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 ;)

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 keeps asking for updates

Hi guys,
Looked around but can't seem to find anything for this. Have a user on office 2013. Win7. Any time he opens up any office application he has a message saying the software needs updating. If we click OK, we get the message saying we are all up to date. If
we close the application down and open it again, or another office app, the update message is back!
Any way to get rid of this?
Thanks

Is your Office a Click-To-Run version or a MSI (traditional) version?
If it’s a MSI version, please go to Windows Update and check if you have installed all updates for Office. If you have all updates installed, and issue still occurs, please try to repair your Office 2013 from Control Panel.
If it’s a Click-To-Run version of Office 2013, by default, Click-to-Run will automatically check for updates in the background. Please retry the update check by disabling and then re-enabling updates in:
File->Account->Update Options.
Also, if you have specified an UpdatePath in the Configuration.xml while deploying Office 2013, please make sure you have an updated source in that path：http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219426(v=office.15).aspx#BKMK_UpdatesElement
If updates still do not work, follow these steps to do an Online Repair:
1.Go to Control Panel
2.Click Programs and Features tab
3.Click on Microsoft Office, then Change
4.Click on Online Repair
5.Click on Repair

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 applications crash when opening/saving files in OneDrive for Business folder

My setup:
Windows 7 64-bit
Office 2013 Professional
OneDrive for Business (connected to Office 365)
Issue Description:
Example 1:
1. I create a file in OneDrive for Business using the appropriate web app (Excel web app, for example).
2. I edit the file in the web app, I save the file in my OneDrive for Business
3. I sync OneDrive for Business with it's local folder
4. Now I open the folder in Windows Explorer and double-click the Excel file
5. Excel splash screen shows up for a bit, and then Excel crashes
Example 2:
1. I open Word on my Windows 7 laptop
2. I start from a blank document and create some content in the document
3. I use the Save As option under the File menu to save the file to my local OneDrive for Business folder
4. As soon as I click the Save button on the dialog, Word crashes
The same happens with all the Office applications.
Important Note:
If I run the above examples with Excel/Word in SAFE mode, there is absolutely no issue.
What have I done so far?
1. I have made sure that the DisplayLink driver is the latest version from the manufacturer
2. There is no bluetooth send-to add-in in any of the Office applications
3. No add-ins are enabled in any of the Office applications (not sure if there are "stealth" ones that are not visible in the Options/Add-Ins dialog?)
Any assistance with this would be much appreciated.
JeHarry

Hi JeHarry,
Because I didn't have Windows 7, I did a test with Windows 8.1 based on your description. However, in my testing, everything worked well.
Please repair your Office under Control Panel, compare the result.
This forum is for SharePoint On-premise, as your issue is about Office 365, I suggest you create a new thread on Office 365 forum, more experts will assist you with Office 365.

App-V 5.0: Adding Visio 2013 and Project 2013 to a previously deployed virtual Office 2013

Good morning.
I can successfully deploy Office 2013 via PowerShell and App-V v5.0 without difficulty. I've read the document at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2915745/en-us and followed all instructions successfully.
My question is this: If Office 2013 without Visio 2013 or Project 2013 is virtually deployed, how can those components be added later?
For instance, we may have 100 users that acquire a virtualized Office 2013 without Project or Visio. We then may have 25 users that require a virtualized Office and Visio without Project and, perhaps, another 15 that require Office and Project without
Visio.
Currently, when I attempt a second virtual deployment of one of these components, it removes Office 2013 making it inaccessible.
How can Project and/or Visio be deployed to an already existing virtually deployed Office 2013?
Thanks very much.

As a part of MDOP, you'll also have access to UE-V which will provide a mechanism of moving user preferences across the same applications from difference packages.
It will require planning, configuration and deployment, but will ensure you don't face the same issue in the future.

