"Save As" Links to Sites in Office Client applications

Deleted

I've been doing some digging around the web looking for information on how to publish links to users so they can easily navigate to a site when they "Save As..." from within an office client application (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.)

 

As usual it seems there are a number of ways to do this, but am not entirely sure which is the right one and also not clear whether they work:

 

  • Group Policy - is there a GPO setting to do this? If so how?
  • My Links (newsfeed) - Doc Library > Ribbon > Connect to Office > Manage SharePoint Sites

  • SharePoint Sites (favourite/links in Windows Explorer) - how do these get updated? GPO?

  • Published Links (SharePoint Admin > User Profiles > Publish Links to Office Client Applications) - I've tried this but nothing seems to change or appear in Office clients - is there some further configuration required / GPO setting?

How have you managed this?
