Any one deploy SharePoint 2016 and Office Online Serer in Azure IaaS to run Excel Reports?
Office Online Server may not be supported in Azure, therefore, how does one deploy Excel reports that depend on Office Online Server. Assume no requirement to edit office documents.
Wondering if anyone can comment on how to support this type of scenario.
- ECS is entirely contained within OOS now. If you need Excel-based BI, you need to run the farm on-prem.
- Not quite sure what you mean. There's a license restriction in place that "prevents" you from running OOS in Azure. You just need to run it on-prem instead.
Therefore, does Excel Services Application somehow still exist in SP 2016 in order to view excel powerpivot reports? This is so that OOS is not used.
