Upgrade Click to Run Version Older than 15.0.4569.1507

August 17, 2014, 3:41 pm

We currently have an Office 365 installation older than 15.0.4569.1507 on all our SOEs

These SOEs are managed by Windows Intune & we want to manage the Office updates ourselves.

We've created an Intune package that we know executes correctly with the configuration.xml file

We have downloaded that latest version  15.0.4641.1002 (Aug2014) and have placed the download in a network share.

My configuration.xml file looks like this

<Configuration>

<Add SourcePath="\\Domain.com\Distribution\Intune\Updates\O365" OfficeClientEdition="32">     

<Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">      

<Language ID="en-us" />     

</Product>    

</Add>    

<Updates Enabled="TRUE" UpdatePath="\\Domain.com\Distribution\Intune\Updates\O365" />    

<Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />    

<Logging Level="Standard" Path="C:\" />

<!--  <Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" />  -->

</Configuration>

So, when I deploy the setup.exe /configure configure.xml It does not update Office.

The exe has successfully run as I can see the log file

Even the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX64folder does not contain the officeclicktorun.exe

Not sure if I have to update first to version 15.0.4569.1507 first or what.

Any help will be appreciated

Archive Mailbox Retention Policies

Hello everyone!

I am looking at enabling archive mailboxes for our Office 365 users. When this happens, the default retention policy applies to the user which archives various directories at various time settings.

Is there a way to create a retention policy (or even edit the default policy) so that no items are archived - enabling me to apply an acrhive mailbox but allow users to manually control what gets placed there?

Thanks in advance for any assistance with this.

It is possible to disable SkyDrive, right?

Hi,

Office 2013 prominently gives users the option to save to SkyDrive - if they have a Microsoft (Hotmail, Live, XBox etc) account they just need to enter a username and password and they are away, nice and easy.

Unfortunately, and I'm sure I'm not alone here, company policy forbids the use of cloud services on information security grounds.

The only GPO setting I can find relating to this is User Configuration/Policies/Administrative Templates/Microsoft Office 2013/Miscellaneous/Show SkyDrive Sign in

Unfortunately, this doesn't fully remove access to SkyDrive. Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Tim

OneDrive for Business sync app when using Office 2010

May 1, 2014, 7:09 pm

Hi,

My clients use Office 2010. They all have SharePoint Workspace installed as well, thought, they don't use it.

As part of new SharePoint 2013 on-premise roll-out, I have to find a method to silently install OneDrive for Business into clients machines, without disruption to the use of Office 2010. They will use OneDrive for business to sync their team sites libraries and their personal site library.

So far, I have no success.

What I tried:

-Standalone OneDrive Pro client exe Setup.x86.en-us_GrooveRetail_3V9N8-W93CC-FQPB8-Y9WVF-TVGJ3_TX_PR_.exe

It seems there is no way to run it silently anyway. Is there?

basically, this package still connects to the internet to download modules and it prompts user for some interaction while installing. I NEED IT SILENT.

-Building OCT package out of Office 2013 installation media. I selected to only install Groove(OneDrive) and leave existing Office product intact. Then I run it from setup.exe /adminfile //location/onlygroove.MSP

It provisions SkyDrive Pro client (note the name, I used Office 2013 without SP1 media)

Problems with that:

1.After installing Office 2013 SP1, client name is still SkyDrive Pro 2013, but sync folder actually changed, some other user interface places are also updated

2.After silent run, Office 2010 experience problems: Outlook 2010 crushes on start 3 times, then it attempts to run repair, Repair will fix outlook, but it also sets SharePoint workspace as a default client for sync. Running Office 2013 repair will break Outlook again. The solution is to uninstall SharePoint workspace, then run Office 2013 repair, then Office 2010 repair again - this way I have SkyDrive Pro as a sync app and Outlook 2010 working.

As you see, I have problems with having seamless silent OneDrive for Business sync app installation. Even asking clients to install it manually would be too hard for them. Annoying thing is that if you click the exe file to run, it takes about 2 minutes before user sees anything happening on a screen. I can see users getting confused if they actually initiated a process of not!

What am I missing ?

Any other way to provision it in bulk to my users? Any help appreciated.

office 2013 app-v packages

In this article, http://blogs.windows.com/itpro/2013/12/02/announcing-mdop-2013-r2/   I see mention of an Office version called "Office 2013 ProPlus App-V Package".    Is this a download?  I don't see it available as one when I login to my VLSC site.  

We plan to install Office 2013 pro plus VLA LOCALLY (on C:) in our vdisk for virtual machines, but will want to stream Visio,Project,Access 2013 to our users' VMs, using App-V.    (We used to use Citrix XenApp to stream them)   In the Citrix world, "streaming" is the opposite of Publishing or Hosting (running the app ON the server). Streaming means it copies over the files to the user's C: drive on their VM when they launch the appl.  

Please advise.

I have office 365 Academic and downloaded BCM. I've installed and used it for a few days. Now it stopped working, I can still see the link, but it's kind of frozen.

Is Business Contact Manager supposed to work for Office 365 Academic and if yes, how can I fix the problem.

If no, can I purchase it with a one-time payment and kind of download it from the web or do I need to change the plan and pay monthly?

