How to force Office 2013 CTR update regularly

We are using around 60 PKC licenses of Office 2013 which came in CTR format (we don't have any Office 365 subscription, these licenses came with the new computers). CTR can't be managed via WSUS and it usually updates itself once or two per month (ideally).
But we have noticed that many clients are not updating regularly. Actually some are stuck on January builds. When you go to such PC it shows that Update is ready. Why it doesn't update automatically? Is the PC has to be idle for some time? Then it is a bad
design as our employees usually do not slack around half a day and work with Office all the time. How can i force CTR versions to update? Other than going to every machine and pressing Update now or asking users to do so.
Digging about this i have stumbled upon a blog post about Office Deployment Tool which came out recently (version 1, 2014.05.06). http://blogs.technet.com/b/odsupport/archive/2013/06/19/using-the-office-deployment-tool.aspx Can it provide a way to force
updates or is it just a way to keep updates on a local share to save the bandwidth? Will the scheduled task behave the same in this scenario and wait for months to update?
Also, it looks like ODT download page is broken, nothing happens http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36778&751be11f-ede8-5a0c-058c-2ee190a24fa6=True

Hi,
The Click-to-Run for Office 365 Configuration.xml file is used to specify Click-to-Run installation and update options.
You can specifies attributes for configuring updates in the xml file, If
Enabled is set to TRUE, the Click-to-Run update system will check for updates automatically.
If UpdatePath is set to empty (""), updates are obtained from the Microsoft Click-to-Run source, CDN. Not from a local server:
<Updates
Enabled=TRUE | FALSE
UpdatePath=UNC | local | http path
TargetVersion=X.Y.Z.W
Deadline=MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM
/>
More reference about the configuration.xml file and ODT tool:

Download link for ODT:

  • How to install office 2013 professional plus

    Dear;
    I wonder how to install office 2013 professional plus in IMAC.
    I use bootcamp to install windows 8 and then install office 2013 professional plus?

    It does not run on Macs, only on Windows. So, yes, you would need to install Windows on your computer or:
    Get Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion/Mountain Lion.
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office:
    NeoOffice - $30.00
    Open Office

  • 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.

  • Office 2013 latest update broke new profile creation on all network computers

    Hi,
    Reporting a bug here!
    Setup details:
    We're using samba 3 as our backend and all workstation are Windows 7 Pro x64.
    Office 2013 Home and Business Retail (en-us) Click 2 Run version
    Context:
    Deployed to the whole network of one of our client using the Office Deployement Tool.
    We update their base update (no updates) to the latest update 15.0.4569.1508
    Everything was working alright after initial Office 2013 installation with no updates. After updating the all the PCs to the latest version as of 31/03/2014, the user profile creation broke for newly created user.
    Symptoms and causes:
    Trying to log on as a new user on the machine would give the following error on Logon before automatically loging off because it cannot copy the following file to the new user profile:
    D:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\Bici\_00.sqm
    D:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\Bici\_01.sqm
    D:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\Bici\_02.sqm
    The Bici folder has Read and Execute permissions for everyone but the _XX.sqm files inside only have permissions (Full Control) for SYSTEM and Administrators and LOCAL SERVICE with the all permissions EXCEPT:
    - FULL CONTROL
    - TRAVERSE FOLDERS/EXECUTE FILES
    - CHANGE PERMISSIONS
    - TAKE OWNERSHIP
    Solution:
    I gave "everyone" Read and Execute permission on those files and the new user could log in and his profile got created alright.
    The files with broken permissions time stamp shows they've been modified during the Office 2013 update and Bici seems to be a OneDrive related service. This bug should get fixed ASAP.
    Event log error:
    Windows cannot copy file \\?\D:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\Bici\_01.sqm to location \\?\D:\Users\TEMP\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\Bici\_01.sqm. This error may be caused by network problems or insufficient security rights.

  • Office 2013 C2R Update Scheduled Task does not work

    Hi all.
    I am having difficulty getting network deployed updates to work correctly. I installed and older version of Office 2013 with the ODT from a network share and set the update path. I then downloaded an update via ODT.
    The issue is the scheduled task does not update office. If I trigger or manually run from a command prompt "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX64\integratedoffice.exe RUNMODE RERUNMODE modetorun updatedetection modeargs reschedulemode tasktrigger
    scheduledtask updateuitype background” from Task Scheduler nothing seems to happen. Monitoring Task Manager it looks like integratedoffice is called albeit very briefly.
    But, if I run "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX64\integratedoffice.exe RUNMODE RERUNMODE modetorun updatedetection background” from a command prompt Office updates, but if I edit the Scheduled Task to above Office does not update if the
    task is triggered.
    As Office can update if the right command is given it would appear that my config.xml etc is correct. Any ideas on why the Scheduled Task does not work?
    Cheers
    Jakes

    What permissions are set on the location of the updates ? C2R currently needs permissions granted for machine accounts as it runs under that context. This will change at some point that C2R gets updated.

  • Office 2013 SP1 update on client no longer allows connection to Office Telemetry Database

    I have just updated my machine with Office 2013 SP1 and have found that I can no longer connect to the Office Telemetry Database. It fails with a Database Connection Failure. The database needs to be updated.
    I can connect fine from the server locally so just wondering if someone can confirm that the telemetry server needs updated to SP1 before it will allow my machine to connect?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    We haven't heard such report after Office 2013 SP1 released. We will monitor on this problem and we will let you know if we found that the problem was caused by SP1. Meanwhile, we can try to uninstall SP1 to see if the problem persists.

