Thanks and best regards, -- KF

Here's a simple query which target the "Program and Features" (Add/Remove Program) of your computers.
Do you get any results ?
select B.Name0, B.AD_Site_Name0,B.Operating_System_Name_and0, A.DisplayName0
from v_Add_Remove_Programs A inner join v_r_system B on B.ResourceID=a.ResourceID
where DisplayName0 like '%Microsoft Office 2013%'

Choosing Office 2013 volume licensing plan ... or going retail ... or subscription ... or hunting for 2010 ... what a headache ...

Our company currently runs an office software equivalent comparable to Office 2003 level. I was researching options (licensing!) for stepping up our office to real Microsoft Office product ... and got stuck with that idea ... totally confused at this point.
Am I missing something or the cheapest SMB volume licensing option for MS Office 2013 (Standard, no Access component) is like twice as expensive as the retail equivalent? Why is that so? It makes no sense to me at all.
I can find retail box of Office 2013 Home and Business for around $190 while the cheapest Open License for similar equivalent seems to be priced at $369 (what!?) ... and that is even without Software Assurance?
Makes it kinda hard to convince management about benefits of VL program over retail ... especially since we are not a Volume Licensed customer (yet) and this purchase *might* make it worth becoming one (does it?).
On top of that I can't even make decision if we should really go with Office 2013 after reading about live/online account requirement for activation, and here a question how does it work in volume licensing version? I assume it will be a great pain with
installs from retail media and activation, but VL should have some tools or workarounds for that, no? I read that Office 2010 didn't have such problems and am sad I didn't push towards it when it was still available on retail market.
Maybe we should go with 2013 subscription for first year and see how that works for us ...
One thing for sure, I've been digging around this subject for weeks and my headache doesn't want to go away.
Open to suggestions.

anybody, any insights?
Pls, also note that I run a one person IT department for this company, so all the dirty work (installs) will be done by me, hence my question. I can do deployments via GPO, but would like to know about activation gotchas (MS live accounts) for Office 2013,
is that true for retail licenses?
As per Volume Licensing, am I looking right and cheapest 1 computer Office 2013 open license stands for like $369? why is i so expensive in volume licensing plans? I doubt our management approves it this way ... which probably means retail licensing for
me and a great headache with activations over a sneaker net ... times 30 ...

Office 2013 Volume License Activation question

Hello,
we have software assurance, so MAK and KMS are available for O2013.
I cannot use KMS server (there are reasons for now). So I have to use MAK. I know that it is possible later on to convert MAK to KMS.
I found topic about ADBA. But missing few points from the description after my 2 questions.
1. Can I use KMS key for use with Volume Activation Tool without actually having KMS installed?
2. at the end it says just 180 days activation. What will happen then?
From:
http://searchenterprisedesktop.techtarget.com/tip/Using-Active-Directory-activation-and-other-new-Office-2013-tools
-------Prior to Office 2013, IT had to rely on Multiple Activation Key (MAK) or Key Management Service (KMS) activation. These processes were generally more complex than ADBA. Little has changed with either MAK or KMS in Office 2013. With ADBA, however,
IT can easily
activate Office 2013 clients through their connections to the domain.
To implement ADBA, administrators must use the Volume Activation Tools utility, which walks them through the setup process. After admins supply the KMS host key, the setup process adds an activation object to the
Active Directory Domain Services. The activation object uses the same Generic Volume Licenses Key (GVLK) and KMS host pair as that for regular KMS activation. When the client joins the domain, the activation object automatically activates the Office installation,
granting a license to the client for 180 days. --------------

Q1) there is a KMShost product key, and there is a KMSclient product key.
The KMShost product key, you install this in your KMShost machine, and the client machines which have the KMSclient product key will contact your KMShost machine for activation.
Volume Licensed products are provided by MSFT with the KMSclient product key already installed. The KMSclient product keys are also publically available in the TechNet library documentation.
VAMT can be used, with or without KMS installed. VAMT is not part of KMS, and, KMS is not part of VAMT.
ADBA is not part of VAMT and VAMT is not part of ADBA.
ADBA can only be used if your AD is at the later version, and, ADBA only works for the latest products like Windows8 and Office2013.
If you have older AD or older products you will still need to have KMS or MAK.
Q2) after 180days, it's the same as KMS - the KMSclient (or ADBA client) will enter "non-genuine" mode if the client has not contacted ADBA object (or KMShost) to renew the activation status.
This wiki article I put together, includes a few helpful links about ADBA and KMS:

Configuring RDS to specific NIC Adapter + Avoid Office 2013 Volume Licensing

Background: Small Company basically 1 User (me)... I've recently purchased a new server class computer and have downloaded and installed Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials. I have 2 routers, 1 for home use (192.168..) and other provided to me by the
company I contract to (10.41..). I have a 4 port independent NIC card. I connect to a company configured VM through a Remote Desktop Connection. I also need to run Lync 2013 on the Windows Server 2012 machine in order to communicate internally
with other members of the company.
My Understanding: In order to configure the remote desktop connection to my VM to use a specific NIC adapter I must first install the Remote desktop Session Host service. Then I should be able to configure the RDP-TCP connection to use a specific NIC
adapter. However, when I install the Remote desktop Session Host Service and I try and run Lync 2013 I receive an message stating that because I'm running Remote Desktop Services on this server I need to purchase volume licensing for my Office 2013 product.
Question: Is there a way for me to configure my Windows Server 2012 R2 environment so that I can first specify a specific NIC adapter to use during my RDP session into my VM and also allow me not to have to purchase volume licensing for the Office 2013 product.
-=Duane=-

Hi Duane,
As per my research, if you have RDS license and CAL installed still you need to purchase Office licensing to use office product. Office Professional Plus 2013 and Office Standard 2013 are licensed on a per-device basis. Users can only remotely access a copy
of Office Professional Plus 2013 or Office Standard 2013 running on a network server from a licensed device. Therefore, your windows need the latest Office suite license assigned to the device.
For more information.
1. Licensing Office on Remote Desktop Services
2. Microsoft Office
For Network Adapter, you can try PowerShell Command and rename your NIC specific to RDS so that you can identify that specific NIC is used by RDS for connection. For that you can do following things.
List of Network Adapter: Get-NetAdapter
Rename Network Adapter: Rename-NetAdapter -Name "Wired Ethernet Connection 4" PublicInternet1
Please find below snap and link for more information.
1. Using PowerShell for NIC Configuration Tasks
2. Use PowerShell to Configure the NIC on Windows Server 2012
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Dear Exprt,
we have receive common issue with office 2013 package download.

Please check that all the files have been copied to the distibution point check the logs for errors and check the distibution package from the server share. Also make sure that the SCCM has correct rights the get the source material AND that the path to
source material is set correctly and contains no errors. When running the advertisement at the client side could you check that the local cache contains all the files you have set into the distribution point.

SCCM 2012: Office 2013 click to run deploy?

Hi,
We would like to run Office 2013 next to Office 2010. Therefore the click-to-run option (app-v is only possible for Office 2013 ProPlus) looks the way to go.
I found a nice guide a Office 2013 Plus “Click to run” Deploy in SCCM:
http://www.peters.com/Blogs/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=90 However (posted it also on the site), can I use the /admin to generate the configuration.xml instead and use it within SCCM 2012 deploy?
J
Jan Hoedt

No. Click-to-run does not use the traditional Office setup methodology and thus does not have the same configuration options. More info at

Office 2013 Volume licensing Activation using VAMT

Can we activate office 2013 pro plus volume license edition using VAMT 2.0

I found a confirmation on this link:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/office_resource_kit/archive/2013/01/30/volume-activation-of-office-2013-frequently-asked-questions.aspx
Why would I want to use Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT) 3.0 rather than VAMT 2.0?
In addition to KMS and MAK activation, which VAMT 2.0 supports, VAMT 3.0 supports Active Directory-Based activation. For general information about VAMT, see
Manage Activations Using the VAMT. For more information about VAMT 3.0, see
Introduction to VAMT 3.0.
The quoted article doesn't confirm the question asked.
The quickest way to confirm if VAMT2 is suitable for Office2013 is to test it.
Even if it *does* work, it may not be "supported" by MSFT.
I've asked a MSFT contact this question, it may take a few days to get an answer. (and, the answer might be "it's not supported"..)

Office 365 user online status

I am developing a search page where displaying users from office 365. I have retrieved all the users using the command Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.UserCollection userCollection = client_Context.Web.SiteUsers;. To retrieve all the property values
for a user i have used this command Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.UserProfiles.PersonProperties userInformation = peopleManager.GetPropertiesFor(oUser.LoginName);
Now my customer wants to show the indication of user currently available in online or not. I don't know whether i will get this value from a property or need to call any other service to check online status.
If anybody have any information please answer my question.

Online Presence in SharePoint is provided client side by using whatever instant messaging client the user is using. SharePoint doesn't actually keep track of who is online. Here's an answer to another question that discusses the HTML used to
display presence.

No. It is not possible for admin to get this data at all, in any way, from anywhere. Only the individual user can examine their activations/consumption.

