Configuration profile to set File and browser preferences in Outlook Options > Advanced
Hello,
Wondering if anyone has found a way to set these settings in Outlook (classic) via Intune. We do not want hyperlinks from Outlook opening with Edge and likewise we do not want email attachments for office files opening in the browser, we want them to open with the office apps.
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?
