Peyton Young Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 Hi Everyone! We are looking to deploy a script to all of our laptops/desktops that will add a Trusted Location to both Excel and Access. It does this by changing Registry values on the users profile. Unfortunately, we are running into an issue though. When I test the script using PowerShell ISE, everything works perfectly. When I try deploying the script via Pulseway RMM Tasks, it will say the script deployment was "successful" but when I remote into the end user's computer, the Registry Editor won't show any changes being made to the Trusted Locations for either program. After searching through the forums, I found someone who ran into a similar issue. The answer to that question was exactly what I found on the end user's where the registry values had been changed for the .DEFAULT user. This leads us to my question: What is a workaround to this issue? Is there a change to the script that can be made or is this simply a limitation of Pulseway? SCRIPT: $trustedPath = "C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Security-Photos" $excelPath = "HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Excel\Security\Trusted Locations" New-Item -Path $excelPath -Name "Location1" -Force | Out-Null Set-ItemProperty -Path "$excelPath\Location1" -Name "Path" -Value $trustedPath Set-ItemProperty -Path "$excelPath\Location1" -Name "AllowSubfolders" -Value 1 $accessPath = "HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Access\Security\Trusted Locations" New-Item -Path $accessPath -Name "Location1" -Force | Out-Null Set-ItemProperty -Path "$accessPath\Location1" -Name "Path" -Value $trustedPath Set-ItemProperty -Path "$accessPath\Location1" -Name "AllowSubfolders" -Value 1
