Office 2010 deployment - Bypass/Skip if Office 2013 present

We have predominantly Office 2007 installed thought out environment and I now have a working Office 2010 app deployment package. Now I am finding that we have a few systems that already have Office 2013 and I'd like to bypass any system that already has
2013 installed. Currently my 2010 package is installing side by side with 2013 and has resulted in Office being corrupted. I have not been able to find a way to detect Office 2013 and bypass/skip installation. Please help. Thank you in advance.

Hi,
You could simply use a Collection query and exclude all devices from the Office 2013 collection that already has Office 2010 installed.. If you deploy it it devices and not users that is..

App-V 5.0 // Visio - Project with Integration + local Office 2010 Deployment Kit and COM settings

Hi, I did read all the Microsoft and non-microsoft documentation first. However, I didn't find an answer to these 3 questions:
Situation:
* Locally installed Office 2010.
* Visio and Projects 2010 sequenced with App-V 5.0 SP3 sequencer with integration scenario (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2830069)
* User-target of Visio and Project (I now according to documentation this should be published globally. Since not every user has a license this is no option. So far my tests do not show any problems with user-targeted visio/project)
* Visio has "allow COM objects to interact with the local system" and "OutOfProcessEnabled" enabled
1) When targeting both visio and project to the user with integration the licensing component only works for the first started application. Therefore I also install the licensing kit locally which make both the visio and project licensing work just fine.
Anyone sees a problem with having the license kit installed locally and stream the applications with integration on top? With my tests all seems to work well. The advantage of this is that I do not have to have separate packages for integration and non-integration
scenario's.
2) To make drag-and-drop from visio drawings in word work I enabled the COM interaction and I need also to set OutOfProcessEnabled="true". Does anyone now how to set OutOfProcessEnabled to true inside the .appv (it is possible with application
virtualization explorer) and not only manually afterwards in the xml's?
3) Should these COM settings be enabled for project as well? It seems that pasting in word from project has not the same interaction, it just pastes a table.

1. We did similar, installed that MSI for the licensing component locally, and streamed Project and Visio 2010, and so far so good.
2. There is no way to set those COM options inside the .appv. You can set integrated vs isolated, but no IP or OoP COM, you have to use the deployment XML.
3. This gets tougher to answer, but it goes to how much isolation do you want. Some of the articles are great just go over my head slightly, but have to deal with how the filter driver processes certain kinds of COM, IP or OoP. With Isolated
(as opposed to integrated) the COM systems (local and package) are totally isolated except for global exceptions.
With integrated, you can further 'integrate' the COM subsystems by enabling those options. Correct me if I'm mistaken though.
So do you need to? If everything works for you I'd say no, but you might find something else doesn't work without those settings.
Also very important, you cannot join a CG without those subsystems being equal. So if Project and Visio ever need to be in a CG together and the COM settings aren't identical, you will get an error at the client.
I really like this article but not going to lie it goes over my head a bit (a bit or a lot depending on my coffee intake)

SCCM Office 2010 Deployment - "already compliant"?

Hi, I am deploying Office 2010 successfully to a group of machines on our network. It looks like there are machines that state "already compliant" even though the install definetely has not gone through. I checked some of the logs no record. Also
reinstalled the sccm agent.
In Software Centre - Installed Software - under Size 0 it states "Less than 1 MB". Going around in cycles here.
Any ideas?

Hi Paul, i dont have access to that info. Any idea how i get that it? CHeers
Its Application deployment
To check the detection method. Select the application and then choose the Deployment Types tab at the bottom of the console.
Double click the Windows Installer msi deployment that appears. Then select the Detection Method tab. This will show you the detection method being used.

