I agree with both you and Jason Miller that a script can easily achieve this task. Thank you all for your help.
    Many thanks,
