I have a server that I manage but I don’t have Domain Administrator rights. I needed to load the latest Office 2016/365 Group Policy Objects so I could set custom trust paths for all users for Access 2016. Here’s what I did:

1. 1. Download the Microsoft Office 2016/365 Group Policy Files (Administrative Template Files ADMX/ADML): https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49030
   2. Download the appropriate package. I have Office 2016 32bit installed; I downloaded the 32bit package.
   3. Run the installer – point it to where you want the files extracted to. I had my files extract to c:\users\<myuser>\Downloads
   4. Copy the contents of the “ADMX” folder.

      

   5. Browse to C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitionsPaste the files here. I was not promoted to overwrite any files.
   6. I ran GPUpdate /Force (is this needed for local files? Can’t remember, don’t think it is needed).
   7. Run the Local Group Policy Editor, GPEDIT.MSC
   8. I found my new policies listed and I got busy creating my trusted locations for Microsoft Access.
