This value pre-fills the account authentication field for O365 users and sets the 'Belongs to' field in the About Box for both O365 and VL users.

Automatically configure Office 365 mailbox on first launch for Outlook. Will suppress first run dialogs for Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. For new installations from the Mac App Store, will bypass the first run dialogs that ask users if they wish to purchase a new Office 365 subscription.

You can use this preference to control whether most connected experiences are available to your users.

Connected experiences that analyze your content are experiences that use your Office content to provide you with design recommendations, editing suggestions, data insights, and similar features. For example, PowerPoint Designer or Researcher in Word.

Connected experiences that download online content are experiences that allow you to search and download online content including templates, images, 3D models, videos, and reference materials to enhance your documents. For example, Office templates or PowerPoint QuickStarter.

In addition to the connected experiences above, there are some optional connected experiences that you may choose to allow your users to access. For example, the LinkedIn features of the Resume Assistant in Word or the Weather Bar in Outlook, which uses MSN Weather.

Diagnostic data is used to keep Office secure and up-to-date, detect, diagnose and remediate problems, and also make product improvements.

Controls wether diagnostic data transmission is on or off.

Setting this option to TRUE will suppress the 'Your privacy options' dialog for Volume License users only.

The VisualBasicMacroExecutionState1 setting controls whether macros are ever allowed to execute, and what the user experience is when opening a file that contains a macro. By default, macros will only run after the user is presented with an alert when opening a file that contains a macro. The user must make a choice whether to allow or deny macros for each individual file, each time that file is opened.

Controls the ability for 3rd party vendors to use a DECLARE statement to bind a Visual Basic symbol name to an external procedure in the local OS.

Determines if macros are allowed to use a DECLARE to bind to the system() OS API. This API allows macros to execute arbitrary external processes and pass them arbitrary data on the command line.

Determines if macros are allowed to use a DECLARE to bind to the popen() OS API. This API allows macros to execute arbitrary external processes and pass them arbitrary data on the command line.

The DisableVisualBasicMacScript setting determines if macros are allowed to invoke the MacScript() Visual Basic API. This API allows macros to execute arbitrary processes via AppleScript by including "do shell script ..." in the AppleScript code.
