Deploy Office 2013 ProPlus Updates SCCM App-V

Hi,
I'm trying App-V and building the Office 2013 Pro Plus package worked fine, and to stop slow starting of applications I am (at the moment) looking at deploying App-V packages to stations during OSD in SCCM 2012 R2. Deploying the applications is working
great this way, except I can't find any information on how to deploy office updates to the App-V packages as they are released.
Usually with Office deployed the traditional way office updates are deployed through Software updates in SCCM. But this doesn't happen when Office is deployed as an App-V package. I don't really want to "stream" the packages to the
internal stations. Is there a way to automatically send out the updates to update the App-V office package that has been deployed to stations using the Install Application step of an SCCM OSD Task Sequence? (Preferably Automated).
Thanks,
Andy

As stated, you just have to generate and deploy a new Office package. Thankfully the client is clever enough to only stream down the blocks that have changed so you don't have to wait for users to re-download the entire package in order to apply the update!
Deploying Office as App-V is fine... until you come across an application that integrates with Office but is incompatible with App-V. Also managing plugins with connection groups is difficult. I always recommend deploying Office locally unless you have good
reasons to do otherwise.

Uninstall Office 2010/2013 to deploy Office 365 ProPlus

following clarification is needed:-
some of the pc is installed with Office 64 Bit edition, we are trying to remove the existing office (desktop) before deploying office 365 ProPlus. SCCM 2012 R2 is going to be used to uninstall office. my question is that can I remove/uninstall 64 bit Office
using 32 Bit setup.exe or it has to be 64 bit for 64 bit office and 32 bit setup.exe for 32 bit office.
also if I am looking for assistance to create query that can result in 64 bit and 32 bit office using SCCM. please paste the query in the response if possible.
Thanks

I would recommend that deploy a script that first removes the old version of Office and then Deploy the new version.
My favorite script tool to use with SCCM is the PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit, and that would be great in this example too.

SCCM 2012 - Deploying Office 2013 Application - Setup Errors

dear SCCM admins,
i am trying to test deploying office 2013 to users in my company. i made the application and deployments. the application appeared in the software center and in the application catalog.
The problem is whenever a user "which is not a local administrator" tries to install this application, it gives me the setup errors message saying "You must have administrative privileges to install or uninstall this
product."
Is there any specific configuration to make to overcome this behavior???
appreciate your suggesstions
M.Zakaria

As you can see from the screenshot you need to add the ProductID after the uninstall command.
See here for finding the ProductID

Deploying office 2013 Professional plus with SCCM

Hello,
I want to deploy office 2013 with SCCM 2012. I want to make an package but how can i
download the office 2013 complete version ?<o:p></o:p>

Hi,
As far as I know, Microsoft now only provide MSI-based Office installer for Volume licensing Office. If you are a Volume Licensing customer, you can download the media via the Volume Licensing Service Center:

Display level suppressed when installing Office 365 ProPlus via SCCM even though XML says Display Level="Full"

As the title says the display level is suppressed when installing Office 365 ProPlus via SCCM even though XML says Display Level="Full"
I would like to install Office ProPlus with the display level visible to the user. Not all users are local admins so I've installed Office within the admin context. Does this happen because SCCM installs under system context and as such suppresses
pop ups to the end user?
Has anyone been able to get this to work or am i doing something wrong? If someone can offer me some guidance please. Here is my XML:
<Configuration>
<Add OfficeClientEdition="32" >
<Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
<Language ID="en-us" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Access" />
<ExcludeApp ID="InfoPath" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Project" />
<ExcludeApp ID="SharePointDesigner" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Visio" />
<ExcludeApp ID="OneNote" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Publisher" />
</Product>
</Add> -->
<Updates Enabled="True" />
<Display Level="Full" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
<Property Name="FORCEAPPSHUTDOWN" Value="1" />
<Logging Name="OfficeSetup.txt" Path="%temp%" />

</Configuration>

When i install Office 365 ProPlus manually (independently of SCCM) I see the prompts (same SCCM Package and configuration.xml file). This suggests it is suppressed when ran in the system context via SCCM.
How does Microsoft expect you to maintain the build versions (running setup.exe /configure XML) if users are unable to view the prompts? This is significant if the user is already in an Office program they'd get prompted with a message to close the app else
it automatically closes OR fails depending on if you include the ForceAppShutdown switch in the configuration.xml file.
The users in the environment are not all local admins which is why i cannot run the deployment in the user context.
I really need some help, anyone?

