Centrally manage “Sharepoint Sites” in Office 2010

Question

It is possibile by group policy or other means, to customize the list of "Sharepoint Sites" that the user view on the Office 2010 Open menù ? I don't think my users are able to do this on their own... I have googled but so far no clear answer or paper.

Thanks Michele

Answer 1

The most common way is to use the Personalization Site Links from within the User Profile Service Application. Once the user has first visited their MySite and set this MySite as the default, the links defined here will be propogated into the SharePoint Sites option in the open and save dialog.

For more information on adding links see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262973.aspx

You should be able to push out the default MySite location to users by using the registry key in the following article: http://paulliebrand.com/2011/09/27/set-as-default-my-site-sharepoint-sites-or-my-sharepoint-sites-missing-in-office-2010-on-sharepoint-2007/
