- omaderemiJul 27, 2021Brass ContributorHello Rudy_Ooms_MVP, The organization assets library was a very good alternative to solve the problem of having all the templates deployed. thanks for the suggestion.
- omaderemiJul 15, 2021Brass ContributorThank you for the feedback, no we did not deploy the template via that method because we do not currently have the Office 365 E3 or E5 license. The templates were deployed via Microsoft intune using some PowerShell scripts.
- Jul 15, 2021Is it possible to share the url/path you configured in the powershell script? so aI can take a look at the wildcard issue
- omaderemiJul 15, 2021Brass ContributorThis is a summary of the steps that were followed
1. We uploaded the templates to a SharePoint site.
2. After we have our templates where we wanted them, we had to map the SharePoint site to the end-user devices so the files can be seen by Office. Intune does provide the ability to sync SharePoint libraries using an administrative template configuration profile, but most of the time the libraries do not sync, so we created a PowerShell script and assigned the script to map the SharePoint site on the end user’s device.
3. We used the browser to get the IDs we require from SharePoint to populate the script.
4. We then deployed the PowerShell Script using intune.
5. We created and assigned the configuration policy that points the office applications to the synced SharePoint site.
6. Next, we configured the workgroup templates path setting
7. Under the workgroup templates path setting, we pasted in the path to the templates. We found this path by opening up file explorer on the computer that has the SharePoint site synced, by browsing to the template location and copying the path from the URL bar. As this path will be unique for each other, we set the username portion of the URL to a wildcard value.
