Office 365 installer on VDI

Hello All,

 

looking for the answer but might just be that cannot find it. Is there a way to install office i am assuming from the deployment tool. So that each user that logs in to there vdi session has office installed.

 

thanks

    Hello,

    I'm not 100% on this, however I believe the idea is to install the preconfigured "shared computer activation" version of Office 365 onto each of your hosts.  This special version of Office 365 Pro allows for more than one user on the system to activate their respective "copies" of Office 365.

    This link might prove useful: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/overview-of-shared-computer-activation-for-office-365-proplus

     

    It's also covered in the Azure Windows Virtual Desktop information here I believe:
