Hello,
We are currently planning to roll out Office 2013 as part of an Office 365 deployment to roughly 1500 users. My issue is that I cannot force a version downgrade of Office 365 Pro Plus using the Office Deployment Toolkit.
Here's where I am at:
I am currently in the process of configuring an automated Office 2013 installation using the Microsoft Office Deployment Kit, a central file share for installation and updates and Group Policy start-up script for installing Office. Please note, most users do
not have administrative access to their machines. So the GPO I am using is run as a computer policy and using the System account.
So far so good, Office installs and updates as expected from the internal source. However I cannot force Office to downgrade to a previous version.
I tried all possible combinations of specifying the lower version number in the configuration.xml, in the Office 2013 admx policies, etc. No matter what I try, the client won't downgrade. I tried using the Update Now function in office and also the setup.exe /configure from ODT.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Basil
