Hey everyone! I've successfully set a default font and font size for domain users in Outlook using a registry file and deployed it via XML. I also managed to configure similar settings for OWA with PowerShell commands. Now, I'm hoping to take it a step further: I want to completely prevent users from changing the font and font size in both the Outlook Client and OWA, basically graying out that option. I've done a bit of digging but haven't found a straightforward method or article on this. Has anyone tackled this issue before? I'd really appreciate any insights!

A lot of people need to adjust their font sizes for better visibility, especially those with vision problems. It might be worth considering why you want to restrict that option. Have you talked to your team about this?
You can block certain features in Outlook if you have access to the control identifiers. Microsoft provides a list of these identifiers online. You can then use Group Policy to disable those options under Administrative Templates. Just keep in mind, it’s a bit trickier with OWA, as those settings might not translate directly.
Thanks for the tip! I hadn't found that info before, so it's super helpful!
Yeah, I can see how this might impact some folks who really need larger text. I think it’s important to find a compromise.
