How to make sure Office 365 (2013) Pro Plus click to run updates after it is installed on a computer

We are getting ready to move from Office 2010 MSI to Office 365 (2013) click to run ProPlus.  Everything is ready to uninstall and install the new product. 
My question is if the Updates Enabled="TRUE" is not in the configuration.xml file will machines with the click to run office 365 pull updates from the cloud?  I had been told that the Enabled=TRUE is not needed in the configuration file as
it is a default setting.  We want our machines to pull down updates from the cloud in place of providing a manual update location on our network.
Our configuration.xml file looks like this:
<Configuration>
    <Add SourcePath="\\Server\Share" OfficeClientEdition="32" ForceDowngrade="TRUE" >
    <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
      <Language ID="en-us" />
    </Product>
    </Add>
  <Display Level="NONE" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
  <Logging Name="OfficeSetup.txt" Path="C:\temp" />
  <Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="0" FORCEAPPSHUTDOWN="TRUE" />
</Configuration>
Thanks,
Brit

I am trying more to control the process via GPO with a start-up script and have created a batch file which executes the below command. It works and installs which ever version you define in your .xml file, the only issue i am facing is that re-runs the setup
at each reboot which isn't ideal. I am currently working on below script which could check the version of the office upon boot-up and only run if the specific version is not available. I have pasted the script right at the bottom of the page and if anyone
could shed some light in making it to read the version value 
"\\server\c2r\Office365 update\setup.exe" /configure "\\server\c2r\Office365 update\Customconfign.xml" (this is the batch-file used as a startup script)
PLEASE NOTE: There are three <Add SourcePath in my Cutomconfig.xml and not all three are required I use the one i need by taking the <!-- and --> from the beginning and the end  of each line  
<Configuration>
<!-- <Add SourcePath="\\Server\Share\" OfficeClientEdition="32" > --> Can only be used to download latest version of ofice365 (specify sourcepath)
 <Add OfficeClientEdition="32" Version="15.0.4675.1002" > Use to download a office version direct from microsoft servers
<!-- <Add SourcePath="\\server\c2r\Office365update" OfficeClientEdition="32" > --> to deploy software from internal network resource
    <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
      <Language ID="en-us" />
    </Product>
  </Add>
<Updates Enabled="TRUE" UpdatePath="\\server\c2r\Office365 update" />
  <Display Level="FALSE" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
  <Logging Path="\\server\c2r\Office365 update\Install Logs" />
<Property Name="FORCEAPPSHUTDOWN" Value="TRUE"/>  force closes any running office application
  <!--  <Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" />  -->
</Configuration>
this is what i am working on and wondered if any one would be able to rectify an issue with it as it doesn't seems to work

  • 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:
    http://support.microsoft.com/gp/customer-service-phone-numbers/en-us
    "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.

  • 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:

  • How to make Sales Office field mandatory in VA01 initial screen?

    Hi,
    How to make Sales Office field mandatory in VA01 initial screen? I mean in the first screen where we enter the document type and the sales area?
    Regards,
    Ajit

    Dear Deepak,
    Thanks for the clarification.
    But, as far, I have understood the query - it is very simple and that is..
    Whenever one creates a Sales Order (T.Code: VA01), Parameter: Sales Office needs to be mandatory (for all Sales Order, irrespective of Customer Account).
    Until-unless, user won't enter the parameter: Sales Office, System will not lead to next page (now, here we need to enter Customer/ material etc...).
    I have answered the query, in this regards, only.
    Best Regards,
    Amit.
    Note: Pls. correct me, if I am wrong. Thanks for everyones guidance.

  • How to draw a perfect circle and how to make sure it is perfectly centered inside a square

    How to draw a perfect circle and how to make sure it is perfectly centered inside a square in Photoshop elements using the Ellipse option.

    1. Create a square canvas.
    2. With the Elipse tool, hold down Shift (Shift forces a circle). Draw the circle anywhere on the canvas (Shape 1 in this example).
    3. Simplify the circle layer
    4. Ctrl-click the layer to select the circle.
    5. Copy the selection to the clipboard (Edit > Copy).
    6. Deselect the selection.
    7. Paste from the clipboard (Edit > Paste). The pasted circle (Layer 1) will be centered.
    8. Delete the original circle layer.
    NOTE: Step 6 is the key. This guarantees that the pasted circle will be centered.
    If you want a circle completely within a square you can simply draw and simplify a circle on any shape canvas. Ctlrl-click the circle to to select it and copy to the clipboard.
    Then do File > New from Clipboard. This creates the circle cropped to a square on transparent background.

    thank you!

    Hey J-Justin,
    Great question! You can name your Apple TV to differentiate it from others in the AirPlay list:
    Apple TV: Change the name of your Apple TV - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT200028
    Furthermore, you can setup an onscreen code or password to restrict access for AirPlay. The password method sounds like the best option for your setup:
    Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Understanding AirPlay settings - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202618
    Set a password
    Go to Settings > AirPlay > Security > Password > [set password]. You can use this setting to require a password for AirPlay-enabled devices to connect using AirPlay on the Apple TV. Use this setting if your device will need permanent access and you only want to enter the password once.
    Thanks,

  • Excel 2013 (pro plus) extermely slow with sheets with more than 100 checkboxes

    I have a customer with Excel 2013 (pro plus).
    They use sheets with more than 100 checkboxes in it.
    The sheet is extremly slow to display. When a user starts scrolling down, the checkboxes appear very slowly, one by one.
    It happens with all users, on both x86 and 64bits Windows 8 PC's and Office clients (32b & 64b).
    Anyone any idea?

    Hi R.Nieraeth,
    Could you please let us know what exactly these checkbox was used for ? Any formulas depend on these checkbox? Or any VBA code in this excel file? If so, you may need to check your formulas or the VBA code.
    In addition,does this issue happen only on excel 2013? You can try to disable hardware graphics acceleration: Click
    File, and then click Options. In the Advanced group, click to select the
    Disable hardware graphics acceleration check box. Click ok.
    Also please check if the following thread is helpful:
