Office 2010 Recommended settings

[STK91]

Hi All,

 

Rolling out Office 2010 Professional this summer, Might be a quick solution. Once office has rolled out to a machine, activated etc, it then asks whenever a user logs in 'Recommended settings' when opening for example word.

 

How can I stop it from asking this everytime?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Steve

You can stop this and also setup the other office customization through creating an MSP file.

 

This guide from M$ is pretty good. Office Customization Tool in Office 2010

An easier way would be using the offical Office 2010 group policy templates.

along with other options you should probably set.

As others have stated, use policy templates:

 

User Config > Policies > Admin Templates > Microsoft Office 2010 > Miscellaneous - Suppress recommended settings dialog - Enabled

 

User Config > Policies > Admin Templates > Microsoft Office 2010 > Privacy > Trust Center - Disable Opt-in Wizard on first run - Enabled

 

Other useful policies are relaxing Macro settings, which are disabled by default in Office 2010. You can do this per Microsoft Office application.
