How to run Office 2000 on a locked-down system
This article was previously published under Q249345 SUMMARY When you install Microsoft Office 2000 on a computer that
is running Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0 or Microsoft Windows
2000 Professional, you can secure the computer by using Group Policy in Windows
2000, or by using the Security Configuration Manager as part of Service Pack 4
or later for Windows NT Workstation 4.0. This article contains information about locking down Microsoft Office 2000. MORE INFORMATION If you need to enhance security on a computer that is
running Office 2000, use the security templates of the Security Configuration
Manager of Windows NT 4.0 or Group Policy of Windows 2000. The Security Configuration Manager can be downloaded as part of the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0.

Downloading and Using the Security Configuration Manager Tool
Group Policy is included with Windows 2000. For more information
about Group Policy in Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, browse to the
following Microsoft Web site: http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/2/f/52f3dbd6-2864-4d97-8792-276544ad6426/grouppolwp.doc (http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/2/f/52f3dbd6-2864-4d97-8792-276544ad6426/grouppolwp.doc) NOTE: The security templates of the Security Configuration Manager and
of Group Policy will always err to the side of security. This means that in
some cases, Office 2000 programs may not function as you want without manually
customizing the default template settings.
