Frustrated Over Forced Teams Installation
Thank you for the information. I'll have to wait until I have the time to sit down and actually do this. I was hoping Microsoft would be friendly and actually allow us to uninstall features we don't want. I didn't realize I would have to code my own install script. There was a time when a good old fashioned request to uninstall worked. And the only thing that didn't live up to that standard of professional character, we called a virus...
Here's what I found. If I wanted to exclude, I would need to use Deployment tool and add this .xml file info to configuration.xml file....
"<Configuration>
<Add OfficeClientEdition="64" Channel="Monthly">
<Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
<Language ID="en-us" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Teams" />
</Product>
<Product ID="VisioProRetail">
<Language ID="en-us" />
</Product>
<Product ID="ProjectProRetail">

<Product ID="LanguagePack">

</Add>
</Configuration>
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but the links you sent me showed me setting up a script that gave me varying options on installation control? Those varying methods required rewriting the install file... Correct? Or did I miss something?
- Yeah, basically all you need is to put teams under exclude:
There are tools online to help you out too with the configuration.xml, just google it 🙂
