Office 2013 Administrative Template files (ADMX/ADML) and Office Customization Tool

When I download the Office 2013 Admin Template files (ADMX/ADML) and OCT I get 3 files. Admin, AMDX and a excel spreadsheet. Is the Admin
folder the ADML folder? Reason I ask is b/c I'm trying to disable the Offie 2013 Startup screen via GPO and I have been directed to save the ADMX to %systemroot%PolicyDefinitions and ADML to %systemroot%PolicyDefinitions\en-us
on my base image that I am creating so obviously the ADMX is straight forward, but not the ADML since all I see is Admin. thanks,
SSC

Hi,
When you downloaded an Office Administrative Template files, please extract them to your driver, say
D:\. You need to copy all .admx file under D:\..\ADMX folder into
%systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions. It’s a root-level folder, which contains all language-neutral ADMX files.
Then please copy all .adml files under D:\...\ADML\en-us into
%systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions\EN-US. This subfolder contains the language-specific ADML resource files. You can create subfolder of %systemroot\PolicyDefinitions for each language that you will use.
For how to load the Administrative Template files, please follow the instructions for "Loading the ADMX templates" in Use Group Policy to enforce Office 2010 settings:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179081.aspx . Although the article is for Office 2010, the Administrative Templates information also applies to Office 2013.

Office 2013 Administrative Templates & GPO

Hey, everyone!
I’m sure someone here will know what I’m doing wrong, so hopefully it’s something simple.
This is my first attempt to utilize Office 2013 Administrative Templates in a GPO. I downloaded the templates from Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35554)
and extracted them.
I then created a new GPO so that the policy folder was created in logonserver\sysvol\%userdnsdomain%\policies\Adm.
In that folder, I copy the appropriate .admx files and the en-us folder.
Then, when I go to edit that GPO, I get an error:
The following error has occurred in \\Hudsonchapel.org\SysVol\Hudsonchapel.org\Policies\<GUID>\Adm\proj15.admx on line 1: Error
51 Unexpected keyword.
Found <?xml
Expected: CLASS, CATEGORY,
[strings]
The file can not be loaded.
This occurs for any .admx file I’ve tried.
I’m not sure what else to try. I’ve followed what I know to do.
Could someone help me figure out what I’m doing wrong?
Thanks!

Hi Eric,
>>I then created a new GPO so that the policy folder was created in logonserver\sysvol\%userdnsdomain%\policies\Adm.
In that folder
How is it going? Did we follow the article provided by Zanderol24 to create the Central Store for admx files? The location of central store is:
%systemroot%\sysvol\domain\policies\PolicyDefinitions
Regarding ADMX files, the following article can be referred to for more information.

Office 2010 Administrative Templates - Missing Policies

I have an Office 2010 GPO that needs to enable a policy called "Disable username and password" located at:
Computer Configuration --> Admistrative Templates --> Microsoft Office 2010 (Machine) --> IE Settings
It seems that policy, and any policy that should be there, does not exist.
I have added the admistrative template (.adm) files for the Office 2010 32-bit version. I have even added the .admx files to \\mydomain\sysvol\mydomain\Policies\PolicyDefinitions as well as added .adml files to "" ""\en-us.
Is there a step that I missed? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Jasmin

Hi Jasmin,
Before going further, I want to confirm where we got the administrative template files. Besides, we can follow the path of the central store to open
the admx file of Office 2010 to check whether some files are missing.
Regarding Administrative Template files for Office 2010, the following article can be referred to for more information.

App-V 5 Client + Office 2013 (Administrator OK, user Not OK)

Dear MS,
I've installed App-V environment onto our Windows 2008 RDS farm with your tech documents successfully.
Then I test it with a simple sequenced app (Mozilla Firefox and XML notepad) and it ran successfully.
I've also sequenced Office 2013 with ODT (Office Deployment Tool), no errors at the end.
But now the problems starts: when I log in as a normal user, then Office 2013 will show in Start menu, but disappears after a short time.
Logging in as Administrator doesn't have the issue, Office 2013 works perfectly.
The MS Office 2013 has been sequenced onto Win 2008 and 2012.
(yes, I know the 2012 sequencer is not ok for 2008 RDS, but the Firefox and Notepad were sequenced on Win 2012 and ran perfectly on Win 2008).
I did'n found related information on the technet forums.
What could it be? Kind of permissions on VFS? Where can I fix it? Or is the issue related to the sequencer?
ps. also tried installing MS hot fix 4 (and 5) for App-V 5 client, but the issues keep coming back.

