Introduction

How to make sure that the Office-plugin stays enabled? For this, we make changes in the Windows registry. As an admin, you can make these changes. - Manually - automatically with a REG file - automatically with a Group Policy Object (GPO).

Then, users cannot deactivate the plugin themselves. Also, Outlook does not put off the plugin when a delay occurs.