  • 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
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh328568(v=ws.10).aspx
    Choose a Type of WSUS Deployment

    Using the WSUS 3.0 Configuration Wizard

  • 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:

  • Messages are incorrectly positioned inside IM chat window (after Office 2013 SP1 update)

    Hi,
    After installing Office 2013 SP1 today (Lync desktop 2013 client version updated to 15.0.4569.1506), messages inside Lync's chat windows are positioned in a wrong way when using DPI of 125% in Winodws 8.1.
    Can anyone else confirm this and/or suggest a solution? We cannot unistall SP1 since we're using Click-to-Run version from O365.

    Can you try re-sizing the Lync IM window's width as small as possible? I have the issue due to long name, haven't tried playing with DPI.
    Please mark posts as answers/helpful if it answers your question.

  • How to remove Office 2013 (Click to run) package?

    I am having problems removing Office 2013 sequenced using Click to Run and is published to the machine as per MS guidelines.
    It's a member of a connection group with another application.
    I have tried many things:
    get-appvclientpackage | stop-appvclientpackage | remove-appvclientpackage.
    get-appclientconnectiongroup | remove-appvclientconnectiongroup
    The connection group and both applications remain.
    Error reported is that the application is still in use (no idea which one as it doesnt say). Task manager doesn't seem to list anything running from any virtual environment. I have tried viewing 'processes from all users' also.
    I unpublished the connection group and the applications from the App-V Management Server, then retried the above commands which didnt work.
    Tried rebooting after doing all the above, then retry PoSH commands and that didnt work either.
    Any ideas?

  • How to remove iMovie 2013 pending update from iMac 2007

    My iMac (mid-2007) doesn't have the video card to support iMovie 2013. OK, I'm fine with that. But it's still sitting in the App Store as "Update Available" and there's a red badge on the App Store icon in the dock. This is driving me nuts!! I keep looking to see which app needs updating, and it's just iMovie, which I can't update. How do I get it to go away?

    This worked in ML.  Not sure about Maverick.  Check out thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4144504 and read the This solved my question response. 
    If it doesn't work, suggest that you post in the Maverick forums. 

  • How to force sharepoint 2013 to always send email as one user?

    Hi!
    In our organization we are limiting the ability to send email to groups for authenticated users only.
    this causes an issue with Sharepoint, where a user cannot share files with a group.
    Since sharepoint is authenticating anonymously - the sender is not authenticated.
    I did some research and the suggestions are to set the SPS as SMTP server and use it as a relay for the exchange server while using authentication.
    this does work, but i'm having a new issue where the authenticating user must be granted the "send as" permissions for all other users, and I don't want to do that.
    Is there a way to force the SPS to always send as a specific user?
    any other suggestion is also welcome.
    TIA,
    Assaf

    Hi Assaf,
    According to your description, you want to set the outgoing email address always to be a specified one in SharePoint.
    Per my knowledge, if we have configured the email address in the Outgoing e-mail settings in Central Administration, the emails sent from SharePoint will always use this email address to send the emails.
    What did you mean by granting “send as” permission to all users?
    Best regards.
    Thanks

    I only get this error code when I'm deploying to my VM so I know it's not a permissions issue, but to be sure I have also double checked that the computer account for SCCM has read/write perms.
    Can anyone think of any other possible culprits?
    Thanks in advance for any responses.

    Amy,
    Thanks for your response, but I believe that specific line in the log is actually searching the local machine for the client. Since it can't find it, it's downloading it from my network share, which is normal. The above log I just posted is from a client
    where I successfully deployed it.  As mentioned in my OP, I only get this error message whenever I'm trying to deploy to a VM. Everything works fine when I'm deploying it to any other client machine.
    I'm really hoping someone knows what that specific error message is pointing to as I cannot find any documentation online for it.

  • Office 2013 simply refuses to update templates

    Hi All,
    Was wondering if you could help as i'm really getting thin on ideas now.
    I've been working with Azure RMS for a couple of weeks with no problem but all of a sudden I can't get Office 2013 to update the custom templates I've been creating on multiple devices.
    I've created custom templates before that have refreshed in Office perfectly but new ones simply will not download. As far as I'm aware everything is set as it should be  in terms of the template is published and my user account is within the scope
    of users who can use the template.
    I have installed the RMS sharing app on my Win 8.1 machine and when right clicking a file to complete an in place protect the most up to date templates are present but whilst working directly within Word or Excel etc the templates are out of date.
    I've tried all sorts of combinations of deleting the templates folder in: %AppData%\Local\Microsoft\MSIPC\Templates and deleting the LastUpdateTime dword, signing out of office and signing in again but nothing I try seems to help.
    Does anyone have any ideas of what I could try?
    Thanks in advance!

    While this feature (departmental templates) is in Preview, Office applications don't recognize these templates, by default.  From
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn642472.aspx#BKMK_HowToConfigureCustomTemplates, see step 8 and the behavior you're seeing:
    Not all applications can support departmental templates. To do so, the application must first authenticate with the RMS service before downloading the templates. If the authentication process does not occur, by default, none of the departmental templates
    are downloaded. 
    There is a script that you can run (see the Note) for this to work with Office applications during the Preview period. We were hoping to get the script on the Download Center, but it's currently on the Connect site.  If you have problems accessing it,
    email [email protected]