What messages are in the App-V log in event viewer that might be applicable?
The message beneath viewed when an user log in. As an administrator, the event doesn't show up
Part or all packages publish failed.
published: 2 (Firevox and XML notepad)
failed: 1 (Office 2013)
Please check the error events of 'Configure/Publish Package' before this message for the details of the failure.
EventID 19104
Are you redirecting the Start Menu to the network?
Nope, the start menu shows only default applications when the user logs in.
The App-V Folder in Start Menu from Firefox and XML notepad are visible, but the office folder doesn't come up.
As an administrator, both Firefox, XML notepad AND Office folders are visible.
-but-
When I use Start Menu folder redirection, no one App-V application is visible (Event shows that Applications are loaded), how can I fix it here?
What are you using to manage user profiles?
I use AD User and Computer configuration to manage profiles
Does the application run if you browse to the EXE in Windows Explorer?
What does this to do with app-v? Because when you sequence the app, then is it no more EXE.
But, these EXE runs flawless in Windows Explorer (so there is no problem with the OS and the application).
Please help?

Office Administrative Template installation with 32 and 64 bits clients

Hello,
I would like to install the Office Administrative Templates (2007, 2010, 2013) but I don't really understand how.
I have several clients computers :
-Windows XP and 7 (the XP will disappear but not now so I have to handle with)
- 32 and 64 bits (OS and associate Office version)
- two Office languages (English and French)
In this case, what I have to put in the domain controllers (or in the central store for GPO, not matters), to cover all the cases ?
I do not understand the x86 or x64 Office administrative templates versions neither how the languages are managed.
Thanks a lot.

The Office2013 Admin Templates+OCT is available in both 32bit and 64bit formats
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35554
Because the download contains the Templates *and* the OCT (OPAX/OPAL and various DLLs etc), and, the OCT itself and also the OCT output file (a customization MSPfile) is architecture-specific, that is why there is a 32bit and a 64bit download.
The ADMX/ADML files themselves, are not architecture-specific.
ADMX and OPAX, is language-neutral, the language-specific details are contained within ADML/OPAL.

Office 2013 Document Templates

Morning All,
I have successfully installed the ADMX templates for Office 2013
Changed the workgroup path to the server where I stored all the letterheads etc
However by default in MS Word the workgroup path hasnt changed to what it should be I have to select it manually
The GPO should force it to the path I entered unless I am mistaken?

I did ineed, I tested it with a SG and although the workgroup templates are there. the path on each machine still is blank so I have to point it at the share on the server where the templates are stored.
if you check the registry directly, is this registry path correctly populated?
HKCU\software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\common\general!sharedtemplates
If you set the setting by using the UI, it will set this key instead:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\General!sharedtemplates

Crawled Property OFFICE:7 (document template) is not crawled and thus not mapped to managed property

Hi,
our customer (SharePoint Enterprise 2013) wants to crawl the information which Office template was used for creation of a Word/Excel/PowerPoint file for refining in his searchcenter.
We did some research on that topic and found out, that this information should be crawled in the buildin crawled category OFFICE in the crawled porperty 7. But so far any attempts to get any mapping working on this crawled property have been insufficient/frustrating...
What we did:
Map the crawled property to the RefinableString00 Refiner, add this refiner to the refiner web Panel and then do a full crawl. So far the refiner does not show up, and when using the "Query tool" we see that the managed property is empty and not
filled. For Debugging I tried to map nother crawled property to this refiner OFFICE:2 => Title of OFFICE:4 => Author which worked out just fine. So the refiner configuration seems to work but the crawler somehow does not seem to get the template Information
out of my documents. I even opened the uploaded word documents in Word to control if the template Information is correctly readable and you can see in the properties of the file, that normal.dot is filled out.
We even controlled the properties of the crawled property, it´s "isMappedToContents" is set to true.
with Kind regards, I really Do hope someone has a clue
David

All the content which is crawled will be part of search results by default including all the data in the list and documents. Mapping crawl property with Managed property helps if you want to execute a keyword query : Title(column)=SharePoint or
Title;SharePoint
You will typically need to do this kindda mapping if you want to
1. filter data based on column in Advanced Search Web Part
2. Add your custom column as part of search results on result page.
3. Add column based FILTER on Search result page.

Server based Office 2013 - New template, template not showing header content in one work station only

This is for Server based Office 2013 - using Word
All computer work stations are running Windows 7 professional
I have Word 97 - 2003 templates saved on the shared drive on the server. I have these templates "pinned" to the opening page on all server user accounts, so when anyone starts word on the server anyone can see the company templates.
On most of the work stations, when I create a new document from one of my templates - Word successfully shows all the Header and Footer details.
But on one work station there is no content in the Header or Footer, no matter which server account is signed into the server on that workstation.
Any suggestion

... ... no matter which server account is signed into the server on that workstation.
Any suggestion
Do you mean it happens regardless of which acount signed in? If so, maybe update the workstation?

