configure GPO to Always trust Macro from this publisher.

[windowsfan]

How can I configure GP to trust the Macro which is digitally signed?
I am using office 2003 templates. This are the settings I configured.

Tools
User Configuration
MS Office Outlook 2003
Tools | Macro [Security: Enabled to Medium]
Outlook : Trust all installed add-ins and template
Enabled with check box checked [Trus all add-ins / templates]

With this configured users are still prompted to enable Macro from this publisher, How can I configured this on GP?

all the above setting will not work for outlook 2000?

Are they being applied. Do an rsop on the client

 

[windowsfan]

Yes GPO is applied
Macro security level is set to Medium on outlook 2003, but not outlook, this does not work on outlook 2000.

It still prompts outlook 2003 users to to click enable macro and always trust macro from this publisher. How can I fix this and how can I make this work on xp, 2000 outlook?

I think you should try posting in excel forums. You may get a quick solution.

What about editing the registry?

Also found this but I can work excel and fix most problems but I have never really got involved with templates and VBA.

Thanks for you help
What I did was downloaded ADM for outlook 2000,xp,2003 and imported them to Group Polciy.

I cannot find Tools | Security | Macro option for outlook 2000

I was able to configure Macro security on outlook 2003 and XP.

But,
How do I configure Macro so that it does not prompt user to manually enable macro and trusted publisher?

After I manually enable Macro and trusted published, it creates registry entry under
HK_Current_User\software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\TrustedPublisher\certificates\
Can I configure same via GP?

You could if you create a ADM for it.

something like this. I have created this based on the above info

;; Your name for writing it
;; 
;; Disable Office 2000 Macro 
CLASS USER 
CATEGORY !!Macro_Office_2000_Policy 
POLICY !!DISABLE_MACRO
KEYNAME "Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\TrustedPublisher\certificates" 
VALUENAME what value you want 
VALUEON "" 
END POLICY 
END CATEGORY 
[strings]

DISABLE_MACRO="Disable Macro Office 2000"
