I been looking for a way to implement on some users in our company a GPO that will add a trusted location to excel, because people are having problems with macros. I found some people talking about it online but it didn't help me doing want i wanted. Is there a way of making this or i just have to add it manually to all the computers that need it. This only happens with one file that is in our server and alot of people in the company use it.

This is the menu where i am adding the path manually and would like it to add it with a GPO in our server. (For reference its a Windows server 2019)
