A really cool feature of Analysis Office 2.5 can you see in the "backend" under File >> Analysis. The function Customize Analysis offers now new options. Besides the Customize User Interface from Analysis Office 2.4 which allows you to change the ribbon menu of Analysis Office, you now can directly modify the technical settings of Analysis Office.
With the function Technical Configuration you can modify all setting parameters from the file system settings.
This is nice, because several properties could be edit while Excel with Analysis Office Addin is open and you don't have to search for the parameter files in the file system. You have a little search bar on the top. The only thing what I am missing is that there is a direct link to a help file oder something similar to see what the property does. Maybe someone from SAP reads this and add this feature for a future release.

Hi,
the only thing I think at the moment is, that you haven't to close your Excel and the settings are applied "on the fly". But as you, I don't see the "real" feature here.

Hi Tobias
Is it possible to set these parameters using VBA?
Thanks!

Hi Matthias,
no that is not possible, but you can build a master file and distribute it through your IT Department (and set the settings to machine and not user specific.)
I hope this will help you.

Hi Tobias,
I'm unfamiliar with "Building a master file". Could you elaborate?
I'm looking to have specific settings (eg disabling UseSapUILandscapeComApi) setup for 200+ users .
Thanks!

Hi Charlie,
you could build (or create) a new Ao_app.config (Stored in the ProgramData Folder) with your desired settings and then distrubute them via your Windows AD to all users.
