JanBakkerOrphaned Haven't seen this before but I'm curious to know more about your configuration @jjboffy . Perhaps you can share a little more info?
- Did you configure Network Domains? These (FQDN's) are used in conjunction with the IP ranges you configure.
- Do you see the extra column "file ownership" in explorer when you browse to the SMB share?
- You say it happens when "mapped to my profile" Did you test without mapping?
- Can you perhaps test with a .txt file? from the same file share (add notepad to your approved apps) Can you open the txt and is it protected?
- Can you open a word document from the share using Wordpad? (while not on approved apps list)
- How did you configure your WIP protection mode? Block, Allow Override or Silent? ( I'd advise to start with silent)
- Almost sure you did but asking anyway...Did you check the event logs?
- Is it possible to configure another (test) WIP policy and target it to a test group with one or 2 users? This policy should be configured the same, but with network domains configured. I'm also curious about Cloud resources. Could you configure this test policy to include cloud resources like Sharepoint and OneDrive? I'm wondering if Office is going to behave the same way when opening files from SPO or OdB.
