Office 365 Pro Plus - updates from the internet

Hi All
I've used the Office deployment toolkit to download Office 365 Pro Plus to a local file server, and have now packaged this up within SCCM 2012 for deployment to clients.
In my configuration.xml file i have the following set for updates
<Updates Enabled="TRUE" />
I understand that this setting allows for updates, and client will download them from the internet.
Is this correct?
I am concerned that the Office 365 source files i downloaded are a few months old now, so will be out of date and i am relying very much on my deployed clients to be downloading updates as expected. Do i need to do anything else?
Thanks

<Updates Enabled="TRUE" />
I understand that this setting allows for updates, and client will download them from the internet.
Is this correct?
That's correct, with Updates element configured as "TRUE", the Click-to-Run update system will check for updates from the CDN server automatically. So with this configuration, you will always be up-to-date:

Deploying with an old build should be no problem here, but why not re-download a newer build with ODT (Office Deployment Tool). That should not take too much time and will definitely reduce the network bandwidth consumption when Office 365 updates itself
from each client after the deployment...

Deferring Office 365 Pro Plus Updates (possible?) - Clicking Cancel fails install (no deferral or advert retry)!

I'm planning to deliver Office 365 Pro Plus updates via SCCM where i can control the build versions and use the already available SCCM to do so.
My issue is around the user clicking "Cancel" when they are prompted with the notification window to close down Office apps when trying
to release an updated build version.
This is because when the user selects cancel the application fails with "The exit code
is 17002, the execution status is FailureNonRetry" = FAILED. This message is taken from the execmgr.log.
Ideally I'd like to allow the user to defer the install say 3 times and afterwards deploy it mandatory...like how you could manage WSUS patches.
Does anyone have any helpful suggestions around this? Thanks in advance!

I'll answer my own question again...:/
If you re-run the advertisement set the schedule to something like daily then as expected the user will be re-prompted with the notification window providing they have a office app open at the time of deployment. Ensure the program is set to re-run
on failed attempt.
However this will continue to be re-curring and you'll never know when the user will decide to click close programs to continue the install. So i worked around this by using a program wrapper from AppDeploy which worked a treat. It allows you
to defer programs a specified number of times. Very helpful on the user interaction side of things.

Office 365 Pro Plus - Fail to update Build version when user clicks 'Cancel'

I'm planning to deliver Office 365 Pro Plus updates via SCCM 2007 where i can control the build versions and use the already available SCCM to do so.
My issue is around the user clicking "Cancel" when they are prompted with the notification window to close down Office apps when trying to release an updated build version.
This is because when the user selects cancel the application fails with "The exit code is 17002, the execution status is FailureNonRetry" =

Generaly, this is not possible I think, at least nothing can be done on Office side. Office
365 cannot install the new build if any Office applications are running.
We do have a attribute (FORCEAPPSHUTDOWN) that can be set in configuration.xml file to force shutting down any applications that block the action, but this will not
make the process your ideal way.
So through Office if you click Cancel the user cancels the update and will not be re-prompted? Surely in the corporate world you would want them to be compliant and not have the user ultimately manage their patch level?
I am already using Forceappshutdown but enabled the display level (in the config.xml) which is how they are prompted to close the app. For sure doing this silently would not be feasible. It would automatically close office regardless. Definite no no.
I will repost in the SCCM forum and see if i have any luck if what you say is true. I can't be the only person with this issue. I need to find some guidance on deferral procedures.

Office 365 Pro Plus Install or deployment issue.

Users downloading the software direct from the user portal leaves them stuck on the setting up office when they don’t have office on their systems and does not allow them to download it.
Downloading to the network to deploy gives the error that they may not be connected to the internet which makes no sense at all but I’ve tried it three times all with the same result. IT downloads the actual installer file to
the server but it keeps giving that same error.

Office 365 pro plus 2013 update won't apply automatically

Hi
We have started to use office 365 pro plus 2013 click to run. The issue / problem we have is that the updates are installing but does not apply. The version of word,excel.. Is old
and i need to manually go to example word and account to apply the updates. I want the updates to automatically apply.
In the config file i have enabled updates. <Updates Enabled="TRUE" />. I have also enabled updates thru group policy and checked that the policy is applying.
In the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\ClickToRun\propertyBag i have the following keys:
updatesenabled = 1
UpdatesDiscoveryPeriodComplete = 1
updatesreadytoapply = 15.0.4535.1511,en-us
UpdatesDiscoveryPeriodStartTime = 13026393682226
updatesthrottlevalue = 313
version = 15.0.4535.1004
Does anyone have this problem and know how to make the updates apply automatically. I know that if there are office applications open it won’t apply or update but i have a test
computer with no office applications running in the process list and still it won’t apply the updates.

Office 365 Pro Plus Security Update User Permissions - Sccm

I plan to deploy Office 365 Pro Plus using Sccm 2012. My configuration setup file has this line Updates Enabled="TRUE" UpdatePath="Share" . My users are not local administrators of their workstations. If I update the office
share with a patch, will my users have permissions to install the update? If not then how will my users get updated?
Steve Bender

Hi Steve,
Yes, with this confirguration, every Office 365 client will automatically check updates from the update location configured during setup - "Share", in your case.
You should make sure that it's a share (like an internal UNC or HTTP path) that every Office 365 client has permission to access.
Here's the references you'll need:

"perfboost.exe" error during Office 365 Pro Plus Patch Update (via SCCM)

When deploying a newer version of Office 365 Pro Plus to a client machine a pop-up appears with a error message as shown below:
Things I've done to rectify include:
Re-downloading Office & Redistributing before retry
Re-imaged computer to ensure a fresh build.
The installation continues until completion. After checking the Office i can see it is updated to the newer build version.
However as this is to be used in the corporate environment i cannot have this error message appear. I'm sure i cannot be the only one to experience this.
Any advice is appreciated!

