MS office settings via Zen

Hi Everyone,
How does one manage MS Office settings on the desktop after Office has been installed? I have a custom MSI that I use to install office. That works fine for installation. Now I have to change a few settings that I can't find in the registry. One of them is disabling Smart Quotes. Do I need to use the Resource kit and reinstall or is there an easier, less painful way?
Thanks,
Tom

We have Word 2002 (Office XP).
I used the Maintenance Wizard, which allows changes to office settings. I changed the smart quotes option, applied it to my account, and it did nothing. The office splash screen appeared for a minute, though.
I'll work some more on it and provide feedback.
Tom

I do not see this behavior on my copy of Word 2003.
Personally I have not played with this setting before so I could not say
how common an effect you are seeing.

Set Word 2013 Track Changes settings via Registry edits or Group Policy?

Hi
Would anyone know if there is a way of changing Track Changes settings via registry edits or Group Policy (e.g. changing Simple Markup All Markup)? I've had a look in Group Policy Admin Templates and the Registry but cant see relevant
Thanks!

Hi,
The All Markup/Simple Markup selection is controlled by the RevModeShowSimpleMarkup value within the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Options
The value is 0 (zero) for All Markup or 1 (one) for Simple Markup.
If we close all Word instances, and change the value to 1, then start Word, the All Markup option should be selected.
In addition, some track change settings can also be controlled by the GPO settings in the following location:
Administrative Templates > Microsoft Word 2013 > Word Options > Track changes and compare
If you still need further assistance on this issue, please feel free to let me know.

Outlook 2013 Programmatic Security Settings via Group Policy

I am in a domain environment and have deployed Office E3 via Shared Computer Activation on an RDS.
Outlook functions correctly in online mode.
When 3rd party software (such as ZetaDocs) attempts to access any Outlook feature (such as sending or address books) a prompt message is displayed - "A program is trying to access e-mail address information stored in Outlook...Allow access
for...".
I am able to change the Programmatic security settings to disable the prompt in Outlook by starting it as an Administrator.
I have tried to do this the 'correct' way using the Office 2013 ADMX GPO templates. The created policy is linked to the OU containing the RDS server.
gpresult and rsop shows no sign of the policy being implemented after a gpupdate /force.
Any ideas as to what is going wrong?

Make sure you have the correct adm:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2426686
The feature you probably want to disable is the
RPC/HTTP Connection Flags and set to None or 0. You'll have to test that out.

Setting IIS W3C Extended Log File settings via command line, registry or configuration file

I am currently in need of a way to set IIS W3C Extended Log File settings via command line, registry or configuration file. More specifically the 'Bytes Sent (sc-bytes)' and 'Bytes Received (cs-bytes)' settings that are not enabled by default.
If anyone knows where I can locate these setting (outside of the GUI) for all IIS versions that would be greatly appreciated.

I believe I have found a valid solution. You must have the WebAdministration module loaded. I hope this helps someone.
Use the following syntax to view current W3C fields:
Get-WebConfiguration -filter system.applicationhost/sites/sitedefaults/logfile | select-object -expandProperty logExtFileFlags
Use the following syntax to set W3C fields:
Set-WebConfigurationProperty -Filter System.Applicationhost/Sites/SiteDefaults/logfile -Name LogExtFileFlags -Value "Date,Time,ClientIP,UserName,SiteName,ComputerName,ServerIP,Method,UriStem,UriQuery,HttpStatus,Win32Status,BytesSent,BytesRecv,TimeTaken,ServerPort,UserAgent,Cookie,Referer,ProtocolVersion,Host,HttpSubStatus"}

ActiveX UAC and Proxy Settings via GPO

Hi there,
Wondering if anyone can help.
I am experiencing the following issue when trying to load ActiveX control without UAC prompts for standard users.
I have:
Configured ActiveXInstaller Service and configured allowed sites and settings via GPO.
Configured IE Security settings for the Trusted Zone to Allow ActiveX content to run via GPO.
Configured IE to use per user proxy settings via GPO.
Allowed the domain in our proxy and bypassed authentication for that domain.
Everything seems to be in place but I receive a UAC prompt for the Internet Explorer Add-on Installer UNLESS I either turn off the IE proxy settings or add the domain to the IE proxy exclusions list.
Unfortunately neither of these are options in our environment..
Anything I've missed?
Thanks!

Hi,
Before going further, what's the operating systems you are using? How did you configure
approved Installation Sites for ActiveX Controls and Active X installation policy for sites in Trusted zones settings?
Regarding how to configure these two settings, we can refer to the following article for double check.
Administering the ActiveX Installer Service in Windows 7
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd631688(v=ws.10).aspx
Besides, we can also run command gpresult/h gpreport.html with admin privileges to collect group policy result report to check if the policy settings are applied correctly.
Best regards,
Frank Shen

0x80070005 when trying to push Registry Settings via GPP on 2008R2 Servers

Hello,
I'm trying to push registry settings via Group Policy Preferences to a group of Windows Server 2008 R2 to set dynamic RPC ports range, but I keep getting an error 0x80070005 Access is denied
The Registry Settings I need to push are these
Ports (REG_MULTI_SZ) 49150-49200
PortsInternetAvailable (REG_SZ) Y
UseInternetPorts (REG_SZ) Y
these settings are part of a GPO which gets applied to the computers without problem. Only the registry part fails:
The computer 'Ports' preference item in the 'SQLServerGPOV {A9BB3E68-6275-44BC-A982-E6F8B3B02C26}' Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070005 Access is denied.' This error was suppressed.
The computer 'PortsInternetAvailable' preference item in the 'SQLServerGPOV {A9BB3E68-6275-44BC-A982-E6F8B3B02C26}' Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070005 Access is denied.' This error was suppressed.
The computer 'UseInternetPorts' preference item in the 'SQLServerGPOV {A9BB3E68-6275-44BC-A982-E6F8B3B02C26}' Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070005 Access is denied.' This error was suppressed.
Security filtering is set to Authenticated Users and Domain Computers like other GPOs
I have tried Diagnostic group policy logging, but I do not see the reason of this error. Log is on pastebin HERE
Any help appreciated. Thanks

> Ports (REG_MULTI_SZ) 49150-49200
> PortsInternetAvailable (REG_SZ) Y
> UseInternetPorts (REG_SZ) Y
What's the parent key of these values? And what ACLs are set on this
parent key?
Even SYSTEM does NOT have write access to all parts of the registry...

DNS Nameserver change via ZEN?

We do not use DHCP in our environment. Is there a way to push out a new DNS
Nameserver IP address to the workstations using a ZEN application?
Thank you,

Thank you, that helped point me in the right direction. By using netsh
commands in a distribution script I think I can accomplish what I am after.
Thanks again,

Change about:config settings via mac terminal

Hello,
I administer over 140 mac computers, all with firefox installed. Unfortunately it seems like a daily occurance when a user calls and says that firefox is bugging them to update, which they cant because they are not admin accounts.
Now I use apple remote desktop to turn off auto-update for a lot of other applications like software update, microsoft office, and adobe. Unfortunately since firefox doesnt use a standard plist file on the mac I cant use default to write the preference remotely.
Question: Is there a way to write to the firefox config via command line so I can turn off auto-update in mass instead of having to touch each computer and make the change in the GUI?
thanks!

Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify default values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults/pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
lockPref("app.update.enabled", false);

Problem deploying Office 2010 via SCCM 2007

Hello,
I have a problem with deploying Office 2010 to Workstations.
I did exactly as instructed settings: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff404178(v=office.14).aspx
When you release it manually (I tested it) everything went fine but when I let you install via SCCM 2007 workstation, just run setup.exe and processes stuck there and nothing happens.I have no idea why setup.exe. What is wrong any ideas?
(It does not matter who's office: 013,010,07)
Thanks

Are you using any silent key like setup.exe/s S or setup/quite etc.. ??

No, should i? Microsoft does not say anything like that... Name field,
which in this example is named Office 2010 silent installation.
In the Command line field,
in this example type setup.exe.
Of course I'll try but I do not suppose this helped ...

Can no longer connect to HFM Office provider via Smartview

Can connect to Essbase and Reporting and Analysis via Smartview. Just not HFM. This worked for over 1 month and suddenly just stopped! Nothing changed on the servers that we know of. Our TQA environment is still working fine. Just our production environment that broke!!
We are running version 11.1.2.1. Office 2003. XP on the desktops. Windows 2008 R2 64 bit enterprise on the servers. Shared and Private connections do not work.
Here is the link we use within smartview for private connection:
http://<servername>/hfmofficeprovider/hfmofficeprovider.aspx
Event Viewer on HFM web server gives this error each time I try:
Error 11; hfmSmartViewAppPool; 05/22/2012 21:57:09; CHITRegistryWrapper.cpp; Line 23; <?xml version="1.0"?> <EStr><Ref>{D63605EF-E448-4F74-9DA1-C26F046D026B}</Ref><AppName/><User/><DBUpdate>1</DBUpdate><ESec><Num>-2147221164</Num><Type>1</Type><DTime>5/22/2012 9:57:09 PM</DTime><Svr>ServerName</Svr><File>CHITRegistryWrapper.cpp</File><Line>23</Line><Ver>11.1.2.1.000.3082</Ver></ESec></EStr>
When trying to access the HFM application via Workspace, receive a Class not registered warning. HFM application will not open. You are left at Workspace homepage.
I can run Financial Management client and access the HFM application with no issues. I can run Financial Reporting reports against the HFM app. via workspace with no issues.
We really need to get this working. SR is open with Oracle support. They recommended patch 12830755, but it did not help.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
What is the user running hfmSmartViewAppPool on your IIS ?
is there a possiblility that its rights has been updated recently ?
you can try to update the user with your DCOM service admin user and restart IIS and HFM services.
Hope it helps,
Ahmet

Can't Access Router Settings via 192.168.2.1

I have recently changed modem/routers as my connection speed was increased recently and the old modem wasn't up to the task... The previous modem/router was preconfigured and I did nothing to it, however the new one requires settings be fixed by accessing it via a browser at 192.168.2.1
When the technician came to check my line and set up the new modem, we encountered a strange situation. Despite being connected by Ethernet cable, my machine could not access the IP address reserved for the router.
The reply is: "Safari can’t connect to the server.
Safari can’t open the page “http://192.168.2.1/” because Safari can’t connect to the server “192.168.2.1”."
We tried Firefox and the same happened.
I have deactivated my firewall, rebooted, changed cables, restarted the router, got Safari to pretend to be Explorer, got the neighbor's dog to bark at it, everything except make a blood pact with the devil, and the two browsers on my machine think that 192.168.2.1 is an external address- which it isn't, and of course fails to connect.
The technician used his laptop to configure the thing, so I can access the internet (obviously) but I must find out why I can't access the router/modem's settings, if only to find some logical reason for this illogical behavior.
I've tried looking this issue up, and I get lots of bad wiring, wireless connection, windows proprietary shenanigans, but none that explain my situation.
I'd appreciate it if someone could help me make sense of this.
My setup:
Computer Model Name: Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics)
Model Identifier: PowerMac3,1
Processor Name: PowerPC G4 (3.3)
Processor Speed: 1.35 GHz
Number Of CPUs: 1
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
L3 Cache (per CPU): 2 MB
Memory: 832 MB
Bus Speed: 100 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.2.8f1
Sales Order Number: M7827LL/A
Router: "2-Wire Gateway"

Your advice did the job quite nicely and it seems this is the "natural way of things," but I was totally unaware of it since my previous modems were preconfigured and I never had to muck about with subnets and such things.
What irks me is that this is basic, bare bones information that the Tech support people should have given me right off the bat. Why do they assume I have all the right numbers input into the Ethernet or PPPoE settings? They seemed totally perplexed that I couldn't connect, and frankly so was I- since my old Mac, as decrepit as it is, is still able to kick it with the modern way of things better than most computers I work with.
If they had asked me if I had set the right IP's in the right slots, it could have been fixed in 2 minutes.
Thank you very much for solving my problem, it saves me a lot of stress and confusion.

WRT54G v8: Unable to change some settings via the browser interface

I have a WRT54G V8 router which I'm trying to set up as a wireless access point.
I purchased it some time ago and flashed the firmware to version 8.00.2. I see there
is a newer firmware version available, and I'm going to try flashing that to see if it
helps, but wanted to ask here first.
The problem is that when I connect to the router using a web browser, I can see
the administration pages, and even change most settings, but some settings
just snap back to their previous values.
For example, I go to Setup -> Advanced Routing, and change Operating Mode
from Gateway to Router. When I do, I see it changes to Router, then I see it
talking to the HTTP server, and then it changes back to Gateway.
This also happens in other areas, like trying to enable MAC address filtering -
it won't let me enable it, and the Security Mode setting (under Wireless -> Wireless
Security) - It won't let me select WPA2 Personal, among others.
Note that I've had this router for a while, but decided to change how it was configured
today, so I started by pressing and holding the reset button for >5sec to reset it to
factory defaults and went from there.
I'm assuming there must be some settings which are preventing these from taking,
but I can't imagine any setting which should prevent me from enabling the MAC
address filtering.
Just in case this matters, I have the router connected to my in-home network using
one of the 4 Ethernet ports, and don't have anything plugged into the Internet port.
Also, I have turned off the DHCP server, and assigned a static IP address to the
router. This is the IP I'm using to connect to the router's administrative pages via
a browser running on one of the other PCs on my in-home network.
The wireless access point is working, in that I can connect to my in-home network
with my wireless client (laptop).
Can anyone help me understand what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,

Thanks, Yes, I did reset the router. Just to clarify:
- I was having the problem where making changes to some settings would cause the settings to revert back to the original settings. In fact, the settings would switch back before I would have a chance to click on the Save Settings button. Clicking on the button after the settings changed back, of course, saved the original setting. For example, I would click on a drop-down control to change a setting, see the browser communicate with the HTTP server, then the drop-down would just snap back to the original value. It wouldn't allow me to change it to a different value.
- I reset the router, including holding the reset button for >5 seconds to force a full-reset. This didn't help.
- I attempted to update the firmware with the latest version for my router (yes, I double-checked that I had the correct version for my router/version). This failed with a strange message and required that I do another reset of the router.
It was after this failed attempt at the update that the problem went away. Now, I am able to change these particular settings and the changes stick.
At this point, I updated the firmware to the latest version and it worked. After this, I am still able to make all the necessary setting changes and the router is performing as I need.
Thanks for all the help,

Apple wired keyboard. Number pad not working with Windows Office 07 via bo

I have a 27' Quad core i7 with windows 7 loaded via bootcamp. i have Office 2007 loaded in the Windows partition.
My problem is that the number pad on my wired apple keyboard does not work in excel or word. The number at the top of the keyboard work fine.
Has anyone found a solution please.
Message was edited by: Fernbergjim

Hi,
does the numpad work in other Windows programs, or is it just the MS Office programs ?
Have you tried the 'clear'-key (the one above the '7'-key on the numpad) to enable the numpad ?