Hi Paul, sorry for the late reply. the deployment type is registry:
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{90140000-001B-0409-0000-0000000FF1CE}
I have checked the compliant list and its strange, some are compliant and some are not. I have removed the above, and set the detection to File System:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14
Excel.exe
Do i need to redeploy the software?
Cheers

Office 2010 Deployment

In my organization, we deploy office 2010 components separately - excel, outlook, word, and PowerPoint. We have been deploying it via Zenworks and few month ago we switched to SCCM.
So most office components are already deployed via ZenWorks and when migrating from Zenworks to SCCM, I am deploying outlook, excel, word and PP shortcuts to the desktop. (The Current Shortcuts to outlook and rest is a ZENWorks Shortcut - it goes away when
we stop using the Zen agent)
Instead of doing that I wanted to repair the office installation silently via Config.xml file and it runs successfully but it does not create a shortcut to the user's desktop (outlook, excel etc ...)
setup.exe /repair Outlook /config \\SCCM-SourceFolder\Apps\Microsoft\Office2010Componentsx32\Outlook\Outlook.WW\SilentRepairConfig.xml
Is it possible to have the repair setup create a shortcut? can I use my .msp file incorporated with the above command?

Hi,
/repair command line will not create desktop shortcuts. And a .msp file can be used together with above command.
I would suggest you to create a .msp file with OCT tool, and configure it to create desktop shortcuts for any Office applications in
Additional content>Configure shortcuts section.
Please note that /adminfile [path] command-line option can be used only during initial installation of the product, so you might need to put that .msp file into
updates folder, and then apply it.

Office 2010 deployment through SCCM 2007 R2

This might not be the right forum to ask this however I am going to take a chance......
I have deployed Office 2010 with Access (OCT) to around 1000 devices.
I now need to remove Access on all these devices or make it unavailable so users cannot use Access.
Is there any modification that I can do to the exiting OCT that will help me achieve the above result?

You can remove access from the installation using the admin tool (OCT) then use a /p to apply the change to the existing configuration.
This is the link to the 13 setup, configuration will work the same way in 10 as far as I remember.

Unpinning Office 2010 icons from taskbar after clean 2013 installation

Ok so when installing Office 2013, Office 2010 programs get uninstalled. If the user had any Office 2010 icons on there taskbar though, they are still pinned to the taskbar and inactive. Is there a way to completely remove these icons? I created a .bat file
which goes into where the shortcuts are
(C:\Users\%user%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar). I watch as the shortcuts are removed from this area, but when I go to the taskbar the icons are still there. Clicking on them gives me a message that the item
has been moved, renamed, or deleted, and allows me to remove it manually. Is there a way through scripting or GPO or the registry to make the shortcuts and icons to be deleted without having to do this manually?

Hi,
Looks like clear out the TaskBar folder (%Appdata%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar) can only make the taskbar item an unusable shortcut with no target.
You might need to refer to some scripting to achieve this. Please take a look at this thread and see if it helps:

Office 2010 deployment - wont apply custom .MSP file

Hi all,
I am creating a new deployment environment for our company and having some issues with Office and adminfiles.
I basically cannot get setup to apply the custom MSP file from my network share, either using MDT application deployment, nor manually using the command prompt once the machine has been built.
I was also informed by several documents that any patches (which I assume to be MSP's and MSU's) that are present in the \Updates\ folder during setup will automatically be applied. This does NOT happen for me. It completely ignores my MSP when it's in there.
The error I get when trying to parse the admin file is pretty basic. It just says: "path or file specified with /adminfile did not contain any patches"
This is the command i'm using: setup.exe /adminfile "Updates\mymsp.MSP"
I've also tried using the full path: setup.exe /adminfile "\\domain\server\apps\office\updates\mymsp.msp"
None of that works.
Any ideas??
NB. It DOES work when I copy the MSP file to a local disk and execute from there. That adds an unnecessary manual step to my builds though, which I want to be completely automated. It also means I have to create a batch file to copy it locally first.

Hi Greg,
do you use a config.xml?
Yes: Please add the following line to the config.xml:
<Logging Type="Verbose" Path="%TEMP%" Template="Office_2010_ProfessionalPlus_Install(*).txt" />
No: Please create an empty config.xml and copy&paste the following line:
<Configuration Product="ProPlusr">
<Logging Type="Verbose" Path="%TEMP%" Template="Office_2010_ProfessionalPlus_Install(*).txt" />
</Configuration>
The above lines are customized for Office 2010 ProfessionalPlus. Then run the setup again, include the config.xml-file:
setup.exe /adminfile path\file.msp /config path\config.xml
The setup should write an extensive log to the temp-folder (%temp%). The logfile will show you, if setup can locate the specified msp-file and is able to parse it. If it does not work out, post the logfile here.

