Turn off Office 2010 Protected View with Group Policy

Introduction

Had a fun time trying to work out how to disable Protected View with Group Policy. While it was staring me in the face and I was being a little silly there are lots of settings and a few ways of doing it.

This was worked for me and stopped all files being opened in protected view, this may not be right for your network if you have a strong security policy as any file downloaded from the internet would open without protected view.

This was needed for us with lots of files being uploaded and downloaded from out client sites we host.

1

Open Group Policy Editing

And find the policy you want to edit, as a general rule don't edit the default policy. Create your own.

If you don't know much about group policy checkout other how to's and online bits about how to setup your own policy. It can break your whole network (yes thats from experience)

2

Download the ADM templates