Deploy Office 2013 - Uninstall Office 2010

Hello,
I am planing to deploy Office 2013 and created a MSP File (Setup /admin) for the silent Installation - everything works fine - except the uninstallation of Office 2010. In the OCT I´ve selected the Option to remove previous Versions of Office. I can
remeber that this works perfect in Office 2010 to remove Office 2007 too.
But in Office 2013 this doesn´t work anymore, the installed applications wizard (appwiz.cpl) Shows both Version of Office are installed. What is the best way to remove the old Version silently and install Office 2013? I would like to have all in one
"Application" deployed via SCCM 2012 SP1.

Have you looked at this document, or it's online equivalents:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mssmallbiz/archive/2012/10/22/free-microsoft-ebook-deployment-guide-for-microsoft-office-2013.aspx
In the section "Setup command-line options for Office 2013", they say:
/uninstall [ProductID]
Runs Setup to remove the specified product from the user’s
computer. Look up the value of [ProductID] in the Setup.xml
file for the product that you want to modify.
Example
\\server\share\Office15\setup.exe /uninstall ProPlus
where:
Office15 is the root of the network installation point.
ProPlus is the
[ProductID] ([ProductID]
is equal to the ID attribute of the
Setup element listed in
\\server\share\Office15\ProPlus.WW\setup.xml), where
ProPlus.WW is the location of the Office Professional Plus 2013 installation files.
You can customize the
/uninstall option by using it with
/config and a modified Config.xml file. This is necessary if you want to run a
“silent”
uninstall. In enterprise deployments, we recommend that you run a silent uninstall to prevent prompting users to enter information, and to prevent the installation from waiting for user interactions, even when files are being used.
To run a silent uninstall
Using a text editor, edit the following element attributes in the
\\server\share\Office15\ProPlus.WW\SilentUninstallConfig.xml file:
<Configuration Product="ProPlus">
<Display Level="none"
CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes"
AcceptEula="yes" /> </Configuration>
At the command line, use the following syntax:
\\server\share\Office15\setup.exe /uninstall ProPlus /config \\server\share\Office15\ProPlus.WW\SilentUninstallConfig.xml
Note:
In Office 2013, just as in Office 2010 and Office 2007, you cannot use the Setup.exe command line to set Windows Installer properties, such as
PIDKEY or DISPLAY. Setup does not pass these properties to Windows Installer. Instead, you make these customizations by using the Office Customization Tool or Config.xml. For a complete list of Setup properties, including blocked
and unsupported properties, see Setup properties in Office 2010.
The information also applies to Office 2013.

Office Store not working in Office 2013 ProPlus

I have few policies set up for managing our network deployment of Office 2013 ProPlus. Pretty standard things like disabling the first time run movie, disabling the office start screen, and disabling OneDrive. I actually made most of these changes through
the registry as well.
Now, it seems as though the Office Store is disabled but I have no recollection of specifically disabling such a feature nor could I find a registry or GPO which does disable it. I even undid many of the registries I use on a test bench but still could not
get the Office Store functionality back. We've had Office 2013 rolled out on our network for almost a year, and it's taken this long for 1 person of 150 members of staff to notice that the Dictionaries feature is not working due to Office Store not working.
I feel a bit daft posting something seemingly so trivial on TechNet, but half an hour on Google didn't turn up anything relevant that I wasn't already aware of.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
Please check if you have disabled the option of "Don't allow any apps to start" and "Don't allow apps from the Office Store to start" in Office Trust Center.
Location: FILE->Options->Trust Center->Trusted App Catalogs
GPO settings for these options:
Block Apps for Office
Block the Office Store
Location: User Configuration->Administrative Templates->Microsoft Office 2013->Security Settings->Trust Center->Trusted Catalogs
Hope this helps.

