GPO to add digital certificate to trusted publishers list

Question

I have created a self-signed certificate for office documents. How do I make that certificate as a trusted publisher within office applications across my network via GPO?

Answer 1

Hi @Harish Parameswaran

In an ideal world you could install Active Directory Certificate Services.

However, to just push out a single certificate you can follow this guidance in this link. Putting the certificate in one of the trusted stores.

Hi @Harish Parameswaran ,

Please check whether JamieSabbatella 's suggestion is helpful.

Here is another references you could also have a look "Manage Trusted Root Certificates“.

Besides, as tags of Office focus more on general issue of Office clients, to better help you, I add a tag related to Group Policy.
Thanks for your understanding.
