The policy template files provided with the Microsoft Office 2003 Editions Resource Kit enable you to set policies globally for users of Office on a network. By using policies, an administrator can quickly enforce a user configuration on users’ computers when users, groups, or computers log on to the network.
The Microsoft Office policy template files (ADM files) describe all of the policy settings you can set for Office. These ADM files are used with the Group Policy snap-in included in Microsoft Windows operating systems to apply policies to users’ computers.
The Office Resource Kit Setup program installs the following policy templates in the \Windows\INF folder on your computer.
