It feels contradictory to talk about these super locked down environments when "lock down Excel macros" in my view comes first if you're trying to secure an environment. I deal with before dealing with local administrator access such is the prevalence of it being exploited.

I know a small business owner that says one of his top security threats is Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel docs attached to emails that try to infect / phish credentials. He has fully disabled all macros on all regular employee computers. He said that it is a real battle. Sometimes I miss the good old days (15+ years ago) when the Internet was a less threatening place!
