Deploying Office 2016

[MadSmiler]

Hi everyone,

 

Been trying for the last hour to deploy office 2016 but I'm having no luck.

 

I would like office 2016 to be installed silently over the network while uninstalling Office 2013. Also for the product key to be activated within the installment.

 

If anyone has any ideas on how to do this that would be great.

 

*Tried*

-Office deployment tool

-Microsoft Proplus deployment

 

 

Thanks

 

Alex.

If at all possible, for activation of Office, (and Windows) I prefer to use a KMS server. I assume that you are running the Office customisation tool, and putting the licence key in the space provided?

Not sure how you are planning to deploy but you could script it or deploy using SCCM

i managed to create the package but now im trying to make a bat script to deploy.

 

Could someone tell me what i've done wrong in this?

 

start \\My-Server\Packages\office2016v2\setup.exe /adminfile office-custom-setup.msp

This is what I used for our Office 2016 deployment package (which works perfectly), obviously every ware it mentions office 2013 change it for 16!

If you are looking to activate, I have a little script for that (obvs this is for 2013 but it works for 16 with the appropriate path changes)

 

cd /d C:\program files (x86)\microsoft office\office15\
cscript ospp.vbs /act

Try putting in quotes.

 

"\\My-Server\Packages\office2016v2\setup.exe" /adminfile office-custom-setup.msp

[MadSmiler]

cd /d \\Myserver\Packages\office2016v2\setup.exe

cscript office-custom-setup.msp /act

 

This doesn't work :s

[Whisky]

Are you getting any error messages?

[MadSmiler]

Nothing, it just opens the CMD up and then closes it down. But nothing happens.

[Whisky]

edit your .bat file and put a pause in.

 

\\My-Server\Packages\office2016v2\setup.exe /adminfile office-custom-setup.msp

Pause

[MadSmiler]

I get an error message,

 

Path or file specified with /admimfile was not found or did not contain any patches.

[Whisky]

You might need to put your custom files in your office2016v2 folder.

[MadSmiler]

i have already O.O

[Whisky]

try running it without /adminfile but make sure you have a copy of your custom files in the updates folder. I think when you run setup.exe it will automatically look in the updates folder and then use the .msp you have created.

 

\\My-Server\Packages\office2016v2\setup.exe

Pause