App-V Office 2013 MLCFG32.cpl and Search indexing

Hi there,
I used the ODT to make an app-v package of office 2013. However when I try to load the mlcfg32.cpl it displays the following error:
The operating system is not presently configured to run this application.
I start the cpl from the following location:
C:\ProgramData\App-V\D24C3BDD-8FAD-44D3-998C-933F8F053682\764C2E31-0B14-4E44-818A-2836992E7EA6\Root\Office15
Also the search indexing isn't working in Outlook 2013, whenever I try to load the indexing status it keeps on loading with no result. I wanted to remove the profile from Outlook 2013, but with no mlcfg32.cpl it's very hard.
I also tried a repair of the application with no result.
Why is there so little information on packaging office 2013 in combination with App-v from Microsoft?

Well the package should be published globally, in the policy the global refresh is enabled. However when I look at the settings of the application I see the following:

Error when enabling the connection group with office 2013 and a plugIn

Hi,
I've created the office 2013 proplusVolume with ODT, published it globaly, Sequenced the plugin, with only the office 2013 as a published app-v package on the system, made the connection group with correct xml, but when I enable the connection group, I got
the error:
The connection group {xxx} version {xxx} could not be published because the
virtual COM settings of the individual packages conflict.
Verify that the virtual COM settings are the same for all member packages and try again.
The COM settings are made the same as the office package on the plugin package, but I still have the same error.
The Deployment-, and user-XML have this values (as it was for the office originally):
<COM Mode=”Integrated”>
<IntegratedCOMAttributes
OutOfProcessEnabled=”true” InProcessEnabled=”true” />
<Objects Enabled=”false” />
Why do I get this error?
Why is it merly impossible to track down the realy error?
What can i do to make this connection group work?

Right now the catalog is pulling from the AppXManifests inside the AppV Packages. You can see these settings by renaming the AppV file to .ZIP and browsing those files (READ ONLY) to see the default COM settings. Simply changing the Deployment Config files
is not enough. You will need to make sure the information is dynamically applied at publishing by specifying the -DynamicDeploymentConfiguration option when adding the package using the Add-AppvClientPackage cmdlet. You do not need to worry about the UserConfig
file.
If you are doing this in band with the management system, you would import this configuration in under Advanced Configuration for the package.

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?

"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:

Installing Office 2013 on several PCs in a small company

Rather than create individual Live IDs for each of the 7 PCs in a small company, in order to install Office 2013, can we install 7 copies of Office 2013 using a single Live ID? (each copy of Office 2013 is licenced individually, not bought through
VLSC).
Or, is there a better way to install several copies of Office 2013 in an organisation (that does not want to buy Volume Licencing, they just want to buy individual copies)?

Are you talking about the local install version Office 2013, or Office 365 (2013)?
Office 365 is "easier" if you are dealing with volume licenses. Office 365 "installs" very quickly, in a matter of minutes. So if you are talking about buying individual 365 business licensees, just document a short procedure telling users how to install
Office 365 (sorry, that may not work if they don't have admin rights on the PC).
If you bought Office 365 volume license, here is a procedure I pieced together:
How does a company install and control licenses - Business
Using Click to Run virtualization, the process of getting new users running has substantially changed. Because CTR installations are so fast, you no longer have to pre-install the software for users.
A business IT Admin controls use of corporate Office 365 licenses through the Office 365 Administration Center online.
Overview:
- In the Office 365 Administration Center the designated Office Administrator sets up the new USER ID
- Setup the associated email account(s)
- Setup Office licenses allowed to the userid
- the new User logs in to their new computer
- in Internet Explorer the user goes to the “Office 365 Portal” site to get their allowed Office 365 installation
- using the Click to Run installation process, Office 365 is installed and running on a new computer is a matter of minutes.
The following links will provide you with more detailed information of where to look and what to do. You may require some additional support from an “expert” .

through setting up new company and users.

