Re: Bug with Office GP - Disable Hyperlink Warning?

Hi ,

They should be the same. However, Gpresult shows the corresponding registry
keys, not the policies.

Found some information,check following article:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;829072

Hope this helps.

Hi Vincent,

Thanks for the reply.

I notice that the value 'DisableHyperlinkWarning' is not present in the
txt
file after running Gpresult /z >c:\result.txt. Which is interesting,
because
if I open MMC, and add the RSoP snap-in, and generate the RSoP data, it
shows that the policy IS being applied, it's enabled, and shows the GPO
name
it's come from. I thought that the information between Gpresult & RSoP
would
be the same?

Hi,

It appears that the policy is not applied to client succesfully.

As you said , the corresponding registry key of the policy is:
HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common

You can run : Gpresult /z >c:\result.txt

Check the result.txt if the
HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common is listed in.

thanks.

Hi,

Not sure if this is right or not, but I think I've found a bug in the
group
policy template for Office 2003.

If you go to 'User Config' > 'Admin Templates' > 'Microsoft Office
2003'

'Security Settings' then open the 'Disable Hyperlink Warning' policy
and
try
to set it to enable, without also checking the 'Check to override
hyperlink
warning' it default back to 'Disabled' which is a little annoying if
you
don't realise that's happened, and then spend ages trying to figure out
why
a workstation isn't picking up the new settings. It seems a little
pointless
to have to tick 2 options to perform a single function. In other
policies,
the sub section of the properties dialogue is just for additional
options.

Also even after enabling this policy it doesn't seem that Office 2003
even
picks up the value. I tested this, by forcing a GPupdate, logged off
then
on
again, opened an excel spread*** containing a hyperlink, and still
got
the
warning message. Looking at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829072
there
are
2 locations this value can be set,
"HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common" which is where
the
GP
sets the value, but it can also be entered under
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common" I checked that there
wasn't
a
conflicting value under here that might take precedence over the policy
setting, but there wasn't. I tried another GP update, and rebooted,
then
tested with excel again, but still got the warning. Only after creating
the
entry manually in "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common" and
setting
"DisableHyperlinkWarning" to 1, could I get the warning message to
disable.
It seems that Office, or at least excel, (haven't tested with word
yet),
doesn't take notice of this settings if its defined in a policy.

Has anyone else found this problem, or is it just our setup?

Many thanks

Ben
