App-V 5 SP2 and Office 2013 - How to control user access?

What is the best way to control access to the Office 2013 application shortcuts?
Because it must be published globally, how can we only allow certain users to access Office 2013 on RDS servers when the default action would mean all users can access it?
Can removing the shortcuts using the DeploymentConfig file (see
here) followed by setting up something using the UserConfig file linked to an AD group work?
If so how would this be done?

App-V 5 SP2 and Office 2013 Pro Plus

Hi
We have a terminal environment (RDS) of 20 servers and have implemented App-V 5 SP2 in it and deployed Office 2013 to it.
We don't publish Office 2013 globally because not all users are supposed to get Office 2013.
We have 2 different deployment configurations (XML's) that are configured to universal groups and the user's are members of that depending on which configuration they are supposed to have.
Now the problem, when we log a user onto the RDS and he is a member of one of the Office group he get's the Office packages and the Integrator runs and "Mail (Microsoft Office 2013)" cpl is created in Control panel and everything works fine.
When the user logs off and on again and goes to another server in our farm he gets the Office packages but no integrator runs and there is no "Mail (Microsoft Office 2013)" in control panel.
But if the users happens to log on to the same server as he landed in first place then he has access to "Mail (Microsoft Office 2013)" in control panel.
We are using network load balance and session broker for our farm.
The office 2013 was sequenced as the instructions said and no extra features or addons where implemented.

Hello,
It is only supported if you publish the package globally and since you aren't publishing globally this is most likely the reason you have issues.

App-V 5.0 SP2 and Office 2013 Publishing Problem

Hi
I have a big problem with app-v 5.0 and Office 2013, the thing is that I have published it globally to a RDS servers in my farm and I have 4 different configuration xml's to publsih the package. I'm also using app-locker to prevent the users that are not supposed
to have the package doesn't get it published. That is working fine.
The default configuration xml is to publish the package to the computer with Excel, Word, Outlook, Powerpoint, onenote and Publisher and create shortcuts to All Programs.
I have 1 user configuration xml to a group (group 1) that has the default configuration but including 3 shortcuts to the desktop, Excel, Word and Outlook. I have another user configuration xml to group 2 that has all the application and all the shortcuts in
Office 2013 Pro and 4 shortcuts to the desktop. I have 1 user configuration xml for Excel only and another one for Word only.
This has been working well for 2-3 days but now users are getting error "The application failed to launch. The application belongs to a packages or a connection group that is scheduled to be unpublished. Error code: 0xA7E0E502-00000516".
And the Office 2013 is pending to unpublish globally on all servers even though no one has done anything except log in or log out.
What am I doing wrong, there are no connection groups on the app-v server but there where 2 or 3 long time ago and have been deleted.
Kind Regards
Kristján R. Halldórsson
Best Regards Kristjan R. Halldorsson

I ran the get-appvclientconnectiongroup -all on my servers and there where none listed.
I have also enabled the Virtualization Subsystem debuglog on the client and I'm not finding any error that might relate to this problem.
The thing is I had a group policy enabled that said Enable Global Refresh on Logon = true but I changed that to false and published the package again globally and I'm just waiting now to see if the package goes to unpublish state as it did before.

App-V 5 SP2 ODT Office 2013 32bit Package Import error

I have used ODT to package Office 2013/Project/Visio. The package is created without any errors. When I go to import the package using App-V Management Console i get the below error.
"There were problems interacting with the database on the server. The error was: String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated."
There are no further errors and the import fails.
I have successfully imported the 64bit version using the exact same steps without issue. Can someone please advise?

Thanks for the escalation Brandon. Yes i have created the 32bit version without the Languages, and this has worked. so it looks as if there is a String that is being created which may exceed the limits of the Database.
I was able to open the Appv file in Sequencer and just change the name using that. I am now able to publish the App. I still find it strange that ODT allows the file to be created with such a long string and then throw an error.

