The Case of the Self Uninstalling Office 365
My team and I have an issue that we cannot find a fix for. For what appears to be a random occurrence, we see a number of machines in our network where Office 365 will uninstall itself. We have scoured the internet trying to find a solution and although we see lots of people mentioning that this happens, the answers do not seem to fix the issue. A bit about our setup: The image we use for our machines has Office 365 preinstalled We are registering our machines into Intune but so far all Intunes is doing is tracking the devices We are also on a hybrid system for AD/AAD We have one Microsoft 365 for Windows 10 setup to push O365 but only two machines are in that group and although those 2 machines are getting Office removed, there a plenty of other people getting Office removed that are not in that group. We did try a clean uninstall of Office from one of the machines but the issue persisted and a few days later it installed itself. Most everyone is working from home and typically does not connect to the company infrastructure via VPN unless they have to. Of course, we have tried many of the solutions posted throughout the Net without finding a solution. If anyone has seen this as well and has a solution I would very much like to hear it.
Office365 does not install from a local or shared drive
I am completely unable to install office365 from a local copy of the cab files on a hard drive. Details: The Dec 17 update of office365 has crippled all customized back end Access applications (for any users). As a result I need to roll back office365 to an earlier build. I have downloaded the build install files to d:\office365. Microsoft deployment manager is also downloaded and setup.exe is in the d:\office365 folder as well as the install XML files. When I use "setup.exe /configure InstallLocal.xml" from an elevated command prompt it fails each and every time with an error related to internet connectivity. All virus and firewalls turned off. Removed and scrubbed machine of all prior office installations. Tried two different workstations. Tried a local admin as well as enterprise admin account. Tried using a shared folder "\\LenovoX1\Office365" as well as "d:\office365" as the location for the office files. No luck on any of these fixes. Looked at permissions...nope. Here is the XML: <Configuration> <Add OfficeClientEdition="32" Version="16.0.14701.20226" SourcePath="\\LenovoX1\Office365"> <Product ID="O365BusinessRetail" > <Language ID="en-us" /> </Product> </Add> </Configuration> Any help would be appreciated.Office 365 / 2019 Deployment Question
Can a local folder, instead of a UNC path, be specified for the UpdatePath in the xml or GPO? Here's an example from my XML I'm testing: <Updates Enabled="TRUE" UpdatePath="C:\MSOfficeC2RCache" /> I don't want all users to update Office from the internet at once, and I need to roll out the updates in waves to users after properly testing. I am on an older build of SCCM that doesn't support managing Office 2019 C2R installations; I can only manage Office 365 ProPlus C2R with our current build of SCCM. (Do newer builds of SCCM currently support managing Office 2019 C2R?) I know that I can point UpdatePath to "\\server\MSOfficeC2RCache" to control updates rollouts, but I also don't want each remote office to update directly from one central server across the WAN, but I'd rather roll out the updates to the local cache folder like I mentioned above, which will clear out the older version of updates so that the computers don't have more than the latest version of updates available in the local cache folder.Correct Language and Regional Settings for Office 365
If company starting with Office 365, they want to set language and regional settings to suit their environment. For example, a company in the Czech Republic, but with branches around the world want to use primary English language for some, Czech for some, and some others. There are a lot of regional settings and language options around Office 365 services. Some can be changed for the whole tenant, some cannot. Some work automaticallyby user choice or as set by IT, some works with browser language, some with region location from Windows. I want to make the list of them and publish clear table to TechNet Wiki. Do you help with this task? Thanks! There are a couple of things which are clear and works fine. For example: We start with tenant created in the Czech Republic. This set default language to Czech for tenantand display regional to Czech (24-hour format and correct time zone). This can be changed. But for example, e-mail notification about new user account creation came always in Czech even after the change to English inthetenant. SharePoint primary language is Czech, others can be added to default. But Office 365 Groups are created with English regional settings and time zone in the US. OneDrive for Business is created also in US timezone. And the user cannot change that. But admin can create sites for users with correct settings. But special folders names are created like "Dokumenty" and does not change to"Documents" after the change. Planner and Office 365 Admin Center show language which user setup in their profile and this can be different from default Czech. But Planner also uses browser language and can switch to a different language sometimes. So, create and define multinational organizations with correct language options and regional options are hard and differ on each initial setup.
O365 E3 deployment
Good Morning, I am investigating Office 365 for a NHS Community Care Group and GP's(Surgeries/Medical Practices) We will need to use E3 licences because the EPR (Electronic Patient System - S1/EMIS) systems need a local install of Word. Will no doubt be using SCCM, as we are deploying Windows 10 first (awaiting licences). I know we need to remove Office 10 first and this can be done via SCCM. SCCM will update PC's and Users will activate O365 ( we maybe using Accenture /NHS Digital hybrid system that works with NHS email security), but how do we install the local version(Office 2019), do the users need to click Download local install or can this be done via SCCM. In GP land, a user will need to move from one desktop to another dependent on Job Task or Location. In CCG, they all have laptops. Thank you all for your time, any small bit of information will be most appreciated RalphLearn How the Belgian Police Migrated, Mobilized, and Managed Their Move to Office 365
