We use MS 365. I've tried multiple ways to change this setting across our organization but none seem to work:
- Group Policy: User Admin Templates->Microsoft Office 2016->Links->Choose which browser opens web links, change to System default browser
- Intune: Configuration Profile->User Config->Microsoft Office 2016->Links->Choose which browser opens web links, change to System default browser
- MS 365 Apps Admin Center (config.office.com) Policy->Choose which browser opens web links->Default Browser
- Registry: hkcu\software\microsoft\office\16.0\common\links BrowserChoice and BrowserChoiceTime - obfuscated with binary. Copying the registry key created from another machine does not change the setting in Outlook
Has anyone else ran into this or suggest a solution? For now, we've just emailed everyone the instructions through Outlook how to change it manually.
I decided to try the Settings Catalog instead of admin templates through Intune. That at least shows it trying to apply - with Error and no error code lol. Very helpful, MS. And on the 1 PC it did successfully apply to, it didn't actually change the setting.