Office 2010 deployment package incomplete

I have been charged with the deployment of Office 2010 Pro Plus 32 bit.
Using the OCT package installs well and authenticates with KMS plus the installation of SP2. The challange is the other 40 some odd patches don't install even though they are in the "updates" folder. I have tested installation
of SP2 from 2 directions, both in the updates folder and as an .exe command line install and it works well and silently both formats. My understanding is SP2 needs the reboot prior to installation of the other patches.
Looking for way to install those last patches to make a complete install in one swoop.
Working in a VM environment and can roll back and retest in short order.
Lowell

The challange is the other 40 some odd patches don't install even though they are in the "updates" folder.
What kind of patches are they? Are those patches applicable to Office 2010 SP2? Please note that Office 2010 Service Pack 2 already includes lots of public updates that
were released previous.
For troubleshooting purpose, please do below test:
Remove SP2 files from the Update folder, only include the patches and see if they got installed this time.
After installing Service Pack 2, please try to install those patches manually and see if they can be installed successfully.
Please have a try and feel free to post back with any findings.

How to uninstall Office 2010 32 bit and install Office 2013 64 bit

Hi Everyone,
I am rather new to SCCM. I have setup a SCCM 2012 SP1 system. I am now trying to setup an Application where it will install Office 2013 64 bit. Everything seemed to go smoothly until I tried testing it. I received an error that I
cannot install the 64 bit version of Office 2013 because Office 2010 32 bit is already installed.
I tried to modify the MSP where it will uninstall Office 2010 before installing Office 2013 but apparently as soon as it starts it checks for the 32 bit installation and exits when it finds it.
Could someone give me a detailed solution (since I am new to SCCM)?
Ken

While referring to older versions of office I think this link may apply: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/f255e17d-4e1f-4231-8a88-d63f41c83c52/how-to-automatcally-uninstall-office-2007-32-bit-for-installation-of-office-2010-64-bit?forum=officesetupdeployprevious
Also you might create an office 2010 package, with an uninstall program that removes it.
Then in your office 2013 package make the uninstall for 2010 to be run first.

Corporate Win7/Office 2010 | Severe Lag when opening Office 2010 files over the network

Good Evening Everyone,
I work in a corporate environment for one of the top banks in the country (USA). We recently upgraded our computers to Windows 7. (The image has office 2010 included in the build)
I've been experiencing some severe lag when opening Office files over the network. Let me start by saying I've researched a lot and have yet to find a solution that works or even makes much of an improvement.
Notes: My laptop is new (64-bit Win 7 Enterprise). The remote desktop where the files lie is new as well. (64-bit Win 7 Enterprise) Both computers have good hardware and more than enough juice to handle applications.
There are certain files I work on along with other co-workers that we store on a computer within the office. We simply create shortcuts to the files on our local machines and make changes, etc. from there. However, after this upgrade, every time I try to
open a file on the remote computer, it takes over a 1 minute to load. I've spoken to our support team who sent someone out and confirmed it's not the network.
Both computers are on the same subnet as well. I've changed the trust center settings on both the client computers and "server" to trust any computer on the network. I have also changed the network card's speed from "Auto Negotiate" to
full duplex 100mbps with no luck.
I am out of options here and in desperate need for a fix. Even saving changes to a file we work on takes forever. 50% of the time when I close a spreadsheet, the title bar has a not responding message and takes a minute to eventually close.
PS: Extra Info : All computers run McAfee AV and use McAfee for disk encryption. I've confirmed all computers are up-to-date in every respect with the AV software.
Thanks,

Try:
Open My Computer.
Open the Tools menu and choose Folder Options...
Select the File Types tab.
Select the extension (for example DOC, or XLS) of the file that is slow to open.
In the Details section, click [Advanced], and another dialog box will open.
In the Actions section, click Open then click [Edit...], and another dialog box will open.

