Office 2003 macro security settings via GPO?

Is there a way, hopefully via GPO, that for Word and Excel 2003 I can force
two checkboxes to be checked in everyone's Macro Security? The two boxes are
"Trust all installed add-ins and templates" and "Trust access to Visual Basic
Project".

Hi Rich,

Glad to see you here.

We can use Office 2003 administrative templates to deploy the Macro
settings:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...720-edc2-479b-
b115-5abb70b3f490&displaylang=en

You will find these settings after having added the adm file (excel11.adm /
word11.adm):

"User Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ Microsoft Office Excel
2003 \ Tools\ Macro \ Security..."

From Office 2003 Group Policies.xls, we can know:

Trust all installed add-ins and templates
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Excel\Secu rity
DontTrustInstalledFiles
0 | 1
Checked: Run macros, installed COM addins and SmartTags based on the
security level only.
Unchecked: Run any macro installed via the add-in manager (signed or
unsigned) regardless of the security level.

Trust access to Visual Basic Project
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Excel\Opti ons
AccessVBOM
1 | 0
Allows/Disallows code to access the VBA object model.

There are also machine based settings for these 2 policies which are
located under:

"Computer Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ Microsoft Office 2003
\ Security Settings"

Hope this helps. If you have any concerns, feel free to let us know.