App-V 5 SP2 and publishing Office 2013 to users on RDS

Hello
I have a problem with App-V 5 on RDS Servers.
My scenario is like this, I have Office 2013 published Globally to over 20 RDS servers and I'm using App-Locker and groups to control access to the Office 2013 package.
Now when I add a new user to the office 2013 group he doesn't get the Office package published to him because the packages is in use and will be try'd at a later time. Witch means computer restart but I also have network loadbalance and session broker so the
user isn't always logging to the same server.
Has anyone had this problem or know how I can publish the Office 2013 package to the user's without restarting.
Best Regards Kristjan R. Halldorsson

Hello,
I am truely confused by how you are attempting to achieve things.
1. The Office 2013 package is only supported if deployed globally
2. AppLocker is the way to restrict users from starting different applications
3. Office 2013 is not supported to be published to users
It seems you have issues with #3. Which is not supported. I am not saying it "doesn't" work, but considering you have issues with it - perhaps we can start by not doing it?
Ok, so what do we have left;
Per your statement, Office 2013 is published globally. Ergo, all shortcuts and applications should be available to all users.
Is this true?

How do I back up contents of apps such as notes and office docs on my PC so that in the event of my ipad failing I can use these docs on my PC (windows op system)

How do I back up the contents of apps such as notes and office docs on my ipad to my PC ( windows op system) so I can use them on PC if my ipad fails?

You can use File Sharing in order to transfer the Word documents and the notes depending upon what apps you are using. Take a look at this.
iOS: About File Sharing - Support - Apple
There are file transfering apps like this one.
File Manager - Folder Plus on the App Store on iTunes
You can always email files as a last resort type of thing. That may not be practical depending upon the number of files that you have.

Am i the only one that see's serious bugs with Windows Search index on Windows 8.1 and Office 2013?

So i originally had Windows 8 and Office 2013 installed. I noticed that alot of my emails in Outlook 2013 as well as contacts werent being indexed. I waited for windows 8.1 and did an upgrade hoping the 8.1 would fix the issue. It didn't.
So i formatted my hard drive, installed fresh windows 8.1, and office 2013, and let it Windows Index run. I see 2 things happening.
A.) The indexer never completes
B.) the indexer takes up 40% cpu usage.
I tried rebuilding, creating index from new location, nothing seemed to work. I decided to prevent the indexer from searching Office apps (outlook and onenote) and low and behold it completes indexing.
I decided to try and format again and see if there was some bug causing the issue. So this week I formatted once agian, loaded Windows 8.1, installed updates, and loaded office 2013. Once again, my indexer
is stuck around 70k items and my processor usage on Searchindexer.exe is around 30-40%.
Is this a known bug with 8.1 and office?
Brad Nelson MCSE/DCSE/A+/Network+/WCSP

Hi,
I test in my environment, and Windows would finish the index, the CPU usage keeps in 29%, which my RAM is 8G.
Can you tell us how you let the Windows Index run?

Office 2010 App-V on machine with Office 2013 installed

Hi,
After a migration to locally installed Office 2013 I need to restore access to Access 2010 to some users for a legacy app. Ideally I want to use App-V. I have made an App-V package of Access 2010 following the MS guidance. It runs correctly
but every time after running it, the next time you run an Office 2013 app it causes Office 2013 to perform a repair operation, this succeeds but has to be done every time the 2010 Access is run. I can't find any reasons in the log files or in the event
viewer, any ideas?
Thanks

Thanks, I couldn't really find anything but it looks as though this could be just the way it is.
from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2784668
When you start a version of Access on a computer that has multiple versions of Access installed, the Windows Installer may start, and
a message that states that the Windows Installer is preparing to install Access may be displayed before Access starts.
Every time that you start Access 2003, Access 2007, or Access 2010 after you use Access 2013, the Windows Installer repair operation registers
that version of Access. Similarly, the Windows Installer repair operation registers Access 2010 every time that you start it after you use an earlier version of Access. This does not occur when you start Access 2002, nor does it occur when you start the same
version of Access again.
Is this likely to also apply even when running App-V?

