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.
Best Regards Kristjan R. Halldorsson

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 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 5.0 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.

Lync 2013 client - part of Office 2013 Pro Plus - unable to edit or remove picture, option is grayed out.

Hi Team,
Lync 2013 client - part of Office 2013 Pro Plus - unable to edit or remove picture, option is grayed out.
Using Exchange 2010 Server and Lync 2010 Server at the back. To the best of my knowledge, this option is only available when using Exchange 2013 rather than Ex 2010.
Can somebody confirm this as I am not 100% sure about it.
Appreciate your help. Thanks

Hi,
The photo precedence in Lync 2013 is high-resolution photo from Exchange 2013 -> Photo from web address -> Active Directory photo. The "Edit or Remove Picture" button is available if you integrate Lync Server 2013 with Exchange 2013.
Since you are Lync server 2010 and Exchange 2010, you can choose the following two options:
The thumbnailPhoto attribute on the user's object in Active Directory Domain Services
A URL configured by the user

Activating Microsoft Office 2013 Pro Plus? Volume licensing needed?

Hello,
I have unique scenario in my company where we need to install office 2013 pro plus on 10 hard drives. Each hard drive has its own windows 7 operating system. Due to security reasons, the setup consists of one computer tower (with no primary hard drive) that
has a slot in tray for one hard drive. These hard drives are accessed one at a time. There are not set up on a network and do not have internet access. What would be the best method of installing office? Of course we could install 10 copies of office on the
10 hard drives, but this would be expensive. I keep hearing about KMS (Key management service) and MAK (multiple activation key) which I believe would require volume licensing. Is this a possible cheaper alternative? Would we need to set up a server to manage
the keys?
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thank you

Hi,
A volume licensing aggreement is the best plan for your case, I think.
Multiple Activation Key (MAK) activation is used for one-time activation through Microsoft hosted activation services, either via the Internet or by telephone. Each MAK has a predetermined number of allowed activations, this number is based on volume licensing
agreements.
KMS is a client-server model in which the client requests activation from a computer serving as the KMS host. KMS activation requires TCP/IP connectivity between the clients and the KMS host. By default, KMS host uses DNS to publish the KMS service. It works
best with more than 50 computers.
So I think the best choice for your scenario is MAK as your setup is not on a network and only need 10 copies of Office. Also, with MAK, you don't need a server to "manage the keys" as the MAK key need to be added at installation time.
Here is the reference you'll need:

Hi
We recommend you download it from the website and extract it again to make sure your source install is complete.
Run setup.exe as administrator then try the install.

Office 365 Pro Plus vs Office 2013 Pro Plus licensing

I can't find any exact answers on this but I'm wondering if I can run Office 2013 Pro Plus instead of office 365 Pro Plus click to run. The problem is click to run causes all kinds of problems with 3rd party software. It's so random too and doesn't happen
to everyone in my office.
With office 365 this is what happens. We have this 3rd party integration with word that adds a tab to interact with our CRM. When you click a button on this tab word crashes and you loose your document. It will auto recover most of the time but at that point
the 3rd part integration is broken because the document was open outside of the software.
I did an online repair of office 365 but that didn't fix it.
So I have a volume license key for Office 2013 pro plus for my terminal servers and was wondering if I could just use that key on my computers to activate Office 2013 Pro Plus instead of Office 365 and still be compliant with the license agreement.
I have tried installing Office 2013 Pro Plus and activating with the Office 365 login but it converts office 2013 to the Office 365 click to run. It's so infuriating! LOL.
Thanks!

Hi,
"So I have a volume license key for Office 2013 pro plus for my terminal servers and was wondering if I could just use that key on my computers to activate Office 2013 Pro Plus instead of Office 365 and still be compliant with the license agreement."
By the volume license key, do you mean a MAK key? Technically it should work fine, but since it will be related to the licence policy, I suggest you contact the local customer service to confirm:

"I have tried installing Office 2013 Pro Plus and activating with the Office 365 login but it converts office 2013 to the Office 365 click to run. It's so infuriating! LOL."
I understand in your scenario if you activate Office 2013 with the Office 365 account it will display Office 365. But does it also display "click to run"? The installation method should change unless you installed Office 2013 via click to run too.

Compatibility: Project 2013 Pro and Office 2010 Pro Plus

Beyond an obvious recommendation to upgrade Office (which cannot happen in this instance), is the shared code base between Office and Project the same or close enough to avoid performance or functionality issues that would not be experience if Office 2010
Pro Plus and Project 2010 Pro?