Patching Office 2013 multilanguage - updates to be applied

Hi,
I deployed Office 2013 Std English with a list of Language Packs (german, italian, spanish, ...). To make the deployment, I created an administrative share with the suite (english version) and added several folders extracted fron Language Pack iso (the iso
is named "Office Multilanguage Pack 2013 w Proofing Tools (All Languages)"). The deployment worked fine: now users can select English or other languages for the interface, the guide and the proofing tools.
Now, I have to update for my deployed Office 2013 suites. I configure WSUS to download updates for Office 2013, but my question is: I can download only the english version for updates, or I have to configure WSUS also to download updates for Office
in the languages I added to the suite?
Thanks in advance.
Roberto

Always include English in addition to any other languages that are required throughout your organization.
All updates are based on English language packs.
The recommended practice by Microsoft
is as below:
Plan for WSUS Update Languages

Office 2013 sequencing recipes for App-v 5.0

Hi,
      I want to create a sequence package for Microsoft Office 2013 in App-v 5.0 . I got some information about Deployment Tool Click To Run.
      But I need proper sequencing method of Office 2013.
     Could anyone please help me on this.
     Thanks in Advance.

Starting from App-V 5.0 SP2, we're not limited to Office365 licenses to deploy Office 2013 using App-V. Also volume licenses can be used. But sequencing is only needed for Office Add-ins or other customizations afaik.
Supported scenarios for deploying Microsoft Office as an App-V package: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2772509/en-us
How to make your AppV package:
Download the CURRENT version of
ODT (Office Deployment Toolkit).
Adapt the XML file to your needs.
Then use the /download parameter against ODT's setup.exe to download the sources files.
You don't need the /configure step (only to install your downloaded packages native, can be handy to install it on your sequencer thought).
Last step is to generate your AppV5 package with the /packager switch.
It's to easy, something will go wrong ;)

Can not reply email in Office 2013 when updating Server Pack 1

Dear All,
My company using office 2013 Pro and Google Apps Email. We can use send/receive normally. But when I updated Office to Office 2013 to SP1, it happened one problem when I reply mail.
"The operation failed. The messaging interface have returned an unknown error, If the Problem persists, restart Outlook" that is a message I received from outlook. When I check update in control panel I see one package update for
Microsoft Outlook "Update for Microsoft Outlook 2013 (KB2863911) 32-Bit Edition". When I remove this update package it is normal. I don't know the reason why, everybody can help me to resolve this issue.
Note: It is Ok with Office 365, and other mail... excluded Gmail.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
Sorry for the delay. Do you mean the problem was fixed after you removed KB2863911? I haven't heard such issue when installing KB2863911.
Does this issue happen to all users in your organization? Please try to recreate your mail profile to check if it helps. For your convenience:

Deploy Office 2013 with language pack

Hi,
We want to deploy Office 2013, for this I followed the tutorial:
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/How-to-Deploying-Office-0f954e7f
In the first step I need to make an MSP file, but this file doesn't get used in the deployment? I think this is a fault in the tutorial.
Also the uninstall string is setuP.exe /uninstall. Is this correct?
Second we want to deploy the dutch language pack with SCCM 2012, but I can't find out how. The package need to be installed but Office 2013 still need to be default language English.
Can someone help me out with this?
Thanks in advance.

Some troubleshooting tips:
Run the installation command locally using SYSTEM account (Get psexec.exe, open cmd, run "psexec.exe -s cmd", this will open a new command line window with SYSTEM privilege, try running your installation command there)
Check the Office 2013 installation logfiles to see if your configurations are correct, more info on that here:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/odsupport/archive/2010/12/30/troubleshooting-office-installation-failures.aspx
After those two steps are ready and you're sure your installation command works, you try it with ConfigMgr
With ConfigMgr, check %windir%\ccm\logs\ -folder for AppEval.log, AppEnforce.log and AppDiscovery.log, more info on these logfiles you can find here:

Office 2013 ProPlus HUP

I have (had) installed two copies of Office 2013 Proplus HUP, on my main PC and on my laptop (both Win 7).   My main PC motherboard died and I replaced it and at the same time upgraded Windows to 8.1.   I installed Office 2013 HUP again
but I can't activate it because Microsoft licencing responds that both my licences are active.   I cannot see any way to uninstall the licence for my main PC, I have tried to get to speak to someone by doing a telephone activation but you never get
to speak to a real person.  I tried to re-install Win 7 so as to try to uninstall office 2013 from my hard drive but Windows 7 only wants to do a clean install which means I lose the original Office 2013 registration and again can't uninstall.  I've
seen suggestions that this is possible through "My account" but I don't get that option when I check mine.       I've been through the Microsoft support site and when I put in my product code it says it's expired
which is odd because HUP is as far as I can tell an extension of our business licence and that is very much still active. Seems I can get support but it will cost me £65 when the software itself only cost me £8.95!!!
Two questions, 1) if I uninstall Office 2013 HUP from my laptop, does this get picked up by the Microsoft registration service and then permit me to activate it on my new main PC, 2) is there a support service in the UK from Microsoft who could help sort
this out without charging the earth?

