Outlook non cached mode

Question

Good day,
I have been tasked to see if there is a way to enable outlook to alternate between cached on non cached mode.  This must be based on whether the user is logging onto his primary device for cached mode, and whether he is logging onto a temp device for
non-cached mode.
Can this be done using group policy? I know we can determine a primary device using SCCM, but not how to enable GPO to read from SCCM and then apply the correct setting.
Windows 7 SP1 x 32
SCCM 2012 SP1
Server 2008.
Any info on how this can be achieved?

Hi Carlo,
Before going further, to use group policy to manage Office, we need to download administrative templates files for Office from Microsoft download center.
>>This must be based on whether the user is logging onto his primary device for cached mode, and whether he is logging onto a temp device for non-cached mode.
For the Outlook setting we want is under User Configuration in GPO, we can create a new GPO, enable Loopback Merge processing mode in the GPO, configure the Outlook setting in the GPO, and then utilize Security
Filtering to just apply the GPO to the user’s primary device account.
Regarding Loopback processing, the following article can be referred to for more information.