Importing Outlook 2010 Mail account settings from one copy of Office 2010, to another copy of Office 2919

I am trying to export my E-mail ACCOUNT settings from one copy of Outlook 2010 so that I can import them in another copy of Office 2010 on a different computer. Again, BOTH computers have Office 2010 on them. While I can move the PST file, my
E-mail account information never comes across. How can I do that without having to enter each account separately. Also is it normal for the E-mail accounts to show up as DATA FILES rathan than E-MAIL FILES? I've never come this in the past.
Thanks.

As JHarris1993 said, this is BOSS! Thank you.
I used this solution to recreate a profile I was using under one Windows 7 account in another account on the same machine. The profile was successfully recreated but I noticed that the email accounts in the profile were still pointing to the data files from
the other account, which is not surprising at all.
Unfortunately no easy way exists for re-pointing email accounts to alternate file locations. I have five different email accounts in this profile (2 IMAP, 2 Outlook Hotmail Connector and one Exchange), and looks like there are solutions and workaround for
each type of account which work with varying degrees of success.
Changing location of pst data file for
IMAP email account
Changing
location of ost data file for an Exchange email account
Changing location of ost data file for a Hotmail Connector email account
Thanks Again,

Manual Removal of Office 2010 during Unattended 2013 install

As I'm sure it has been discussed many times before, the Office 2013 OCT deployment does a horrible job removing all Office 2010 components properly. Even with the option to "remove previous versions of Office before installing" selected,
there will still be pieces of Office 2010 lingering behind. It has been reported to me by our support department that this can randomly cause issues with Office 2013.
In these cases, our support group must manually remove the Office 2010 remnants and run a manual repair of Office 2013. Not ideal on 1000 systems.
To bypass all of this mess, I've attempted to add a command line via the Office Config Tool to remove Office 2010 as well as Lync 2010. I have configured OCT to Run a batch file
before installing Office2013 via the "Add installations and run programs" area. The batch file has 2 lines.
\\<server>\<share>\Office2010\Install\setup.exe /uninstall ProPlus /config \\<server>\<share>\silentuninstall.xml
\\<server>\<share>\Lync2010\LyncSetup.exe /silent /uninstall
Nothing too fancy here. Note that this batch file works as intended if I manually run it from command line on a workstation. So, I know that all of these commands are good. Also note, the sms installer account has access to the server and
shares specified in my commands.
This seems like it should be such an easy thing for OCT to pull off, but it just blows right by my batch file as if it doesn't exist. Am I missing something here? What can I do in OCT to ensure that it doesn't ignore this command?
Thanks,
David

I've seen this sort of query quite a few times over the past few months. The Office 2013 OCT tool does a fairly poor job removing previous Office versions.
Your uninstall argument is probably failing because your referencing an xml file that resides on a server file share. Config Manager will execute your argument using the system account so its probably a permissions based issue. You can test this by running
your uninstall argument using psexec which replicates this behavior.
I've approached this issue in a different way - you may wish to look at this option instead?
Microsoft have written some Office scrub vb script files to address the issue:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/odsupport/archive/2011/04/08/how-to-obtain-and-use-offscrub-to-automate-the-uninstallation-of-office-products.aspx
http://blogs.technet.com/b/odsupport/archive/2011/04/06/how-to-perform-an-uninstall-upgrade-to-office-2010.aspx
http://marckean.wordpress.com/2013/06/18/fully-automate-removal-of-any-version-office-in-preparation-for-office-365/
You could use a batch file wrapper as your Office 2013 Configuration Manager install command – something like this would work:
@echo off
SET INSTALL=%~dp0
:Remove Microsoft Office 2010 Suites
Cscript “%INSTALL%\OffScrub10.vbs” ALL /Quiet /NoCancel
:Install Microsoft Office 2013 Professional
Setup.exe
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 5 > nul
Has worked well for me. Note that you would need to add an additional line to remove Lync 2010 - probably something like msiexec /x {YourLync2010GUID} /q would be best.