Hello,
For Project Server 2013 you will need Project Pro 2013 but the rest of Office can be 2010.

Sql Server Native Client and Office 2013 Professional Plus template

Does the Office 2013 Professional Plus template include sql server native client 10.0?
This is in response to an earlier question: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/azure/en-US/70e91af7-586a-41ca-994e-b8378928847e/connecting-access-2013-using-preview-image-to-azure-sql-database?forum=AzureRemoteApp
Using the Office 365 trial subscription image - the sql server native client 10.0 is not included in this image.
The reason for the question is that I'd like to link an MS Access database front end to SQL Azure and it is quite helpful to have the sql server native client 10.0.
Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave,
Unfortunately the Office 365 ProPlus (Subscription required) (Uploaded on 11/26/2014) image template
does not include the SQL Server Native Client.
As of now you would need to
create a custom image template with the required software and upload it.
I just created one a couple of days ago for a customer that had what you are requesting plus a few extras. In their case they have a custom application that they needed to connect to SQL Server on an IaaS VM so I built the custom
image to accommodate that plus other requirements.

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.

Hi David,
Are you installing Office 2013 with a CD or source files on your local drive?
The log above tells us that the failure occurred during the install of the ProPlusWW.msi. "1603" is a generic MSI error code, so doesn't help much here.
I noticed below part in your attached log:
"2015/02/06 15:36:55:270::[6108] MSI(INFO): '02/06/2015 15:36:55.254 [3892]: Assembly Install: Failing with hr=80070005 at RemoveDirectoryAndChildren, line 396"
The error code 0x80070005 is also described as ACCESS DENIED, so you might want check your permissions and make sure you are running as admin.
Also, if you are installing with a CD, then please try a flat installation (which means perform an installation from an image that has been copied to a hard drive rather than directly from CD media), and see if issue persists. This can help
with problematic software installations because performing a flat copy is much easier for the computer than the random access reads required during a normal installation.

Office 2013 Pro Plus Activation not taking ?

Hello All.
I'm having issues with the license I received from my CTO. It's a legit license from Microsoft (Downloaded straight from the site). But the activation goes nutty no matter what I do.
Details:
Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit
Office Pro Plus 32-Bit
Problem:
Activation will not take.
If you take a look at Capture.jpg - You will notice that all programs are showing; 'Product Activated Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013' but then underneath that, it says 'Activation Required' --- What ???
If you look at Capture1.jpg - I've entered the license key and I get the Green Check - I click Install & Nothing. No Results. I've restarted, I've uninstalled and reinstalled.
I'm out of ideas. Yours?

Hi,
1.Open any Office program. For example, open Microsoft Word 2013.
2.Click the File tab.
3.Click Account, then click Activate Product.
4.In the Microsoft Office Activation Wizard, choose I want to activate the software by telephone, then click Next.
5.Click the drop-down menu, and then choose the country or region that you're from.
6.The Product Activation Center telephone number will appear under the drop-down menu in Step 1.
In addition, you might also contact Microsoft Customer Service they will help you to activate:

Hi tobytyler9655，
ProPlusWW.cab is a file from Office Pro Plus installation.
Since ProPlusWW.cab is missing, the installation resource may be damaged. You can download the install resource from Microsoft website and reinstall it.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/download-back-up-restore-microsoft-office-products-FX103427465.aspx
If still unable to install Office 2013, we can perform a clean boot to remove conflict with other applications.

Office 2013 pro plus deployment

Hi,
I am trying to deploy office 2013 to all in my organization through a group policy, the version that I have is 15.0.4569.1506. I have used oct to customize the setup and activate the product.
All works fine but after the product is installed there are 2 GB of updates that are needed. I am trying to find the best way to push out the updates along with the initial installation.
I have tried downloading a few updates and placing them in the updates folder in the package but this does not install the updates and it is not possible to download more than 100 updates and place them in the updates folder.
Is there a latest version available with all the updates included that can be deployed straight away?

Hi,
Microsoft have used some rather confusing product marketing terms, which makes it hard to get clear, and also to be clear, when it comes to this release of Office :(
Office 2013ProfessionalPlus - installation uses the classic setup.exe + MSI engine. Can be updated via WSUS.
Office365ProPlus - installation uses the new ODT, and results in C2R virtualized "installation". Can't be updated via WSUS.
So, if you're using the ODT, then you're not using Office2013ProfessionalPlus..

NB: the update process will probably be cantankerous even after you get it working ;)