Jeremy: So we showed the installation experience for a domain-joined computer where single sign on is enabled and one that is not domain-joined, but installs via the Office 365 portal. In the direct from portal case when you kick off the
installation, you will see a file that looks something like this:
Setup.X86.en-us_O365ProPlusRetail_24*****-45a2-4eeb-b06f-b14****189c8_TX_PR_.exe
In a future episode we'll talk about all of the configurations needed to suppress completely sign-in, first run experiences and user prompts. IT admins have had to deal with these in past releases of Office, but now there are ways to
automatically sign users in to Office 365 installs picking up their domain credentials. I also showed the effects of deleting the user account from the Azure AD store and how it put Yoni's Office into Reduced Functionality Mode (RFM) -
even if Yoni installs Office on his personal devices using his organization's Office software assets, once Yoni leaves the org the IT department can deprovision his personal installs. That keeps software asset management cleaner and IT is in control.
Yoni: Don't forget we also had Mark Russinovich on the show and he explained the security model for online services with Azure AD - in your car. It sounds like they are taking the defense in depth approach to harden the service. And you
made him slum it in your car, Jeremy.

This page also has a link to the same poster online (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38193 has PDF and Visio versions of the chart). As well, it goes into
more detail with information like the following:
… Because Office is a tool that is used by the same individual in two different roles, the new Office offers two identities with which users can log on to Office 2013:
A Microsoft account, which most people use for personal business
An organization ID that is assigned by Microsoft, which most people use when doing work for an organization, such as a business, charity, or school.
The credentials that are used to sign in are recognized as either personal or organizational. That sign-in identity becomes the user's “home realm” and determines which documents the user has access to on SharePoint, SkyDrive, or Office 365 Services for
a specific session. Each unique sign in identity is saved in a most-recently used list so that it is easy to switch between identities without leaving the Office experience.
a personal SkyDrive can be mounted to an organization identity so that personal documents can be accessed at work or school without ever switching identities. Also, when a user authenticates by using an identity, this authentication is valid for all Office
applications, not just the application he or she signed in to.
Two logon types are supported when users sign in to Office 2013, a Microsoft account or an organization ID that is assigned by Microsoft.
Microsoft account (the user’s individual account). This account, formerly known as Windows Live ID, is the credential that users use to authenticate with the Microsoft network and is frequently used for personal or non-business work, such
as volunteer work. To create a Microsoft account, a user provides a user name and password, certain demographic information, and “account proofs,” such as an alternative email address or phone number. For more information about the new Microsoft account, see
What is a Microsoft account?.
An organization ID that is assigned by Microsoft / Office 365 account ID that is assigned by Microsoft. This account is created for business use. An Office 365 account can be one of three types: a pure Office 365 ID, an Active Directory
ID, or an Active Directory Federation Services ID. These are described below:
Office 365 ID. This ID is created when an admin sets up an Office 365 domain and takes the form <user>@<org>.onmicrosoft.com, for example:
[email protected]
Organization ID that is assigned by Microsoft that is validated against a user's Active Directory ID. An organization ID that is assigned by Microsoft and validated against Active Directory as follows:
First, a person who has an [on-premise domain]\<user> account attempts to access organization resources.
Next, the resource requests authentication from the user.
Then, the user types in their organization user name and password.
Finally, that user name and password are validated against the organization AD database, the user is authenticated, and is given access to the requested resource.
An organization ID that is assigned by Microsoft that is validated against a user’s Active Directory Federation Services ID. An organization ID that is assigned by Microsoft and validated against Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS)
as follows:
First, one person who has an org.onmicrosoft.com attempts to access
partner organization resources.
Then, the resource requests authentication from the user.
Next, the user types in their organization user name and password.
Then, that user name and password are validated against the organization AD database.
Finally, that same user name and password are passed to the partner’s federated AD database, the user is authenticated, and is given access to the requested resource.
For on-premises resources, Office 2013 uses the domain\alias user name for authentication. For federated resources, Office 2013 uses the [email protected] user name for authentication.

