DTOO411 - The Office Feedback tool must be disabled.

Information

The 'Office Feedback' tool, also called 'Send-a-Smile', allows a user to click on an icon and send feedback to Microsoft. Applications used by DoD users should not be able to provide feedback to commercial vendors regarding their positive and negative experiences when using Office due to the potential of unintentionally revealing FOUO or other protected content.

Solution

Set the policy value for User Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Microsoft Office 2013 >> Privacy >> Trust Center >> 'Send Office Feedback' to 'Disabled'.
