Publishing office 2013 on app-v server

Hi,
I'm trying to publish an office 2013 package that I have created using the ODT.
The technet guide (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/dn817830.aspx) I am using is telling me to use this command 'Add-AppvClientPackage <Path_to_AppV_Package> | Publish-AppvClientPackage
–global' from the client and then 'From
the Web Management Console on the App-V Server, you can add permissions to a group of computers instead of to a user group to enable packages to be published globally to the computers in the corresponding group.' from
what I can see it has worked as in I can now open word, excel etc.. but the package has not appeared on the appv server yet to allow me to configure permissions. Before attempting the above command I tried importing the package directly into the app-v
web management console but the app-v client could not see the package although it was in the correct security group.
Any pointers?
Thanks

+ note that it may take several minutes (10+) before a new published package appears on the client

My Windows Store (beta) is missing MS Office 2013 Preview apps

I used to have Win 10 TP (9926) on dual boot setup, and I had MS Office 2013 Preview apps installed.
Lately I removed the dual boot and installed Win 10 TP as the sole OS. At the same time I installed various programs I use regularly, one of which is MS Office H & S 2007.
Only today while reading a question about 2013 Preview apps, I decided to look for them in the Beta Store.
The 2013 Preview apps are no where to be found.
Not that it matters. I just wonder what happens ?

Have you tried typing "office" in the search box up at the top? That's how
I found them.
As for the apps them selves, they worked once for me and never again, no
matter what I do. (some apps work, some don't in my installs)

That will give me my installed 2007 version, not the 2013 Preview.

App-V 5 SP2 and publishing Office 2013 to users on RDS

Hello
I have a problem with App-V 5 on RDS Servers.
My scenario is like this, I have Office 2013 published Globally to over 20 RDS servers and I'm using App-Locker and groups to control access to the Office 2013 package.
Now when I add a new user to the office 2013 group he doesn't get the Office package published to him because the packages is in use and will be try'd at a later time. Witch means computer restart but I also have network loadbalance and session broker so the
user isn't always logging to the same server.
Has anyone had this problem or know how I can publish the Office 2013 package to the user's without restarting.
Best Regards Kristjan R. Halldorsson

Hello,
I am truely confused by how you are attempting to achieve things.
1. The Office 2013 package is only supported if deployed globally
2. AppLocker is the way to restrict users from starting different applications
3. Office 2013 is not supported to be published to users
It seems you have issues with #3. Which is not supported. I am not saying it "doesn't" work, but considering you have issues with it - perhaps we can start by not doing it?
Ok, so what do we have left;
Per your statement, Office 2013 is published globally. Ergo, all shortcuts and applications should be available to all users.
Is this true?

Office 2013 Std (local) in combination with Office 2013 Pro (App-V)

Hello,
I have multiple RDS servers, that have Office 2013 Std installed locally. I did this on purpose, after reading some blogs pointing out Office 2013 is a complicated applicatie to stream well. And of course Office 2013 is highly critical to my clients.
So I have a local installation of Office 2013 Std on every RDS server.
The catch is, that the client also has an open license for Office 2013 Pro. This is because some users need to work with 'Access 2013'.
So I thought it would be nice to use App-V to stream Access 2013 to the RDS servers. I have created the package for Office 2013 Pro, with Access in it. And I succesfully published Access 2013 to the group of users. So I can use Access on the RDS servers.
The problem is, that when I click on the appliation "MSACCESS.exe", the application pops up in taskmanager and is immidiatly shut down again. So it never launches. No error, no nothing.
I can't find any directions in the server, applicatie or App-V logs in the eventviewer. Does anyone have a clue where to look?
Thanks in advance

I think to be on a safe side, using a 'true' control system like AppSense or using dedicated RDS servers would be the only legally valid option.
Even when Office (or at least Access) is virtualized, the licensing part and product key handling is done natively on the RDS servers by the 'Office 2013 Deployment Kit'. Besides others this includes a locally installed 'licensing stump'. Therefor there
can be only one Office Suite product key be assigned to a RDS server machine.
In fact you could tell the Deployment Kit to use the Office Pro key (allowing a virtualized Access to run), but then also the locally installed Office Version would (attempt to ) be licensed as 'Pro'. That potentially won't work. In fact you could re-configure
the local Standard Office installation to consume Pro licenses, but that doesn't fit to your legal licenses.
As Aaron write, legally an Office license is bound to the endpoint device, so you'd have to make sure that your Access App-V package can only be access by permitted client machines. And while App-V can filter application on the accessing user and the executing
machine, it can't filter on the accessing end-point.
Though we don't like it... 3rd party or a server silo seem the way to go.

Office 2013 VL App-V 5 packages

Hi,
We are currently assessing the possibility of deploying Office 2013 as an App-V package since support for VL was announced with MDOP 2013 R2. I would like to create three independent packages:
Office 2013
Project 2013
Visio 2013.
I have successfully created the three App-V packages and they can all be imported an published independently. When I deploy more than one package to the same machine the existing package is un-published and the new package published. The aim is to
be able to deploy the Office App-V package to everyone and only deploy Visio and/or Project to certain users. Currently I can only achieve this by creating multiple App-V packages all including Office (i.e. Office + Visio, Office + Project and
Office + Visio + Project). Is there a supported way to have independent packages of Office, Visio and project 2013 which can co-exist on the same machine (for example, could I use connection groups between the independent packages?)
Thanks.