This page summarized methods of administering Office 365
User Account Management
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj819300.aspx
Sign-in for Small Business subscriptions
Users receive Windows Azure Active Directory cloud credentials—separate from other desktop or corporate credentials—for signing into Office 365 and other Microsoft cloud services.
Sign-in options for Enterprise, Midsize Business, Kiosk, Academic, and Government subscriptions
Office 365 for Enterprise, Midsize Business, Kiosk, Academic, and Government subscriptions has two systems that can be used for user identities:
Organizational account (cloud identity) Users receive Windows Azure Active Directory cloud credentials—separate from other desktop or corporate credentials—for signing into Office 365 and other Microsoft cloud
services. This is the default identity, and is recommended for small and midsize businesses in order to minimize deployment complexity. Passwords for organizational accounts use the Windows Azure Active Directory
password policy.
Federated account (federated identity) For all subscriptions other than Office 365 Small Business and Office 365 Small Business Premium, in organizations with on-premises Active Directory that use single sign-on
(SSO), users can sign into Office 365 services by using their Active Directory credentials. The corporate Active Directory stores and controls the password policy. For information about SSO, see
Single sign-on roadmap.
The type of identity affects the user experience and user account management options, as well as hardware and software requirements and other deployment considerations.
Custom domains and identity options
When you create a new user, the user’s sign-in name and email address are assigned to the default domain as set in the Office 365 admin center. By default, the Office 365 subscription uses the <company name>.onmicrosoft.com
domain that was created with the Office 365 account. You can add one or more custom domains to Office 365 rather than retaining the
onmicrosoft.com domain, and can assign users to sign in with any of the validated domains. Each user’s assigned domain is the email address that will appear on sent and received email messages.
You can host up to 600 registered Internet domains in Office 365, each represented by a different namespace.
For organizations using single sign-on, all users on a domain must use the same identity system: either cloud identity or federated identity. For example, you could have one group of users that only needs a cloud identity because they don’t access on-premises
systems, and another group of users who use Office 365 and on-premises systems. You would use add two domains to Office 365, such as
contractors.contoso.com and
staff.contoso.com, and only set up SSO for one of them. An entire domain can be converted from cloud identity to federated identity, or from federated identity to cloud identity.
For more information about domains in Office 365, see the
Domains service description.
Creating user accounts
Office 365 provides five ways to create user accounts, some of which are not available for Office 365 Small Business and Office 365 Small Business Premium: Add single User, Bulk upload using *.CSV files, Active Directory Synchronization, Azure Active Directory
Module for powershell, Exchange Simple Migration
Password management
The policies and procedures for password management depend on the identity system.
Cloud identity password management:
When using cloud identities, passwords are automatically generated when the account is created.
For cloud identity password strength requirements, see
Change your password.
To increase security, users must change their passwords when they first access Office 365 services. As a result, before users can access Office 365 services, they must sign into the Office 365 portal, where they are prompted to change their passwords.
Admins can set the password expiration policy. For more information for Enterprise and Midsize subscriptions, see
Set a user’s password expiration policy. For Small Business, see
Change how often passwords expire.
License management
A subscription to Office 365 is made up of a number of licenses to a set of services. An administrator assigns a license to each user for each service that user needs access to. For more information about managing licenses, see
Assign or remove a license in Office 365 Enterprise, or
Assign or remove a license in Office 365 Small Business.

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:

"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.

Office 2013 click to run: configure specific options like in /admin setup

Hi,
In an Office 2013 click-to-run install, how can we set f.e. the Exchange server, disable Junk mail protection (we have a seperate system for that), disable RSS, username to be used in Outlook (%username%) etc?
We have that when using the office 2013 setup.exe /admin but not in the click to run.
I don't find these options in the config.xml reference: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179195%28v=office.15%29.aspx
Please advise.

Hi Jan,
Click-To-Run version of Office 2013 does not contain the Office Configuration Tool (OCT). And the
Config.xml file mentioned above is used to customize Windows Installer-based Office 2013 installations, not for Click-To-Run version of Office.
To configure these specific options for Click-To-Run version of Office 2013, you can use
Group Policy Administrative Template files (ADMX, ADML). The policy settings apply to both Windows Installer-based (MSI) and Click-to-Run version of Office 2013.
Download link for the Group Policy Administrative Template files (ADMX, ADML):

Here is the reference you'll need:

It's recommended to download and install
Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office
programs.
