To be honest I didnt factor in removing office 2019 as we'll only be using fresh images. Thanks for including that I've managed to use cmd's/bat's for other software so I carried on with that approach. It just wasn't working in this instance. It is now though 😁😁

3. Create BAT script. I've saved and run this from the server locationbut refer to the C drive exe and config IF EXIST "C:\Program Files\MicrosoftOffice\root\Office16\WINWORD.EXE" GOTO:end"C:\NETWORK\resources\Office 2021\setup.exe" /configure"C:\NETWORK\resources\Office 2021\config.xml":end 4. Create a GPO Comp Config > Preferences > Control Panel Settings > Scheduled Tasks 5. In the same GPO I also set Computer Config > Admin Templates >System > Logon - Alwayswait for the network at computer start up and login = enabled I hope this helps. I've found that Win 11 gets youto the login screen whether or not scripts are running. You'll be able to seeif it's working by logging in and either waiting for the shortcuts to appear orkeep an eye on the task manager.

1.Download Office from VLSS. Extract and copy the setup.exe to a folder on Cdrive. (We've got a folder that robocopies start menus, icons, etc. So I just put it in there) REM COPY START MENU robocopy "\\server\dfslayouts$\2022 Build\Resources" c:\Network\Resources /SEC /MIR REM UNBLOCK FILES JUST COPIEDpowershell -Command "& {dir c:\network -Recurse | Unblock-File}"powershell -Command "& {dir 'c:\program data\microsoft\windows\start menu' -Recurse | Unblock-File}" 2. Config File. I also robocopy this in the same folder. You may want to rejig this for yourself. I'll probably make tweaks also but working at the moment (If it ain't broke....) I've saved it as an xml

Deploying as a scheduled task works! Shout out to Connor @ St Mary's Catholic High School for the advise and figuring it out.

I've robocopied the setup.exe and config file to a folder on the cdrive and ran a script that should run the setup file at start up. I've tried running from the server also where all of our software is launching from and that's not working either. Im currently testing a Scheduled task recommended by another technician.
-
My test machine is a laptop but it's currently cabled while I do the build so I can fit it on my desk. It's worth a go though
-
Comp GPO so it deploys during start up. (May be that it's just not possible) Checked through wsus and the policy is definitely applying, its just not launching the exe. The script there was the windows builder config created through their website. I've started using this one; Still no joy. It may be just that it's not possible through a start up script. It definitely works manually.
-
I wanted it run as a a start up script as that's what I've had before with 19 and previous. I dont know why this one is so awkward to deploy.
-
Currently trying no joy; "\\server\software\NETWORK\Office 2021\setup.exe" /configure "\\server\software\NETWORK\Office 2021\Configuration.xml"
-
Definitely! setup.exe /configure "\\server\software\NETWORK\Office 2021\Configuration.xml" Current Batch file (Changed a LOT through testing) config - very little changed by me, generated by the Microsoft config generator
-
Yes sorry, caught the backslashes changing the name setup.exe /configure "\\server\software\NETWORK\Office 2021\Configuration.txt"
-
Sorry should have mentioned, done that too What version of windows have you used?

Hi all Has anyone managed actually install office 2021 via GPO? Quite helpfully there is no msi for it... Im currently using the following script; setup.exe /configure "Server\software\NETWORK\Office 2021\Configuration.txt" I've tried booting from the network and I've tried booting locally. I've tried bat and powershell. Frustratingly the scripts run for other software packages and if I click them manually. And help would be greatly appreciated Chris

Thanks for the Reply Luckily we are both so that shouldn't be an issue. What the issue seems to be is that the other mailbox is filling up (even though we're using outlook to send/receive) which is stopping it from working. We had forwarders set up so we didn't have to use the webmail on the website but it still filled up as the sent box was filling up as much as the inbox. I'd like the other company to stop hosting so we can all just use outlook. We'll probably look into education plans etc. once we expand but the 5GB of storage each is more than enough at the moment as we're quite small. 150MB is a bit on the small side though. I just don't want to tell them to stop hosting only to find that the email stops working Thanks

Hi All I've just joined an organisation where their email addresses are hosted by the same company who are hosting their website. The mailbox provided is something like 150 MB and fills up almost every week but the company will charge ridiculous for additional storage Using the same email address, I've opened an account with outlook (mostly for the 5GB of storage) and wondered whether I could get the other company to stop hosting our mailbox without it closing the account or preventing emails coming through. I've never had any issue with Outlook and would probably end up buying additional Onedrive storage for the company provided their inboxes didn't suddenly stop working. Sorry if this is a dense question. I've sort of been handed this and haven't been in a situation with such a small mailbox before. Thanks