Trouble with deploying Win 8.1 and Office 2013 to Surface Pro 2

Setup; Win2012R2, WDS 6.3.9600.16384, MDT 2013 (6.2.5019.0), Surface Pro 2 128GB, MS USB Ethernet adapter
Issue 1: the TFTP transfer of the PE image is Extremely slow. 10 Mbps. Have tried to adjust Maximum Block Size without any improvement.
Issue 2: When I try to deploy both Windows 8.1 and Office 2013 the TS fails. It will not (start) installing the Application - the log confirms that it starts the script, but ends up with ZTI Heartbeat forever.
If I install Windows first and after the OS installation connect to the MDT server and start a TS With just Office 2013 it works without problem.
The disturbing part here is that if I use the same TS With both OS and Office on a Hyper-V Virtual machine it works...
Have anyone seen this before?

Hi,
I test in my environment, and Windows would finish the index, the CPU usage keeps in 29%, which my RAM is 8G.

Issue with Date and Time Picker on Windows 8.1 and Office 2013

We are having a issue with the Developer tool in Excel called the Date and Time Picker which puts a calendar field into the spreadsheet where you can select a date from the calendar popup
If we change this date field and then save and close and reopen it reverts back to the previous date before the change was made
If we do the same process on a Windows 7 machine with Office 2013 it saves the changes we made to the Date and Time picker field

Hi jdono2,
I'm using Windows 8 and Office 2013,and I can't reproduce this issue.
Please make sure you have already upgraded to the latest version of excel, try to reregister the MSCOMCT2.OCX.
Also you can try to use another date picker add-in to test this issue.

Creative suite 4 and 5.5 compatable with Windows 8 and Office 2013?

We have both Creative Suite 4 and a few CS5.5. One classroom will be moving to Windows 8 and Office 2013 this Summer term. Will either of these suites work or will we need to upgrade to CS6?

The only honest answer: You won't know until you try. Generally they will/ should be compatible, but you may require dealing with legacy issues like printer compatibility or thne installer not finding specific folders as well as al lthe usual - security stuff, user privileges, network stuff in shared environements. you would face some of those issues even with CS6 or CC, so it's irrelevant to get a new version until there are real hard reasons beyond these issues. They can all be resolved, it may just take some fiddling and lots of patience.

Conflict Between HP Universal Print Driver 6.0 and Office 2013

Has anyone else noticed a conflict between the HP UPD v. 6.0 and Office 2013? We are running a Citrix environment with Office 2013 installed on a couple of application servers. Almost all of our printers are HP's, and we were trying to use the latest UPD (6.0) on our print server. However any time users print out of Outlook (yes people still do that) it crashes out and needs to be restarted. Printing from other applications works just fine. As a test I have tried the UPD v 5.8 and it seems to work ok. Obviously I've found a solution I was just curious if anyone else has noticed this conflict.
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

You're probably getting the "Windows cannot locate a suitable printer driver" error if you're trying to add the driver while adding a printer that is shared over the network. You see, HP's Universal Printer Driver (UPD) doesn't contain the PnpIDs of every printers it supports, so when you specify HP's UPD as the drivers for the network printer, if Windows can't find a match for the printer's PnpID it spits out the driver isn't compatible.
The way to overcome this is to install a "generic" printer locally, using HP's UP driver, and change the port afterwards to point to the shared printer. So, first, add a local printer (that will be using the LPT1 port - make sure no printer is attached!), and click on "Have disk(s)" to browse to and select HP's UPD. Going through the remaining steps should install a locally-attached printer named something like "HP Universal Printing PCL 5" (or "[..] PCL 6"). You'll then go in the new printer's properties, on the "Ports" tab, and click on "Add Port...". If you're installing a shared printer, you'll select "Local Port", click on "New Port..." and specify the path to the printer (e.g. \\myserver\hplaserj) as the port name. Those steps should do the trick.
Last thing: beware, though, as HP's UPD PCL 6 might not be compatible (anymore) with your LaserJet 4050, as they use a PCL XL class number/revision (class 2.1; sort of a version number of the protocol) that is higher than what your printer's firmware might support for PCL6 (should be class 2.0) I know the latest versions of HP's UPD PCL 6 doesn't work with our LJ 4000 & 4050 printers, so you might have to use the PCL5e driver for those 64-bit workstations.
