Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) Cipher Feedback (CFB) Set CNG cipher key length This policy setting allows you to configure the number of bits to use when creating the cipher key. This number will be rounded down to a multiple of 8. If you enable this policy setting, the key bits specified will be used. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the default value will be used. Set parameters for CNG context This policy setting allows you to specify the encryption parameters that should be used for the CNG context. If you enable this policy setting, the parameters specified will be passed to the CNG context. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the default CNG values will be used. Specify CNG hash algorithm This policy setting allows you to specify the hash algorithm used. If you enable this policy setting, the hashing algorithm selected will be used by CNG. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the default CNG hash algorithm will be used. SHA1 SHA256 SHA384 SHA512 Set CNG password spin count This policy setting allows you to specify the number of times to spin (rehash) the password verifier. If you enable this policy setting, the number specified will be the number of times the password will be rehashed. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the default (100000) will be used. Specify CNG random number generator algorithm This policy setting allows you to configure the CNG random number generator to use. If you enable this policy setting, the random number generator specified will be used. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the default random number generator will be used. Specify CNG salt length This policy setting allows you to specific the number of bytes of salt that should be used. If you enable this policy setting, the bytes specified will be used. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the default length or 16 will be used. VBA Macro Notification Settings This 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, "Disable all with notification" 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 "Disable all except digitally signed macros" 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. Disable all with notification Disable all except digitally signed macros Disable all without notification Enable all macros (not recommended) This 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. Certificates must be added to the Trusted Publishers list if you require that all add-ins be signed by a trusted publisher. For detail on about obtaining and distributing certificates, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=294922. Office 2016 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 2016 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 2016, 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 Publisher Disable Trust Bar Notification for unsigned application add-ins and block them This 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. Allow Trusted Locations on the network This 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 clicking the "Add new location" button 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 this policy setting, the selected application ignores any network locations listed in the Trusted Locations section of the Trust Center. 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 does not delete any network locations from the Trusted Locations list, but causes disruption for users who add network locations to the Trusted Locations list. Users are also prevented from adding new network locations to the Trusted Locations list in the Trust Center. We recommended that you do not enable this policy setting (as the "Allow Trusted Locations on my network (not recommended)" check box also states). Therefore, in practice, it should be possible to disable this policy setting in most situations without causing significant usability issues for most users. If you do not enable this policy setting, users can select the "Allow Trusted Locations on my network (not recommended)" check box if desired and then specify trusted locations by clicking the "Add new location" button. This 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. Disable all trusted locations This 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 2016 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. Path: Date: Description: Allow sub folders: Trusted Location #1 Trusted Location #2 Trusted Location #3 Trusted Location #4 Trusted Location #5 Trusted Location #6 Trusted Location #7 Trusted Location #8 Trusted Location #9 Trusted Location #10 Trusted Location #11 Trusted Location #12 Trusted Location #13 Trusted Location #14 Trusted Location #15 Trusted Location #16 Trusted Location #17 Trusted Location #18 Trusted Location #19 Trusted Location #20 Disable all application add-ins This policy setting disables all add-ins for the specified Office 2016 applications. If you enable this policy setting, all add-ins for the specified Office 2016 applications are disabled. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, all add-ins for the specified Office 2016 applications are allowed to run without notifying the users, except if application add-ins are required to be signed by Trusted Publishers. Security Level Specifies the level of security used when opening documents. If you enable this policy setting, the security level you specified will be used when user open documents. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the users default for this setting is followed. Low (not recommended) Medium High Very High Tools | Local Project Cache Local Project Cache Location Sets the location path of the local project cache on the user's computer. Local Project Cache Size Limit in MB Sets the size limit in MB of the local project cache. This is applied per user profile. If this setting is enabled, the size of the cache will be set to the number specified. If this setting is disabled or not configured, users are able to set the cache size limit.

If you enable this policy setting, and the "List of managed add-ins" policy setting is also enabled, all add-ins are blocked except those that are configured as 1 (always enabled) or 2 (configurable by the user) in the "List of managed add-ins" policy setting. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, users can enable or disable any add-ins that are not managed by the "List of managed add-ins" policy setting. List of managed add-ins List of managed add-ins This policy setting allows you to specify which add-ins are always enabled, always disabled (blocked), or configurable by the user. To block add-ins that are not managed by this policy setting, you must also configure the "Block all unmanaged add-ins" policy setting. To enable this policy setting, provide the following information for each add-in: In "Value name," specify the programmatic identifier (ProgID) for COM add-ins. To obtain the ProgID for an add-in, use Registry Editor on the client computer where the add-in is installed to locate key names under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\MS Project\Addins or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\MS Project\Addins. You can also obtain the ProgID of an add-in by using Office Telemetry Dashboard. In "Value," specify the value as follows: To specify that an add-in is always disabled (blocked), type 0. To specify that an add-in is always enabled, type 1. To specify that an add-in is configurable by the user and not blocked by the "Block all unmanaged add-ins" policy setting when enabled, type 2. If you disable or do not enable this policy setting, the list of managed add-ins is deleted. If the "Block all unmanaged add-ins" policy setting is enabled, then all add-ins are blocked. Disable the Office Start screen for Project This policy setting controls whether the Office Start screen appears on boot for Project. If you enable this policy setting, users will not see the Office Start screen when they boot Project. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, users will see the Office Start screen when they boot Project. Note: This policy setting is overridden by the policy setting "Microsoft Office 2016 > Miscellaneous > Disable the Office Start screen for all Office applications" if that policy setting is set. Personal templates path for Project This policy setting specifies the location of a user's personal templates. If you enable this policy setting, users will see any templates they have saved in the specified location in the custom templates tab on the Office Start screen and in File | New and when saving a template their default folder will change to be the specified location. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, users will not see templates they have saved in the custom templates tab on the Office Start screen and in File | New and when saving a template their default folder will be their document save location. Show custom templates tab by default in Project on the Office Start screen and in File | New This policy setting controls whether custom templates (when they exist) show as the default tab in Project on the Office Start screen and in File | New. If you enable this policy setting, users will the see custom templates tab as the default tab in Project on the Office Start screen and in File | New when templates exist (this can include Custom XML programmed templates, templates in the Workgroup templates path, templates in the Personal templates path, or SharePoint templates). If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, users will see the Featured templates tab as the default tab in Project on the Office Start screen and in File | New, unless all Office-provided templates have been disabled.