Office 2010 User Settings NOT Migrated After Uninstall-Upgrade to 2013

Greetings,
We are in the final stages of preparing for an enterprise rollout of Office 2013, upgrading our user base from Office 2010. When we deployed Office 2010, we used the Office scrubber tool to remove Office 2003 and install Office 2010. Employing this same
technique, which is
fully documented by Microsoft as the recommended approach, the user settings from Office 2010 do not migrate to Office 2013. For example, the default save paths. If you set this to say, "C:\Temp", in Office 2010, that path will be changed
after upgrading to 2013. There are other settings impacted as well and hoping that someone has seen this or knows what might be going on. The method we've used during pilot is an in-place upgrade from 2010 to 2013 and that will retain settings but we also
see cases where the upgrade isn't clean and components of Office 2010 can be left behind. It is critical to a successful deployment that the uninstall-upgrade approach works flawlessly.
Thanks,
Doug

Hi Jori,
There are three types of permissions in the Manage User Permissions in User Profile Service Application(UPS): Create Personal Site, Follow People and Edit Profile and Use Tags and Notes.
If all the three permissions have been revoked from the user, then the user will not existed in the Manage User Permissions in UPS.
So you don’t need to anything else to remove the users from Mange User Permission in UPS after revoking all the permissions from the user.
As for the error when accessing Mange User Permissions in UPS, I recommend to restart the User Profile Service and add the user account to the Administrators of the User Profile Service Application.
In Central Administration, highlight the User Profile Service Application and then click Administrators in the ribbon.
If above cannot work, please provide more error message for the correlation ID in ULS log for further research.
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.
Best regards.

How to migrate Office 2010 Pro application most recently opened document (MRU) to Office 2013 applications

I am upgrading from Office 2010 Pro to Office 2013 Pro. In my test, we discovered that the MRUs are not getting migrated over from the Office 2010 Pro applications into the Office 2013 Pro applications. I am using the Microsoft
Office 2013 OCT to do the configurations. In the OCT, I have "migrate user settings" checked, but that did not work for the users MRUs. I came across the following link
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/67b3622f-5b7c-4c57-b71d-c8c7de6f7da9/office-2010-pro-to-2013-not-migrating-settings-and-recent-history?forum=officeitpro
That suggests manually creating the Migration key with sub keys like below
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Migration\Word]
"UpgradeVersion"=dword:0000000d
"Lang"=dword:00000409
On the test machine that I was using and had installed Microsoft Office 2013 Pro on, I found the keys listed as follows
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Migration\Word]
"UpgradeVersion"=dword:0000000e
"Lang"=dword:00000000
1) I would like to know which is correct subkey ("UpgradeVersion" and "Lang") to use?
2) Since I am using the OCT, can I add or import them into the OCT add registry entries section?
Thanks for your help.

Since you are doing an uninstall-upgrade the MRU list will not migrate by default.
"UpgradeVersion"=dword:0000000d means Office 14.0, also known as Office 2010
"UpgradeVersion"=dword:0000000e means Office 15.0, also known as Office 2013
"Lang"=dword:00000409 means Locale ID = English_United_States, and the "Lang"=dword:00000000 means default.
In this case, you plan to migrate Office 2010 to 2013. thus, the correct one is
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Migration\Word]
"UpgradeVersion"=dword:0000000e
"Lang"=dword:00000409 (00000000 is ok as well)
Yes, you may import them into OCT registry entries section, or you may deploy these registry keys before migration.

Office 2010 Tools Do Not Remove

I am upgrading office 2010 to office 2013 using the OCT setup. I have it so that it removes all the 2010 programs. But when i run the installer, it uninstalls the programs but it keeps the office 2010 tools. There is no setting in OCT to remove
these files.

Thanks for sharing the info that it's actually an Enterprise-level
deployment.
I'm not sure that if there is an .exe or script, but as an alternate workaround you can make this in two steps:
1. Please first create an Office 2010 MSP file and make
Office Tools to Not Available under Features->Set feature installation states. And run that MSP file first in your environment to remove Office Tool from all the
computers.
2. After that, please create another separate MSP file, then start upgrade Office and removes all the 2010 programs.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
