GPO setting default file location for Office 365 doesn't apply correct

Hi

I'm trying to setup Office 365 using Group Policies. The policies seems to be applied correctly (they can be located under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\16.0...) But the policies regarding file locations all seems to be ignored.

As an example, I have set 2 policies for Excel under "Microsoft Excel 2016/Excel Options/Save":

  • "Save Excel Files as"
  • "Default file location"

The first applies correctly, while the second seems to be ignored. I have tried both with UNC network path, mappede network drive and a local folder. All with the same result: only folders typed in manually at "file/Options/Save/Defalut File Locations" have any effect.

Any help would be appreciated - thx
