[ms office - 2016] Packaging up "Office 365" for deployment?

[Sam_Brown]

Hi All,

 

In the process of moving to O365 and currently building new rooms so looking for the best way to package up "Office 365". Seeing a lot of contradictory articles out there. Some suggesting just packaging up Office 2016 as you would for a normal install and others suggesting needing to create a custom "Click to Run" install. Dates vary on the articles so wondering what the best practice was these days.

 

Also any gotchas to be wary of for making sure users can just log into windows and have "Office 365" activated based on their domain logon (will be setting up ADFS and setting the correct UPN for their account).

I think what you need is to deploy the click to run version using Office Deployment Tool. This is the version that will activate once signed in with a licensed account. Office 2016 install via iso(MSI version)only works with KMS/VL activation.
