I totally got this working. I can't find my documented info but here's a brieg outline that I remember correctly:

 

I may have went one step further and enabled seamless sign on (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/connect/active-directory-aadconnect-sso-quick-start)

 

Here is my particular config file (Has some exclusions):

 

<Configuration>

<Add OfficeClientEdition="32" Channel="Current">
<Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
<Language ID="en-us" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />
<ExcludeApp ID="OneDrive" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Outlook" />
</Product>
</Add>
<Display AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
<Property Name="SharedComputerLicensing" Value="1" />
<Property Name="PinIconsToTaskbar" Value="FALSE" />
<Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" />
</Configuration>

Hi Keegan,

 

Regarding Seamless Single Signon, there are some issues in combination with shared computer activation.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/connect/active-directory-aadconnect-troubleshoot-sso

 

Starting Office clients, especially in shared computer scenarios, causes extra sign-in prompts for users. Users must enter their usernames frequently, but not their passwords.

 

Best regards,

Ruud Gijsbers