AD RMS Issue on MS Office 2013 & Workgroup workstations

Dear All,
I've been trying to test DRM server with an internal database by distributing templates manually while triggering task scheduler on each clients PC's. Below are some of the issue which I'm facing;
I'm planning to expand this externally so that users can connect to the DRM from outside. Will this work by using an internal database & how am I suppose to achieve this
One user who has signed into his surface using a gmail account though the PC is connected to the domain. User cannot open a protected IRM document as the error says to open one.
I'm currently adding an expanded registry value pointing the DRM templates location for MS office 2010 users who're on windows 7. I do not know how to apply these to work with the automated task scheduler using a group policy where the available steps on
microsoft site is pretty confusing.
For office 2013 users, at initial step it gets the templates from the DRM server while trying to open a IRM protected document. But the problem is that still I'm pushing templates through task scheduler manually.
How am I suppose to over come this as this has been a big hassle for me to fix such issues. Also, which URL should I add to the template for a user to request permission when he/she doesn't have the privileged to open a document. Also, I cannot access IIS
server to request/view license as I'm receiving below error.

The 25004 is normally associated with trying to re-installa trial on a machine that has had that trial installed. But you say that is not the case
Did you just click "Run" directly when you try the Fixit tool? The Fix It tool
might not work if you click "Run" directly, Please try to save the Fix it tool locally and then use it. Even if you think you don't have Microsoft Office installed, run it anyways.
You might also need to try the manual removal steps given in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501? If you’ve tried only the Fixit so far, try the manual removal steps now. Then restart and reinstall.
This might be helpful:

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.

Reduced Functionality Mode - Office 2013

Is it possible to force Office 2013 (volume license) into a Reduced Functionality Mode straight away without having to wait out the 30-day trial?
I have a fairly niche application with regular imaging and I'd like my default images to have read-only Office installed. Hardware that needs editing can then have a product key entered to activate and unlock.
Thanks

Hi,
As far as I know, currently we can't bypass the grace period of the 30-day trial, since the license information is read-only to users.
You may detail your scenario with more information, so that we can possibly provide some other suggestions.

Office 2013 OEM and Office Home & Business 2013 registration

Hi to all,
in our company we brought some Office 2013 OEM licenses and 1 Home and Business 2013. The problem is that i have registered the OEMs with my personal Microsoft account and now i need to register the Home and Business and i want to avoid to register it with
this. Then, my questions are:
1. What is the procedure to register a Microsoft company account.
2. Is there the possibility to move OEM license from my personal account to a the company account ?
Thank you.

Hi,
I noticed that the questions were about licensing rather than Office client issues, please understand we discuss questions and feedbacks about Office client in this forum, we are not familiar with the procedure/migration you mentioned.

How do I activate Office 2013 that I have deployed using ODT and App-V onto a Remote Desktop Server?

I am setting up a demo Server 2012 R2 environment (1 DC server, 2 RDSH servers, 1 App-V server).
I have created an Office 2013 volume license App-V package using the latest Office Deployment Toolkit. I have deployed the App-V package to an RDS server and it all works fine. However, I am unable to activate Office 2013 using the MSDN Office 2013 retail
key because it tells me the product key is invalid for this version of Office. I've looked at the alternative of using the App-V Sequencer to create the Office 2013 package, but from what I've read this is not a Microsoft supported method.
Is there any way that I can activate Office 2013 (volume license on RDS) using the method I've outlined above, or is there any way of using the Office2013 download from MSDN such that it can be packaged by the ODT (or App-V Sequencer) for successful deployment
using App-V and activation using the retail Office 2013 product key on MSDN?

True, VL channel media can't be activated with MSDN Retail pkeys (that's what I was trying to get you to understand, I figured you would be attempting that, as so many people do :(
I've not attempted your scenario myself.
It sounds like you aren't following the supported scenarios as (poorly) described by MS;
The way I read their guide, for an RDS scenario, you must use a VL key [either MAK or KMS] (since a subscription product+key can't be used on RDS):
i.e.: <Product ID="ProPlusVolume">
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2772509
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2915745
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn481351.aspxhttp://blogs.technet.com/b/office_resource_kit/archive/2013/12/02/announcing-app-v-5-0-sp2-support-for-office-2013-volume-licensing-editions.aspx
So, that all means that for RDS, you can't use anything other than VL "product" (in
the form of an ODT-generated output) with a VL pkey. So, for your RDS demo setup, you need to use real product and real pkeys.

Office 2013 - Evaluation of VL bits?

Hi there,
I have a customer asking if there is a way to install a trial version of Office 2013 [Volume License edition] for testing to see if it is a suitable solution for their environment. I've done some digging and haven't found a way to do this, so I was hoping
someone can either confirm that there isn't a MSFT supported way to download a VL eval, or if there is a workaround that would let them test that in their scenario.
Thanks!

Hi,
We don't provide such a trial version for Volume License edition currently. However, you can still learn some useful information from the links below:
