[ms office - 2019] AD Activation of Office 2019

[howartp]

Hi.

 

We're testing Win10 and Office 2019 at the moment.

 

I've raised our domain functional level (in prep for Exchange upgrade next week) and enabled AD activation inc all the KMS Host keys etc into AD.

 

The Win10 PCs have automatically activated against it as they build.

 

Office 2019 activates ok against AD, if I go into VAMT and tell it to. But otherwise, presently, it's showing as not activated if I start up Word.

 

Does anyone know if Office is supposed to activate itself to AD automatically after install, or maybe 24 hours later, next launch, every Sunday, .....? Or do I need to schedule in a slmgr task to do it?

In the customisation tool there is an option to automatically activate when using a MAK so I’d guess there is a similar option for KMS.

 

The MAK option defaults to off

Ah, we’re using RM’s CC4 pack so I’ll see if there’s anything in there.
