Office 2007 Group Policy Templates Now Available

The Windows Group Policy Team blog reports that the Office 2007 Group Policies are available for download from Microsoft's web site. If you're using Office 2007 in your environment and want the ability to manage nearly every possible nitpicky little setting for Office, you want these templates.

Ever wonder why there are so many possible individually-set options in any of the Office applications? In some ways...

...this was done so that managing them through Group Policy becomes very atomic. Using these Group Policy templates, you can manage virtually any of the settings. According to the blog post the download includes:

- The updated Group Policy Administrative Template files (ADM files)
- The updated Office Customization Tool (OCT)
- The updated Office customization tool OPA files
- ADMX and ADML versions of the 2007 Microsoft Office system Administrative Template files for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.
- An Excel workbook that provides information about the 2007 Office system Group Policy settings and OPA settings.
- Multiple language versions of the template files, including English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
