ADM Template help

Guest2 · 12 Jan 2010 at 12:22

I have Group policy templates for Office general, Outlook, Excel and Word

I want to be able to add this key into the current ADM template so that the option for 'Enable Automatic update for all workbook links' is turned on. This is found in Trust Centre > External content

When it is turned on it enables the following in the registry

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\Security]
"WorkbookLinkWarnings"=dword:00000000

How do I get this working in an ADM template I already have?

My template is Excel12.ADM, it appears as 'Microsoft Office Excel 2007' in the admin templates.

I have searched google and found the following but adding this does not work and produces errors

CATEGORY "Custom Excel settings"
POLICY "Enable automatic update for all Workbook Links"
KEYNAME "Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\Security"
VALUENAME "WorkbookLinkWarnings"
END POLICY
END CATEGORY

Thanks

Bump. Still trying to figure this out

edit - doesnt matter, ive stuck it in the login files instead of an ADM template

Not the answer you're looking for but could you not just push out the reg file using psexec and a text file with the computer names?

After looking over your ADM insert above, thought it looked wrong... format is missing keys, however I'm no expert on .ADM files..

Example:

CLASS MACHINE

CATEGORY!!Netcache
KEYNAME "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NetCache "

POLICY!!FormatDatabase
EXPLAIN!!Sample_ADM_FeatureOnOff_Help
VALUENAME "FormatDatabase"
VALUEON 1
VALUEOFF 0
END POLICY
END CATEGORY

You're ADM had no value nor does it specify were in the reg to add the value?
