Installation went smooth and users started using the office for their day to work.Īll looks good from user point of view but when it comes to managing this office proplus with updates ,you need to understand how it works and what are the settings applied on the on PC for proplus.Īfter the proplus installed on many computers, we started noticing the office 365 update section in SCCM (software library –office 365 client management-office 365 updates ) for patching and found that, some of the clients are reporting update status but majority of them are reporting unknown as shown below.īy the way ,we are going with semi-annual channel as we do not want to update proplus every month hence we look at semi-annual channel updates only for deployment.Īfter looking at the unknown status with bigger count ,i started looking at clients chassis type as some of them are working good but majority are not. So proplus installed on all these machines using SCCM. I will write blog post on how to use these 2 scripts and create application to install proplus and what are the GPO settings you need to consider for this proplus for performance issues,patching mechanism etc.Ĭoming to this blog post, we have mixed environment which includes laptops ,desktops and VDI (virtual desktop infra) machines.

Using these 2 scripts,you can fully automate the installation office 365 proplus by removing the old versions (2007,2010,20 MSI based ) of office and install cloud version. I have created application using powershell app deployment toolkit in combination with offscrub scripts from Microsoft. Traditional Office installations were tied to the computers they were installed on.įew months ago ,we have started rolling out office 365 proplus (cloud version) using Configmgr Current Branch. Office 365 ProPlus is a user-based service that allows people to access Office experiences on up to 5 PCs or Macs and on their mobile devices. It is productivity software (including Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, OneNote, Publisher, Access, Skype for Business) that is installed on your desktop or laptop computer. Office 365 ProPlus is one of the subscription service plans in the new Office.
