Configuration profile to set File and browser preferences in Outlook Options > Advanced
thomas215 Hi, try using OMA-URIs:
-OMA-URI for Outlook hyperlinks-
To prevent links from Outlook from opening in Microsoft Edge and force them to open in the operating system's default browser (for example, Chrome or Firefox), you can use an OMA-URI setting that controls this behavior.
Name: OutlookOpenLinksInDefaultBrowser
OMA-URI: ./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/ApplicationDefaults/OpenLinksInDefaultBrowser
Data type: Integer
Value: 1 (1 to force open in default browser, 0 to open in Edge)
-OMA-URI for Office attachments-
To make Office files (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) sent as attachments in email open in desktop applications instead of in the browser (Office Online), you can set the following OMA-URI:
Name: OutlookOpenOfficeFilesInDesktop
OMA-URI: ./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Office/OfficeFileHandling/OpenInDesktopApp
Data type: Integer
Value: 1 (1 to force open in Office client apps, 0 to open in browser)
- Thank you for your help! I am getting an 0x87d1fde8 error. Any ideas why that may be?
I also have a Default Associations Configuration config profile to set Chrome as the default app. Could this be conflicting with ./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/ApplicationDefaults/OpenLinksInDefaultBrowser?thomas215 Hi, what kind of licenses do you use? Business Premium or M365 E3/E5?
