# Enable Macros for Network Files

### Issue

Office Macros might be disabled when opening Files from Network Shares. These can't be enabled using the Regular Workflow

### Solution

1. Start `inetcpl.cpl` from Windows Search, Windows Run or CommandPrompt/PowerShell
2. Go to tab *Security*
3. In the Horizontal Scroll Menu, select *Local Intranet*
4. Click on Button *Sites*
5. Click on *Advanced*
6. Type your Server IP/DNS Name/Hostname into the Box and click *Add*
7. Close all Dialogues.

After this, you can now re-enable Macros even with Files from Network Shares.
