Use GPO in conjunction with an .xml config for deploying Office 365 ProPlus?
Hopefully I can even word this correctly. I have 180 machines with Office 365 ProPlus Click-to-Run. Currently they have all default settings with regards to updates. I want to change some of thos...
There is no way to apply a config.xml through GPO onto a device. The config.XMLs always require the ODT (setup.exe) to apply them. On you questions:
- Change update channel: Either use the GPO "Microsoft Office 2016 (Machine)\Updates > Update Channel" OR re-run ODT with a config similar to this <configuration><Updates Channel="Targeted" /></configuration>.
- Remove Skype for Business: The only way to remove Skype for Business is through re-running ODT. the required config.xml would like the following: <configuration><Add><Product ID="O365ProPlus"><ExcludeApp ID="Lync" /></Product></Add></configuration>
Hope this helps.

Thank you, it does help. I suspected this was the case, I was hoping I was overlooking another way to do this.
