Office 365 Pro Plus - Updating via GPO (without SCCM)
Hi We are also trying to do this. I made gpo with updates enabled /current/ update path. MY path is \\server\odt\ALLLang\Office\Data In that folder is have 1 folder with the version name and the dat file in it. and 2 cab files. Is it correct that i need to refer to this folder the data folder ?
Cause it doesnt seem to work now.
I have the gpo applied and checked in regedit the path is there but update isnt comming .
i also force the task in task sheduler.
Regards, David
Hi David,
Our GPO is set up to point to \\server\share
The only thing in \\server\share is Office.
Within office we have combined the 32 and 64 bit versions...for example
..\Office\Data\v32.cab and ..\Office\Data\v64.cab, etc.
HTH,
Steve
- Don't mix v32 and v64 in the same folder and make the path points to the folder that contains the .\office\data folder and not to include those folders.
The v32.cab file just contains a pointer to the version folder that is also created in .\office\data. If you download v64 to the same folder that v32 is already in, it will overwrite stuff.
So have a directory structure like \\server\share\office2016\v32 in your configuration.xml, run setup to download your binaries and these go into \\server\share\office2016\v32\office\data and use \\server\share\office2016\v32 in your GPO. Repeat for v64 with a different download.
ProPlus and Business versions, same bitness, can share a folder (a single download) but Office2013 and Office2016 cannot not can 32 and 64 bitnesses. Not sure how Office2019 will go. Hi sorry i didnt respod.
Its working now.
Like you say jus link to the root where wich contains office\data.
Thanks !
