Shared Templates for Domain Users

[arlomiller_rocks]

I am trying to figure out how, ideally with GPOs/scripts, to make it so that all of my domain users will have their templates populated by all the templates that we save into a shared SMB folder. Have been striking out big time on it.

Current approach is like this:
LibreOffice Template Discovery:

• LibreOffice reads template search paths from registrymodifications.xcu (XML config)

• The DirectoryList setting specifies which folders to scan for templates

• We add file:///E:/Libre%20Templates to this list

• LibreOffice automatically scans this folder at startup and shows all .ott files

• New templates appear automatically - no re-registration needed

Previous Failed Approaches:

• ADMX policy - only sets SAVE location, not scan location

• Copying files to \user\template\ - files aren’t registered in XML

======

Any recommendations on how this can be done|?