Office 2013 Suppress Default File Type Popup

Hello,
during evaluation for Office 2013 we get this popup at the first start. We have configured the default file types for word, excel and powerpoint to .doc-File Format via GPO. Can we disable this Popup via GPO or the OCT-Wizard?
I have found some Posts to disable the Popup via registry, but we wouldn´t like to set entrys for this popup in the registry, if its possiable to disable the popup via GPO or OCT.

Looks like this is a known issue that we have no way to suppress this dialog, even forced the default file type for Office applications, the box still appears.
Please check these two thread:

Office 2013 product key for Miix 2 and other SST devices

With the 8" "SST" tablets, Microsoft has included a free version of Office 2013 Home and Student edition. I have a Miix 2 and want to reinstall a clean version Windows and install a clean version of Office.
How do I obtain the license key from Lenovo? I did not have a key in the box when I purchased the device.
This reference article is not relevant since the "SST" devices include a free license and it is only available through Lenovo. I've already reached out to Microsoft and Amazon.com (the reseller in my case) and neither can provide the key.
I'm currently not able to restore from the recovery partition.

Office 2013 Pro - Error Message - I cannot set Office 2013 as the default mail client

I have a number of PCs on a single domain in the same office all running Windows 7 Pro. Some at 64 bit and some are 32 bit depending on their age.
My issue is that on upgrading from Officer 2010 Pro to Office 2013 Pro, the only application I have a problem with is Outlook 2013, and only on the 64 bit machines.   The upgrade on 32 bit machine goes perfectly.   On both I install the
32 bit version of Office 2013 as per the MS notes.
When the 64 bit machines reboot and the user logs on I get the message, sometimes twice:
Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfil the message request. Please run Microsoft Office Outlook and set it as the default mail client.
OK, so this should be straight forward:
I set outlook at the default mail client and associate all file with it from Outlook\File\Option. Nope. That does not work.
I go through default programs and set the default mail client as Office 2013 and associate all file with it from Outlook.   Nope. That does not work.
I check the registry and it shows that the 64 bit or 32 bit reversion is the default mail client. So that does not help.
I install the 64 bit version instead of the 32 bit version. Nope. That does not work.
I clean the registry and temp file. Nope. That does not work.
I set a new mail profile for the user. Nope. That does not work.
Odd that it only upgrades smoothly on the 32 bit machines.
Has anyone got any ideas?   All the suggested fixes on this forum do not fix this issue.

Hello.
Same problem, nothing Works!!!
Help please, really frustrated and angry.
Added written above I tried:
Uninstalled with the Microsoft fix uninstall
and reinstall. This does not work.
Contact the phone technical support. This
does not work.
Addin,s does not work. Adobe, iCloud Addin .... does not work.
'Send email to'   menu does not work.
No application communicates with
Outlook, no Microsoft or third apps.
I can only send and receive emails
from within Outlook.
This program is lousy, any
possibility that my money back.
Thanks

Configuring Office 2013 Default Font Type via Group Policy / Office Customization Tool

Hello,
I'm trying to get a default font set for all word 2013 Users that access word via the Terminal Server. I have not been able to find any articles that shows how to get it done, though i found this technet link (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179141.aspx)
which says to use the Office Customization Tool, but I see no options for font type/size change in the options when I use the OCT. Thanks a lot for your help.
Sola

Chris,
My question extends beyond Word. We have some older printers that do not have Calibri in them, so any office product that prints Calibri comes out garbage. Some things simply cannot be changed as needed (ex: outlook body messages can not be changed).
How can I change back to Arial for everything office produces. Thanks in advance, my users are ready to kill me.
Mark
a) I haven't seen printers which use "hard" fonts in over 15 years - are you sure about that?
b) this might help you:

Office 2013 Visio product will not activate in Office 2013 E4 subscription model

Perform a complete uninstall, and reinstall with Visio first, complete the primary office suite afterwards.
I have to do the same for another user tomorrow but with Project.

Hope someone can help with this. Frustrating!We have Office 365 E4 subscriptions, with Office 365 subscription and Office 2013 installed on the desktop. We have some users who use Visio 2013 as well. We have four licenses, and all four were used. I unassigned one from one user, and want to transfer it to another user. Office 2013 is already installed and activated.During the installation of Visio, I get prompted for an email account. I enter the company email account registered to the user. Then it asks if this is a Microsoft account or work account, so I select Work. Then I enter the email password for the user's Office 365 subscription account.I get this message "The products we found in your account can't be used to activate Microsoft Visio Professional 2013". I have Office 2013 Professional installed, and have assigned the new user...
