Default standard rate
Supported on SUPPORTED_Windows7 (defined in the Windows templates)
What it does
Specifies the standard pay rate for new resources. If you enable this setting, all new resources will use the specified standard pay rate. If you disable or do not configure this setting, the user's default setting is used.
What it writes
- Hive
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER
- Registry key
software\policies\microsoft\office\16.0\ms project\options\general
Why it needs changes for Intune
- Policy references a Windows supportedOn definition.

- The OMA-URI is an inferred ADMX-backed Policy CSP candidate derived from the source ADMX file name and policy name.
- Some Microsoft policies use built-in Policy CSP pages whose area names don't match the ADMX file name, so verify the candidate against Microsoft Learn before deployment.
