Deploy Office 365 and uninstall stand-alone office at once?
Does anyone have a process to push Office 365 while removing older versions of stand-alone office (2016 or 2019) as part of that process? The deploy packages for Office 365 can have a remove option ...
Hi TomCSB​,
The easiest workaround is to package the Office Deployment Tool (ODT) as a Win32 app in Intune.
That way you can add a short PowerShell script to clean up any existing Office installs before running the new one.
Quick flow:
- Script removes old Office (Click-to-Run or MSI).
- ODT installs Microsoft 365 Apps using your XML config).
Gives you full control and works much more reliably than the built-in remove option.
