Hello andrew87 ,
The installation process for Office suite remains the same even if it is a load balanced environment, So you will have to install office on all the load balanced servers, you can put the setup files on a file share to avoid downloading the setup files again. The idea behind SharedComputerLicensing is to install an inactivated version of office on the server, the activation basically kicks in when the user logs in and ends when the user logs out; leaving behind an inactivated version of office for the next user to activate when he logs in. Here is an overview from MS for better understanding : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/overview-shared-computer-activation
Thanks
- andrew87Oct 03, 2020Copper ContributorThank you, I've tested O365 deployed on RDS server but when users open Office365 it asks to logon 365 account.
On our RDS server we use domain account synchronized to Exchange On Line so is there a method to use SSO on Office365 and can log in automatically for all users?- SeanMcAvinueOct 03, 2020MVPYep,
The feature you're looking for is Seamless SSO

ADFS SSO could also work but AAD S-SSO is easier and more efficient- andrew87Oct 06, 2020Copper ContributorThank you AdminSean,
with ADFS (Hybrid) now activation it works without user interaction for activating Office, but when they open Outlook it asks credential login and if they insert mail and password it works but how can I avoid to show this form?
It shouldn't authenticate with SSO ?
