MP.JL.CISOFFINT.L1.186 PowerPoint 97-2003 presentations, shows, templates and add-in files is set to Enabled: Open/Save blocked, use open policy

Severity: HighGraph

Description

CIS Microsoft Intune for Office Benchmark, recommendation 2.6.6.6.2.1.1 (Level 1).

The test passes when an assigned settings catalog policy for Windows sets Microsoft PowerPoint 2016 > PowerPoint Options > Security > Trust Center > File Block Settings > PowerPoint 97-2003 presentations, shows, templates and add-in files to Enabled, with File block setting set to Open/Save blocked, use open policy 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 PowerPoint 2016 > PowerPoint Options > Security > Trust Center > File Block Settings > PowerPoint 97-2003 presentations, shows, templates and add-in files and set it to Enabled, then set File block setting to Open/Save blocked, use open policy.
  3. Assign the policy to your Windows devices, and remove any other assigned policy that sets it to something else.
