We want to upgrade our 200+ clients to Office 2013 but I have encountered 2 major issues.
The first is that we have multiple sites with slow network links (less than 512k) so I need to be able to install and update from the local file server. All our file servers have an install share mapped to I: that replicates from a central location every day which is where the install files are located.
Problem is I seem to have to specify the server name for the configuration XML file to work. I have tried using the %LOGONSERVER% environment variable but this hasn't worked. I could create an xml file for each sit but I'd rather avoid it as sometimes we move computers around and I don't want them trying to update from another site and flooding the WAN link.
The second is that as we have slow links and large inboxes I need to find a way to move the email from the users 2010 inbox into their 2013 inbox. When I update to 2013 it downloads them all again. I can export from 2010 then import into 2013 but this just adds it as an additional inbox.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
