[ms office - 2016] Microsoft Office 2016 for RM CC4 Network

[tj2419]

Bit late to the game I know but has anyone got a guide for creating a working office 2016 package for a CC4 network or have a package they can share? (Big ask I know).

 

I know they do a package ready made but its £400 just wondered if anyone did it themselves?

 

Cheers

..I bought the package...works brilliantly with all tick boxes and registry settings waiting for you within the RM console.

 

Do I think its worth £400?....probably not ….. but certainly worth £200....

First of all I will say this may not be ideal as it was originally only supposed to be very temporary however the funding for our new server wasn't available so it has had to last a year and or so longer than originally anticipated. It's a while ago and I didn't document it very well but the procedure as far as I can recall was:-

 

• Installed the Office 2016 KMS host on the server and added our key. (does RM version use MAK?)
  
• Created an MSP file for Office 2016 ProPlus which in my case I called Office2016v1.MSP. Main thing I did with MSP was to prevent OneDrive client installing iirc. Saved MSP file in root of Office setup folder alongside Setup.exe.
  
• Imported Office as a CC3 application
  
• Edited package. In 'Contents' tab under Command line arguments added '/adminfile Office2016v1.MSP' (without 's) to Installation box and '/uninstall ProPlus /config config.xml' to Uninstallation box. Then the usual stuff when importing a package like checked 'Contraints' tab to make sure appropriate OSes were ticked.
  
• To get round the issue of lack of registry options in management console I put a custom reg file into user policies. Didn't do all that much with that, was mainly to remove the message about updates when first opening a program. Should have perhaps done more if I'd known it was going to run for so long. Not noticed any issues though but we are just a primary school.
  

 

Hope that helps.
