So is MS_CONFIGURATIONOPTS no longer works the way it supposed to starting from U17? The variable usage is still available in U17 help:

Allows you to control the creation or selection of WorkSpaces and WorkSets from the respective drop-down lists in the Work page. Following are the options for this configuration variable:
How can CAD admins reinstate the function of MS_CONFIGURATIONOPTS in U17?

In U17, to disable the option Create WorkSpace and WorkSet, place this variable in the CFG file WorkSpaceSetup.cfg (not in Standards.cfg).E.g., in the CFG file C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation CONNECT Edition\Configuration\WorkSpaceSetup.cfg add the lineMS_CONFIGURATIONOPTS = DisallowCreatingWorkSpace,DisallowCreatingWorkSet
This worked for me - moving MS_CONFIGURATIONOPTS to our WorkSpaceSetup.cfg for MicroStation CONNECT - which we have configured on the network (with our workspaces)!
We have not been moving users to MS-CE UD 17 due to this issue!
I tried this suggestion - and it works for me (sorry I did not see it sooner)
Thanks Kees van Prooijen!