You should be aware of a few things:
Office App-V Packages must be published globally due to the OS extension points some of which won't work if published to users. See this article for more details: http://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn481351.aspx
Office, Visio and Project in separate packages may impact the user experience
Volume License editions of Office are licensed per device, so targeting users may place the organisation in breach of the licensing agreement

Thanks for your answers guys. It does seem the only way to achieve this is to have a single App-V package and use multiple configuration files to determine which combination of applications are published. Far from ideal...

Office 2013, Mail app error with W8.1

Hi,
Was recommended to repost in here, hope someone can provide a solution.
New to this forum, have searched and not found anything in regards to my actual issue.
Problem,
When you install Office 2013 Home and Business onto Windows 8.1 either an upgrade to 8.1 or a fresh install, I've found the mail program in Control Panel won't open.
You can't call apon the program from RUN or CMD, you can't even call apon the Mail app from Program files\office 15\mlcfg.clp right click and select Open in Control Panel.
This issue has arisen with Windows 8.1.
scenario, New Dell OptiPlex 3020 & 9020, You Install Office 2013 Home & Business either OEM or the OEM Builder pack, before or after then run the Windows 8.1 upgrade from the Store, attempt to open the Mail app in Control Panel and the
Mail app ceases to respond.
Yet, you are able to open the Mail app before the upgrade.
I just did a fresh install for a customer of Windows 8.1 OEM on an ACER laptop, tested with OEM media and the OEM Builders Install package, 32x & 64x installs and both failed to open the Mail app in Control Panel.
Actually the first install I performed didn't install the Mail app icon in Control Panel at all.
The only way I've found to rectify this issue is to run a full repair from Programs in Control Panel, which takes a while to run.

Hi ATR80,
As this thread has been quiet for a while,I would like to know if the issue happend again after you solved the issue by running a full repair from Programs in Control Panel?
If the issue persists,please try the method as I mentioned above to see if it works.
Meanwhile,if you need further assistance, feel free to let me know. I will be more than happy to be of assistance.
If the suggestion is helpful, please remember to mark it as answer which can benefit others who may encounter the similar issue as yours.
If you have any concern about this behavior, you can just unpropose it.

Office 2013/ 365 on 2012R2 server

Hi,
I'm looking at installing Office 2013 (Volume License version) on a couple of 2012R2 RDS boxes. I'm using the Office Deployment Toolkit.
Can someone please advise if in the Outlook Profile section, we have to enter the Office 365 server name? If so, what is it? We entered the one obtained from a desktop install of Office 365 but that didn't work.
Additionally, has anyone seen any issues with running this in cached mode (given that the office 365 server is in the cloud)? I'd like to store the outlook profile in a centralized location so as to reduce the footprint on the RDS boxes and to avoid having
to download email when logging in from different RDS servers.
Thanks very much,
HA

Hi HA,
Are you referring to Office Customization Tool here? I don't see any "Outlook profile section" in Office Deployment Tool.
As far as I know, you don't have to configure this while deploying Office 2013 in a Remote Desktop Service environment. Outlook profile will be created when the user access Outlook through a remote desktop to use their mail account.
Cached Exchange Mode is supported in a RDS environment. However, in this mode, Outlook stores a local copy of each Exchange mailbox and address book on disk for each client access, which will cost additional storage space and disk I/O for multiple client
access.
So, unless you are connecting over a high latency connection to an Exchange server that is located remotely, for better scalability, we recommend that you use Online Mode with RDS for large deployments. With Online Mode, no data is stored locally.

Office 2013 OneNote on Terminal Server

Hi,
Maybe I have a strange question but is it fully supported Office 2013 OneNote on TS? We are not using standalone. I am asking because many users have problem with connection when they trying to click on that link (when you open onenote) they get error:
Unfortunately, it seems that there are occasional problems with our servers ,
but everything is working locally but not in TS.
What can it be? Should be nice with few tips.
Best regards

Hi Kaktak,
Sorry if this is not of much help - I don't know that it is officially supported - but it doesn't seem to work well for a lot of people.
I have tried repeatedly to get it to work, never fully successfully. The biggest issues I have hit all seem to revolve around the service clearing its cache and deleting its print queues every time someone logs in... its a real pain!
If you do make a breakthrough, keep me posted - I'm in the same boat and will let you know if I can come up with anything.

Office 2013 - Templates contacting MS Server

Dear Community,
I've installed Office 2013 Std. on one of our Windows 7 (32 bit) without Office templates. But when I start Word or Excel, the system is always asking for a username & password. This message popups, because our proxy is blocking the connection to: office15client.microsoft.com
We won't allow the access to that and what I don't understand is: we installed without templates, but Office 2013 wants to connect to the internet. Has anyone an idea how to disable that?
Thanks for helping/discussing.

