I feel like this one is probably super easy.

I feel like I'm over thinking this and it's super simple but it's not working the way I would do it normally.

Office for Mac Beta came out today, I'm sure you all know. I need to not allow my user base to download and install it, since...for whatever reason, these people like to go rogue and do whatever they want.

I saw this shortly after posting. Glad I'm not the only one looking at this.