Hi,
Appvisvsubsystems32.dll is a type of DLL file associated with Microsoft Application Virtualization.
This might happen due to invalid or corrupt Appvisvsubsystems32.dll registry entry or another program overwriting the version or uninstalling the Dll file.
Mostly such issues can be rectified by manually registering the Appvisvsubsystems32.dll using the Regsvr32 tool.
I did follow a weblink to resolve this issue, which might help you aswell.
Try it...

Deploying Office 365 Pro Plus from a network share?

I have setup a network share to install to a number of users, who I have applied licensing to and have created a script to run the setup with the xml configuration file.
The install runs completely fine, installs the 365 Pro Plus, but when the user goes back and starts a program, I get the activation needed button and the user clicks on it and up comes the Install product page that redirects to their online account and asks
for the Office to be installed again.
Here is my xml config file. Is the autactivate portion correct?
<Configuration>
<Add SourcePath="\\leo\office365" OfficeClientEdition="32" >
<Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
<Language ID="en-us" />
</Product>
</Add>
<Display Level="Full" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
<Logging Path="%temp%" />
<Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" />
</Configuration>

Hi,
As per the description, I understand that you are having issues with Office 365 activation after the installation.
I have tested this on my own machine (with a similar configuration.xml file). It works well if I enter the correct email address that's associated with this Office subscription.
Does this affect all users (email address)? I'd first suggest you check if you've installed the correct version of Office that's associated with these user accounts.

Deploying Office 365 Pro Plus via SCCM

Hi
I am trying to deploy Office 365 Pro Plus via SCCM, I followed this process https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/How-To-Deploying-Office-70e8b1eb#content , we don't use the application catalogue but I made the application available to be run via system
center.
Though can't get it deployed, I keep getting some errors about checking internet connections ...though I can run the command manually and it'works.
Does anyone managed to install it via SCCM ?

Thank you for the reply,
Where I am lost is where it downloads the Office C2R from ?

Please login to your Microsoft account at
Office.com/myaccount to check if the Office 365 subscription is available for your current account.
Once the new Office has been redeemed and activated, the end customer will not need to use their Product Key anymore as they will access their

Adding Licenses for Office 365 Pro Plus and Power BI

Hello. I have one license for Office 365 Pro Plus and one Power BI license. I want to buy another Power BI license to assign to a prospective client so he can log on to my Power BI site and view Power Pivot reports in the browser. I think that I need to
purchase an additional Office 365 Pro Plus license ($12/mo) as well as an additional Power BI license ($40/mo). Is this correct?
My other question has to do with what I believe is referred to as my Organizational account. I have one for Office 365 and a different one for Power BI. That is, my logins are different for the two subscriptions. I'm not sure how this happened or even if
it's important. I have had no issues installing Office 365 on my desktop, laptop and tablet and I can upload files to my Power BI site and access them. Does it matter that my organizational accounts are different?
Finally, if I have it correct in paragraph 1 that I need an additional license for both Office 365 Pro Plus and Power BI, do I just login to the two separate organizational accounts and add a license to each one?
Thank you.
Regards
Arthur

Hi Guy. I went ahead and purchased both licenses. The Office 365 is only $12/mo so it's not a big deal.
After getting that great information from you on the other post, I contacted Microsoft support and got this issue straightened out. I did have two accounts (domains). They had me cancel my Office 365 subscriptions on the account that I purchased those subcriptions
on and then resubcribed to Office 365 on the Power BI account.
Thanks again for all of your help.

Excel crashes after sending mail (Office 365 Pro Plus)

Hello All,
A user reported that Excel crashes after sending mail.
Excel is part of Office 365 Pro Plus and is fully update (Feb 2015). Also there is no add-in enabled.
Is there a way to raise a log or fix this issue?.
Regards
JO

Hi George,
Thanks for your reply.
The scenario is what you had described:
The user goes to File --> Share --> Email --> Send as Attachment. When he click "send
it" and then Excel crashed and got the "Excel has stopped working" error.
User didn't get "Excel has stopped working". User can't modify or close the Excel. So he had
two options:
- Kill the Excel Process
- Close Outlook then Excel can be used.
It seems Outlook is causing this issue (as you said).
When Excel Crashed after sending mail, I noticed that there is no pending request on Outbox.
Regards
JO

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.

Error when Launching Office 365 Pro Plus in Remote Desktop Services

Hello, I have Windows Server 2008 R2 and I have installed Office 365 pro plus volume license but I keep receive the error when I launch the product I receive this error "This Copy of Microsoft Office 2013 cannot be used on a computer running
Terminal Services. To use Office 2013 on a Computer running Terminal Services, You must use a Volume License Edition of Office"
Jim G

Unlike managed volume-licensed environments, Office Professional Plus for Office 365 cannot use Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) or Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services as deployment options. Because Office Professional Plus for Office 365 is
based on the Retail SKU, you cannot install it on a Terminal Server.
For the detailed information about Deploying Office Professional Plus for Office 365, you can refer the following article:
