Configration Profile to turn off Office setup

[macboy]

Any idea if there is a configuration profile I can use to turn off the Office 2011 asking for startup information? I would like to be able to this in a profile if possible. I know there is managed setting for it but I am trying to stay away from those since one doesn't know how much longer that is supported. Has anyone done this in configuration profile?

@timsutton created a mcx->profile converter that may be worth taking a look at:

Thanks watched the video and looks very easy to set up (just requires a lot of plist files to be used is all). This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the replies gentlemen. I appreciate it!
