Since a couple of months Microsoft Intune offers the possibility to use ADMX templates to configure Microsoft Office 365 Pro Plus. Earlier on this was possible via scripting to configure Microsoft Office. This is not ideal because our managed services department had a hard time controling this. When I read about the ADMX templates I was eager to start testing. I will share my experiences with you.
In the examples I assume that the users that you configure these options for work on fat clients.

Preparation for Intune

For the examples I will elaborate on these parts of the Microsoft Office 365 suite:
Outlook
OneDrive
First things first, let’s start with an example to configure a profile with an ADMX template:
1. Log on to https://devicemanagement.microsoft.com/ to enter Microsoft Endpoint manager.
2. Go to devices and configuration profiles:

Font

3. Click on create profile:

4. Set the profile name, set the plaform, the configuration type and click on create:

The new configuration profile is now created. After that, there are 3 options available:
Properties
Settings
Assignment

You can use the properties option to change the name and description for configuration profile.
The settings option is for the ADMX settings.
With the assignment option you can add the profile to users or devices.

Example for Microsoft Office 365 Outlook

Firstly I will start with Outlook since this application has the most impact for the most users.
I would start with these options:
Automatically configure profile based on Active Directory Primary SMTP address once. – “Set to enabled”
Disable First Run Movie – “Set to enabled”
Disable Office First Run on application boot – “Set to enabled”
Calendar week numbers.- “Set to enabled”
Turn off Coming Soon – “Set to enabled”
Disable Opt-in Wizard on first run – “Set to enabled”
Disable shared mail folder caching – “Set to enabled”
Download shared non-mail folders – “Set to disabled”
I would disable the shared folder caching because Outlook doesn’t handle this well when multiple users make a lot of changes to same mailbox. For example: When 5 users work in the same shared mailbox and they catagorize e-mail, it takes a while to sync when using cache mode. If you don’t use cache mode for the shared mailboxes the changes are visible instantly for all 5 users.
It is always possible to configure more options. The option that I suggest form a basic configuration for Outlook which I find fitting for our users. There are always specific cases for clients.

Example for Microsoft Office 365 OneDrive

Secondly we are going to configure OneDrive via a policy. In addition, I would advise you to create a seperate policy for OneDrive since not all users can or may use OneDrive.
I would start with these options:
Coauthor and share in Office desktop apps – “Set to enabled”
Disable the tutorial that appears at the end of OneDrive Setup – “Set to enabled”
Prevent users from changing the location of their OneDrive folder – “Set to enabled”
Prevent users from redirecting their Windows known folders to their PC – “Set to enabled”
Require users to confirm large delete operations – “Set to enabled”
Silently move Windows known folders to OneDrive – “Set to enabled” (Don’t forget to enter your tenant ID)
Silently sign in users to the OneDrive sync client with their Windows credentials – “Set to enabled”
Use OneDrive Files On-Demand – “Set to enabled”
These options form a nice basis for the OneDrive configuration and help the user get rid of all the first run movies and such. Furthermore these policy’s help protect their data and help them to collaborate with their co-workers.

Conclusion

We have created a new configuration profile for Windows 10 devices which we use to configure Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft OneDrive. I have shown some examples and elaborated on that.
In conclusion, I think you will agree that configuration profiles are a nice addition for Microsoft Intune and if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask.

Symptoms

After you install a font into the Fonts folder in the operating system and start Microsoft Word for Mac, the font unexpectedly is not available in the Font dialog box, in the drop-down list, or in the Formatting Palette.

Cause

Third-party fonts are not directly supported in Microsoft Office for Mac applications. Some third-party fonts may work in one application and not in another. Other third-party fonts are installed in a 'family'. A family usually consists of the third-party font itself together with some or all of its variations (bold, italic, and so forth). Sometimes, a font may be displayed in Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Excel, or Microsoft Entourage, but you may be unable to use one of its variations, such as italic.

Office does not support custom fonts. This includes any fonts that were manipulated by a font or typography program.

Note

Microsoft Office for Mac technical support does not provide support for installing or configuring third-party fonts.

Basic font troubleshooting

If the following methods don't resolve your font issue, contact the font manufacturer or the website from which you purchased the fonts.

First, restart your computer, and then test the font again. Some installations are not complete until the computer is restarted. This also makes sure that all applications are restarted after the installation.

Method 1

  1. Clear the font caches. To do this, quit all Microsoft Office applications. On the Home menu, click Go > Applications, and then click Apple's Font Book.

  2. On the Edit menu, click Select Duplicated Fonts.

  3. On the Edit menu, click Resolve Duplicates.

  4. To remove all the fonts from the computer that Font Book just disabled, follow these steps:

    1. After the duplicates have been resolved, select each disabled font, click File > Reveal in Finder, and then drag it to the trash.
    2. You may notice that Font Book sometimes turns off the newer copy of the font instead of the older one. If you prefer the newer copy, drag the older one to the trash, and then re-enable the new one.

  5. Restart the computer. Apple OS X will rebuild its font cache, and Word will rebuild its font cache from that.

  6. For best performance in Word, try to run with all your fonts enabled all the time. Each time that Word starts, it compares its font cache with the system font cache. If the two don't match, Word will regenerate its own font cache, which can take a few seconds. If you have dynamically enabled fonts, the system font cache will appear different nearly every time that Word runs this comparison.

  7. You must do this every time you install an update, because the Microsoft installer tries to restore the disabled fonts each time.

Method 2

Restart the computer in Safe mode. Then, restart the computer normally. For more information about how to restart your computer in Safe mode, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