Before answering your question, I would like to show your the FAQ below:
Q1: On how many computers can I install the software?
A: 2 computers, either 2 PCs or 2 Macs, specific to the software that was purchased.
Q2: Is Internet access required for Office?
A: Internet access is required to install and activate all the latest releases of Office suites.
More FAQ about Office 2013 HUP, visit
here.
Answer your questions:
A1: Since your previous motherboard is damaged, remove the Office 2013 related file woudn't picked up by the Microsoft registration service or permit you to activate it on your new PC. You have to activate the Office product by using the telephone
A2: Customer Service is free service which can help you by locating the appropriate answers or resources.

Deploying Office 2013 with Group Policy

I would like to deploy Office 2013 using group policy. I am new to group policy so am looking for some advice and guidance on the best way to deploy. I would like to deploy with no interaction with the user but yet display a message so that they
know not to open Office. I would also like to create a custom registry setting so that if I need to re-install, all I have to do is delete the registry setting. I have tried a group policy for installing with OCT settings (Basic, Suppress
Model checked, No Cancel checked, Completion Notice checked) and modifying the Config.xml (<Display Level="Basic" CompletionNotice="yes" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" />) but I can not get it to display
the installer screen so that users know it is installing. It does display the screen when running the setup.exe manually. I have a setting in the OCT that creates the registry setting and that is working correctly. My group policy is set to run the
below bat file at startup in the Computer Configuration.

Deploy Office 2013 using Group Policy

Below are a list of questions I have regarding setting up Office 2013 deployment automation. We are looking to deploy Office 2013 Business Click-to-Run using a group policy. We have already setup the deployment using the Office Deployment Tool and have
the configuration file all setup. The more automation we can provide the better to give the end users to best/fastest experience with this upgrade.
How do we automate the deployment process using a group policy?
Is there a way to have the Office 2013 deployment auto activate using the users credentials? We will be using the same password for all the user accounts for the deployment then having them change it later once everything is up and running. Would like to
avoid having to go around and help each user activate the software as well.
We would like to uninstall all previous versions of Office from the workstations that we're deploying Office 2013 to?
Thank you!

1. Because Office (in all forms) requires setup.exe to orchestrate the installations, classic Group Policy Software Installation (which requires an MSI file) is not suitable. This has been the case since Office2007. If you are constrained to use GP, you
will need to use GP Startup Scripts. There is guidance for this, in the Office resource kit library on TechNet.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff602181(v=office.15).aspx
2. Retail editions of Office, typically require you to login to the Microsoft Account where the license is associated, to validate the Office license. If you are using a product key method instead, you can use the PIDKEY element in your configuration.xml
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/library/jj219426(v=office.15).aspx
3. You'll need to tackle this yourself (there is no way to do this via C2R configuration). You could include the relevant uninstall-previous-version logic within your GP Startup Script (as a step prior to installing Office C2R). You'll need to cater for
whatever previous-versions might exist in your environment, and whatever the relevant uninstallation methods are for each previous-version.

After installing "Java for OS X 2013-004" update, Java apps don't work anymore as expected

After installing "Java for OS X 2013-004" update, Java apps don't work anymore as expected.
Windows of Swing apps don't display all GUI elements.
After replacing System/Library/Java from a Time MAchine Backup, everything works normal again.
Is this update corrupted?

"avoid using Java in a web browser at all,..."
Good advice.
"...old Java apps/applets that aren't written to modern specs ..."
The stand-alone Java Swing applications, that don't display their GUI elements after installing this update, have been written according to modern standards. With Oracle Java7, and with Java6 from Apple prior to this update, they run absolutely flawlessly.
This is absolutely Apple's fault.
