Severity: HighGraph

Description

CIS Microsoft Intune for Office Benchmark, recommendation 2.2.4.6.1 (Level 1).

The test passes when an assigned settings catalog policy for Windows sets Microsoft Excel 2016 > Excel Options > Save > Default file format to Enabled, with Save Excel files as set to Excel Workbook (*.xlsx) in the same policy, and no other assigned policy sets it to something else.

Remediation action

  1. In the Microsoft Intune admin center, go to Devices > Configuration and open (or create) a settings catalog policy for Windows 10 and later.
  2. Add Microsoft Excel 2016 > Excel Options > Save > Default file format and set it to Enabled, then set Save Excel files as to Excel Workbook (*.xlsx).
  3. Assign the policy to your Windows devices, and remove any other assigned policy that sets it to something else.
