Microsoft Office Settings (User Management)

Microsoft Office Settings

The Microsoft Office object provides the ability to centrally configure default file locations for Microsoft Office.

By centrally configuring the paths used by Microsoft Office, it is ensured that user-created documents are stored to network servers rather than locally on the user’s computer. This enables documents to be secured, backed up nightly, and made available to the user regardless of which computer the user logs on from.
