server 2003 standard, office/outlook 2007 templates/no exchange server

[ChristineMD]

Good Morning

*new computers with office/outlook 2k7
*we use pop mail provided by a web host/no exchange server
*going through attachment security hell
*the local registry "hacks" seem to be behaving inconsistently.

I want to install the O2K7 group policy templates


I have about 50 users and 3 have O2K7, so I don't want to kill my O2K3 users by installing this and updating group policy.

Will it affect all office users, or will it really only affect office 2K7?

Has anyone experienced any bugs with the policy as a result?

Thanks in advance!

1. create a new policy and deny authenticated users the apply group policy right (temporarily)
2. import the new office adms into that policy and set what you need
3. create a domain based group with the 3 user accounts in it
4. ACL the policy so only the new group has the read and apply group policy rights
5. run gpupdate /ofrce and reboot the client systems
