Office 2013 disable Wizard on First Run on computers in a workgroup


Recommended Posts

Posted

 

I have around 100 computers I need to deploy win10 on.

 

We deploy via Sccm and have several tweaks/install applications in the Sccm task sequence.

 

We are installing office 2013 via a task sequence (TS).

The problem is how to disable the "First Run" in office 2013.

 

The only way i can get it to work is to manually copy the ADMX and the ADML files into the correct folders.

 

STEP ONE: If you have not already, download the Office 2013 Administrative Template files. These can be downloaded from Download Office 2013 Administrative Template files (ADMX/ADML) and Office Customization Tool from Official Microsoft Download Center

 

STEP TWO: Copy the ADMX files to %systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions and the ADML files to the language specific folder (such as en-us) under %systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions.

STEP THREE: Using the Group Policy Management Editor go to User Configuration | Policies | Administrative Templates: Policy definitions | Microsoft Office 2013 | First Run

And then disable the Opt-in First Run in the GPedit.msc by hand.

I need at way to disable the settings in the GPedit via a script etc, so we can run it in the TS after copying the ADMX and ADLM files.