Here's my plan: 

Yammer for Academic 
The latest desktop version of Office 
Lync Online (Plan 2) 
Office Online for Education 
SharePoint Plan 2 for EDU 
Exchange Online (Plan 2) 

Thanks for your help, 

Kind regards.

Need Help! Ospprearm.exe not working with Windows 8 and Micorsoft Office 2013

I am running 64 bit win 8 and office 2013.  I searched in my whole PC and I found Ospprearm.exe in this location C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15

That was the only place I found ospprearm.exe.  When I opened it I got this error

There was an error when trying to rearm Office. You can try passing the SKU Id as a parameter. Passing the SKU ID is necessary if you are relying on activation to permit an additional rearm. Error: 0xc004f025

On a computer running Microsoft non-core edition, run 'slui.exe 0x2a 0xc004f025' to display the error text

I haven't rearmed Microsoft Office before with this technique before.  


I really Don't know what happend.

Hi Guys,

So we recently moved to 8.1 & ive started finding an issue where a task labelled "csisyncclient.exe"-initially i thought it may just be onedrive pulling files in & out which is a syncing activity. then obviously those files would need to be locally indexed & then my CPU should go back down, however even with onedrive inactive, its replicating this task literally 100's of times...my CPU & Memory are at no lower than 98% at any given time. Ive tried ending tasks & even killing process trees but every time i kill one, 5 more pop up in its place...can anyone help me with what im now calling the OneDrive Hydra issue? I read some articles but the options listed simply arent there in my version of onedrive...

Thanks a mil! :)

Problems deploying Lync 2013 to Windows 7 clients

August 28, 2014, 8:10 am

I am running into an interesting issue.  I have manually installed Lync on several systems in our office by just running the setup and walking through the installer prompts with out issue.  I have tried to make a silent automatic installer by running the setup.exe /admin command and setting up a .msp via the OCT.  The only things I have changed in the OCT is to put an organizational name in, under licensing and user interface accepting the license agreement and setting the display level to none, which checks supress modal.

I have checked under the Configure shortcuts section of OCT and all but the two Telementry shortcuts are marked Yes under the Installed column.

I save out of this and put the msp file in the x86 updates folder as I downloaded the 32bit Lync 2013 software.

If I manually install Lync on a computer by removing the MSP file from the update folder Lync installs fine.  If I remove Lync and install it silently with the msp file in the x86 updates folder after the install finishes I have shortcuts for Office 2013 Language Preferences and Office 2013 upload center but I do not have shortcuts to Lync 2013 or Lync Recording Manager in the start menu.  If I look under I do not see Lync anywhere under the Office folders.

I am trying to install this on a client running Win7 64bit.  I have a mix of 64bit and 32bit clients I ultimately will be deploying this to using SCCM 2012.  I have followed the guide here http://www.ronnipedersen.com/configmgr-2012-guides/ in setting up a SCCM deployment.  I get the same results if I install via the SCCM deployment or manually run setup.  If I include the OCT msp file it does not appear that the acutal application ever installs.

WSUS and Office 2013 Home and Business

Hello all,

I've actually set up Microsoft MDT 2013 to deploy OSes and Application for my company. This includes Office 2013 Home and Business (Click-2-Run version).

I've downloaded O2013 media with Office Deployment Toolkit, customized it to be deployed automatically through a network share, and then made it available through MDT 2013.

Everything runs fine, except one thing : Our WSUS server offers Office 2013 updates to our windows clients. It becomes very painfull, as  it takes a loooong time to apply theses updates. Moreover, there are useless.

3 points : 

  • On my Office 2013 H&B customization file, I've decided to disable any Office 2013 update through the XML File. Without success.

<Updates Enabled="FALSE" />

  • According to Microsoft, Click-2-Run software does not use WSUS channel.
  • I don't know it it's usefull, but my WSUS server is hosted on a Windows 2008 R2 Server.

Thanks for your help.

Caching updates to Office 2013 C2R after initial deployment

September 9, 2014, 6:44 am

Hello,

I've looked extensively to try to find out if anyone has posted a similar query previously to no avail.

I'm currently working on an Office 365 ProPlus deployment for a 7000+ PC estate across 7+ locations. The initial deployment of Office 2013 is being performed using SCCM 2007 of a package that has been created using ODT. Post deployment we want to keep Office evergreen, hence the use of C2R. Our plan is to use take updates from the standard location - officecdn.Microsoft.com. However, in order to limit the amount of network / Internet bandwith consumed by PC's connecting to the corporate proxy server when on the LAN we'd like to cache the updates on the proxy. The tests that have been performed to date have shown that update files are cached from officecdn.Microsoft.com as a result of the first connecting PC. However, subsequent requests from other PC's result in more files being cached and more files being requested from officecdn.Microsoft.com. This is leading me to believe that the cached files are not being used and new requests are being made to officecdn.Microsoft.com. We deduce this by the fact that the overall size of the cache has grown by 10's of MB and significant traffic requests are still being made to officecdn.

My question is this: Has anyone tried to cache Office 2013 C2R updates on a proxy server? What did you experience?

Thanks,

I would like to know if there is a way to create a custom template for sequential project task list / check list. I have created a template for a custom project with standard tasks for the template, however I 'am unable to keep them in order. Is there a way to customize the list sequentially rather than by start and end date ?