Hi,
How did you install Office 2013 without templates? Based on my test, only Access and Outlook have templates in the installation.
And try to uncheck File>options>trust center>trust options>privacy> "Allow office to connect to the internet" option in Excel 2013 and Word 2013 to check the issue.

Rtf-Vulnerability in Office 2013 Web Apps Server

I was trying to install a hotfix for our Office Web Apps server because of the vulnerability listed here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/advisory/2953095
The suggested solution is installing a hotfix (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/advisory/2953095). But when trying to install it on our Office Web Apps server (Windows Server 2012), I just a message that it can't be installed on this operating
system or for this version of the application.
How do I install the hotfix or disable RTF content for the Word Web Apps server?

Hi Lakner,
According to your description, my understanding is that the hotfix cannot be installed in Office Web Apps Server 2013.
As the articles below said, “the affected versions include Word 2003, 2007, 2010, Office for Mac 2011, Office Web Apps 2010 and Office Web Apps Server 2013. However, Microsoft said the active attacks have only targeted those systems running
Word 2010.”

THANK YOU
SM

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
From the provided video, it appears that user trying to save excel file on local system but the error dialog box says that there is no enough permission for user to perform that action.
Does this only apply when try to save document or same thing happens for other apps also?
Have you assign permission to user to save the local file?
Please check the whether you have not applied any permission to save the user file to users. Also please check the path where they are saving the document have access to that location.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Office 2013 app-v packages

In this article, http://blogs.windows.com/itpro/2013/12/02/announcing-mdop-2013-r2/   I see mention of an Office version called "Office 2013 ProPlus
App-V Package".    Is this a download? I don't see it available as one when I login to my VLSC site.
We plan to install Office 2013 pro plus VLA LOCALLY (on C:) in our vdisk for virtual machines, but will want to stream Visio,Project,Access 2013 to our users' VMs, using App-V.    (We used to use Citrix XenApp to stream them)
In the Citrix world, "streaming" is the opposite of Publishing or Hosting (running the app ON the server). Streaming means it copies over the files to the user's C: drive on their VM when they launch the appl.
Please advise.

Hi,
As far as I know, Microsoft Office 2013 App-V packages are created by using the Office Deployment Tool (ODT). The created packages may have Subscription Licensing or Volume Licensing.
You need to download Office applications through the ODT first, then convert it into an Office 2013 App-V package with ODT tool.
For more details, please refer to this KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2915745/en-us

App-V 5 SP2 and Office 2013 Pro Plus

Hi
We have a terminal environment (RDS) of 20 servers and have implemented App-V 5 SP2 in it and deployed Office 2013 to it.
We don't publish Office 2013 globally because not all users are supposed to get Office 2013.
We have 2 different deployment configurations (XML's) that are configured to universal groups and the user's are members of that depending on which configuration they are supposed to have.
Now the problem, when we log a user onto the RDS and he is a member of one of the Office group he get's the Office packages and the Integrator runs and "Mail (Microsoft Office 2013)" cpl is created in Control panel and everything works fine.
When the user logs off and on again and goes to another server in our farm he gets the Office packages but no integrator runs and there is no "Mail (Microsoft Office 2013)" in control panel.
But if the users happens to log on to the same server as he landed in first place then he has access to "Mail (Microsoft Office 2013)" in control panel.
We are using network load balance and session broker for our farm.
The office 2013 was sequenced as the instructions said and no extra features or addons where implemented.
Best Regards Kristjan R. Halldorsson

Hello,
It is only supported if you publish the package globally and since you aren't publishing globally this is most likely the reason you have issues.

Office 2013 - Incorrect Icons In Taskbar When Apps Running

Hi,
I have a a strange issue relating to Office 2013 (all apps in suite) in our school based Windows 7 domain environment.
When students login and run any app from the office suite they launch correctly and are able to be used. However the icon that is displayed in the task bar for say, Word, is not that of Word but is the icon for Database Compare 2013. Powerpoint
as another example always displays the Publisher icon. If you right click the icon the options available also refer to the incorrect app, so instead of an option to bring the Powerpoint app to the forefront it says Publisher.
The incorrect icon is always the same one for each app whenever launched and is the same for all users.
We have updated Windows and the Office to the latest patches. Possibly worth noting that we are running this config on Apple iMacs using bootcamped Windows 7 but I don't personally believe this has any bearing as it's only Office related.I have search
for instances of this issue and see there is a hotfix for incorrect icons when in a remote session rather than physically logged onto a machine. I also see references to deleting the icon cache for the user but local user profiles are scrapped on the
machines here when the student logs off.
Any help or pointers are greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Radar.

I've reviewed screenshot from you initial post on Answer forum.
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-office_install/office-2013-incorrect-icons-in-taskbar-when-apps/ef99ce77-1e88-44c5-8214-c6c69837a9ae
Since the icon shows fine in local but only incorrect through RDP session, I am thinking this might not be the promblem of Office application self. RDP session might not load the correct icon for Office duo to the file permission or wrong path.
Better to post your question to forum for Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Services)
