Microsoft Visio 2010Microsoft Visio 201014.0.4763.1000This policy determines whether hyperlinks to Office documents open inside the application, or inside a browser window. The default in Office 2010 and greater (changed from previous releases) is to open within the Office applications. This behavior can also be driven from the Windows shell (in Windows XP and prior): Tools | Folder Options... | File Types | <file extension>| Advanced | Browse in same window.Open Hyperlinks to documents in Windows Internet ExplorerThis policy setting controls whether the specified Office application notifies users when unsigned application add-ins are loaded or silently disable such add-ins without notification. This policy setting only applies if you enable the "Require that application add-ins are signed by Trusted Publisher" policy setting, which prevents users from changing this policy setting.
If you enable this policy setting, applications automatically disable unsigned add-ins without informing users.
If you disable this policy setting, if this application is configured to require that all add-ins be signed by a trusted publisher, any unsigned add-ins the application loads will be disabled and the application will display the Trust Bar at the top of the active window. The Trust Bar contains a message that informs users about the unsigned add-in.
If you do not configure this policy setting, the disable behavior applies, and in addition, users can configure this requirement themselves in the "Add-ins" category of the Trust Center for the application.Disable Trust Bar Notification for unsigned application add-ins and block themThis policy setting controls whether add-ins for this applications must be digitally signed by a trusted publisher.
If you enable this policy setting, this application checks the digital signature for each add-in before loading it. If an add-in does not have a digital signature, or if the signature did not come from a trusted publisher, this application disables the add-in and notifies the user. Microsoft provides four certificates for Office, which you can add to the Trusted Publishers list. These certificates must be added to the Trusted Publishers list if you require that all add-ins be signed by a trusted publisher. The Microsoft certificates are named Mscert01.cer, Mscert02.cer, Mscert03.cer, Mscert04.cer, and can be found on the Microsoft Web site. Office 2010 stores certificates for trusted publishers in the Internet Explorer trusted publisher store. Earlier versions of Microsoft Office stored trusted publisher certificate information (specifically, the certificate thumbprint) in a special Office trusted publisher store. Office 2010 still reads trusted publisher certificate information from the Office trusted publisher store, but it does not write information to this store. Therefore, if you created a list of trusted publishers in a previous version of Office and you upgrade to Office 2010, your trusted publisher list will still be recognized. However, any trusted publisher certificates that you add to the list will be stored in the Internet Explorer trusted publisher store. For more information about trusted publishers, see the Office Resource Kit.
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, this application does not check the digital signature on application add-ins before opening them. If a dangerous add-in is loaded, it could harm users' computers or compromise data security.Require that application add-ins are signed by Trusted PublisherTrust CenterThis policy setting allows you to specify a location that is used as a trusted source for opening files in this application. Files in trusted locations bypass file validation, active content checks and Protected View. Macros and code in these files will execute without displaying warnings to the user. If you change or add a location make sure that the new location is secured, with only appropriate user permissions to add document/files.
If you enable this policy setting, you may specify a folder location, path, and date from which files can the application can open files which run macros without warning. If you check the "Allow sub folders" check box, then all sub-folders in the folder you specify will also be trusted.
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the trusted location is not specified.Path:Date:Description:Allow sub folders:Trusted Location #1Trusted Location #2Trusted Location #3Trusted Location #4Trusted Location #5Trusted Location #6Trusted Location #7Trusted Location #8Trusted Location #9Trusted Location #10Trusted Location #11Trusted Location #12Trusted Location #13Trusted Location #14Trusted Location #15Trusted Location #16Trusted Location #17Trusted Location #18Trusted Location #19Trusted Location #20Allow Trusted Locations on the networkThis policy setting controls whether trusted locations on the network can be used.
If you enable this policy setting, users can specify trusted locations on network shares or in other remote locations that are not under their direct control by selecting the "Allow Trusted Locations on my network (not recommended)" check box in the Trusted Locations section of the Trust Center. Content, code, and add-ins are allowed to load from trusted locations with minimal security and without prompting the user for permission.
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the selected application ignores any network locations listed in the Trusted Locations section of the Trust Center. Disabling this policy setting does not delete any network locations from the Trusted Locations list. Instead, it forces the selected application to treat the locations as non-trusted and prevents users from adding new network locations to the list.
If you also deploy Trusted Locations via Group Policy, you should verify whether any of them are remote locations. If any of them are remote locations and you do not allow remote locations via this policy setting, those policy keys that point to remote locations will be ignored on client computers.
Disabling this policy setting will cause disruption for users who add network locations to the Trusted Locations list. However, it is not recommended to enable this policy setting (as the "Allow Trusted Locations on my network (not recommended)" check box itself states), so in practice it should be possible to disable this policy setting in most situations without causing significant usability issues for most users.Disable all trusted locationsThis policy setting allows administrators to disable all trusted locations in the specified applications. Trusted locations specified in the Trust Center are used to define file locations that are assumed to be safe. Content, code, and add-ins are allowed to load from trusted locations with a minimal amount of security, without prompting the users for permission. If a dangerous file is opened from a trusted location, it will not be subject to standard security measures and could harm users' computers or data.
If you enable this policy setting, all trusted locations (those specified in the Trust Center) in the specified applications are ignored, including any trusted locations established by Office 2010 during setup, deployed to users using Group Policy, or added by users themselves. Users will be prompted again when opening files from trusted locations.
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, all trusted locations (those specified in the Trust Center) in the specified applications are assumed to be safe.Disable all application add-insThis policy setting disables all add-ins for the specified Office 2010 applications.
If you enable this policy setting, all add-ins for the specified Office 2010 applications are disabled.
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, all add-ins for the specified Office 2010 applications are allowed to run without notifying the users, except if application add-ins are required to be signed by Trusted Publishers.Turn off Trusted Documents on the networkThis policy setting allows you to turn off the trusted documents feature for documents opened from the network.
If you enable this policy setting, users will always see security notifications for active content such as macros, ActiveX controls, data connections, etc. for documents opened from the network.
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the trusted documents feature allows users to always allow active content in documents such as macros, ActiveX controls, data connections, etc. so that users are not prompted the next time they open the documents. Trusted documents are exempt from security notifications.Turn off Data Execution PreventionThis policy setting allows you to turn on and off Data Execution Prevention (DEP) for Visio. DEP is a set of hardware and software technologies that perform additional checks on memory to help prevent malicious code from running on a system. The primary benefit of DEP is to help prevent code execution from data pages.
If you enable this policy setting, you will turn off DEP for Visio.
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, you will turn on DEP for Visio.Turn off trusted documentsThis policy setting allows you to turn off the trusted documents feature. The trusted documents feature allows users to always enable active content in documents such as macros, ActiveX controls, data connections, etc. so that they are not prompted the next time they open the documents. Trusted documents are exempt from security notifications.
If you enable this policy setting, you will turn off the trusted documents feature. Users will receive a security prompt every time a document containing active content is opened.
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, documents will be trusted when users enable content for a document, and users will not receive a security prompt.Set maximum number of trusted documentsThis policy setting allows you to specify the maximum number of trust records for trusted documents that can be stored in the registry.
If you enable this policy setting, you may specify the maximum number of trust records, with an upper limit of 20000. Due to performance reasons, it is not recommended to set it to the upper limit.
If you disable or you do not configure this policy setting, the default value for of 500 is used.Set maximum number of trust records to preserveThis policy setting allows you to specify the maximum number of trust records to preserve when the purge task detects that this application has trusted more than the number of trusted documents set by the "Set maximum number of trusted documents" policy setting.
If you enable this policy setting, you may specify the maximum number of trust records to preserve, with an upper limit of 20000. Due to performance reasons, it is not recommended to set it to the upper limit.
If you disable or you do not configure this policy setting, the default value for of 400 is used.VBA Macro Notification SettingsThis policy setting controls how the specified applications warn users when Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macros are present.
If you enable this policy setting, you can choose from four options for determining how the specified applications will warn the user about macros:
- Disable all with notification: The application displays the Trust Bar for all macros, whether signed or unsigned. This option enforces the default configuration in Office.
- Disable all except digitally signed macros: The application displays the Trust Bar for digitally signed macros, allowing users to enable them or leave them disabled. Any unsigned macros are disabled, and users are not notified.
- Disable all without notification: The application disables all macros, whether signed or unsigned, and does not notify users.
- Enable all macros (not recommended): All macros are enabled, whether signed or unsigned. This option can significantly reduce security by allowing dangerous code to run undetected.
If you disable this policy setting, the "Trust Bar warning for all macros" will be the default setting.
If you do not configure this policy setting, when users open files in the specified applications that contain VBA macros, the applications open the files with the macros disabled and display the Trust Bar with a warning that macros are present and have been disabled. Users can inspect and edit the files if appropriate, but cannot use any disabled functionality until they enable it by clicking "Enable Content" on the Trust Bar. If the user clicks "Enable Content," then the document is added as a trusted document.
Important: If "Trust bar warning for digitally signed macros only (unsigned macros will be disabled)" is selected, users will not be able to open unsigned Access databases.
Also, note that Microsoft Office stores certificates for trusted publishers in the Internet Explorer trusted publisher store. Earlier versions of Microsoft Office stored trusted publisher certificate information (specifically, the certificate thumbprint) in a special Office trusted publisher store. Microsoft Office still reads trusted publisher certificate information from the Office trusted publisher store, but it does not write information to this store.
Therefore, if you created a list of trusted publishers in a previous version of Microsoft Office and you upgrade to Office, your trusted publisher list will still be recognized. However, any trusted publisher certificates that you add to the list will be stored in the Internet Explorer trusted publisher store.
