Setting the shared templates location by Deploying Office 365 Midsized Business "using a network share" from a on-premise location
I found the question "Deploy Office 365 pro plus using a network share or from a on-premise locaiton" the most useful of the resources
on MS yet - but I am having difficulties getting the files to download for a local deployment.
The root of the issue, that I cannot find anywhere, is how do I set the shared templates location for users in the organization. First I thought a GPO, but I cannot find that setting in the GPO in MS.
Then I thought modifying the REG- but it is in a binary key which could include other information I may not want modified(Or does it matter?)
Then I looked for ways to download the deployment but launching from an elevated prompt as IT (Domain level) returns a useless error to paraphrase- 'sorry MSOffice didn't install- do you have enough disk space'.
I have downloaded the GPO objects, but not installed them, likely I will need those later though.
Just want to path all the users to a central repository of office/excel/access/outlook templates in addition to their local templates. Concise help in steps or sites that have solved the issue are Greatly appreciated : )
Hi,
you can use the GPO ADMX templates to configure the "Workgroup templates path".
This actually configures a registry setting named: "sharedtemplates".
The registry value/type/data is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\15.0\common\general
Name: sharedtemplates
Type: REG_EXPAND_SZ (Expandable String Value)
Data: <UNC path to folder>
From the GPO reference workbook/sheet, for Office:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/4976.selected-content-relating-to-group-policy-administrative-templates-adm-and-admx.aspx
Filename: office15.admx
Scope: User
Path: Microsoft Office 2013\Shared paths
Policy Setting Name: Workgroup templates path
Supported on: At least Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7
Category: Shared paths
Explain Text: Specifies the location of workgroup templates.
Registry Key: HKCU\software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\common\general!sharedtemplates
Note: it is supported to populate this setting, with a UNC path, but not with a web path.
e.g.: \\server01\shared\templates <this is valid>
e.g.: http://server01/shared/templates <this is not valid>
This constraint (for web URIs) can be difficult to work around. If you are using SharePoint, and think WebDAV might work, it doesn't seem to work for us :(
Of course, if you have SharePoint, there are much better ways to handle document templates, but, our users are familiar with this File -> New -> from template type of method...
It can also be set manually by a user:

Office 365 Midsize Business email archive
Hello. We are using Office 365 Midsize Business in our company. We have around 80 users that are using or Outlook online
or Outlook 2013.
What would be the easiest way to set up automatic archiving for all accounts, and then copy those archive files to local server, just as a backup?I recommend that you post this in the Office 365 Exchange Online Forum:

Office 365 Midsize Business and Project 2013 Standard (Retail)
Hi,
Can someone explain to me how to install Project Standard 2013 (retail version) alongside Office 365 Midsize Business.
I either get installation errors - "Something went wrong......" or activation errors whereby the activation code seems to be accepted (green tick) but I am then asked to link it to an email account which won't work as it is a retail version.Hi,

Deploying Office 365 Pro Plus using System Center Configuration Manager 2012 SP1
Hello,
I am trying to deploy Office 365 Pro Plus to my client machines (more than 100) via. System Center Configuration Manager 2012 SP1. It will use one administrator account for installation. But as per the licensing, we can install Office for up to 5 PCs/Macs
and 5 more Windows tablets/iPads with one Office 365 Pro Plus licenses. If this is the case, then I cannot install Office 365 Pro Plus with one admin account to my 100+ machines, as it will violate the licenses of O365 Pro Plus.
So, what is the alternative approach?
Thanks
RajIf this is the case, then I cannot install Office 365 Pro Plus with one admin account to my 100+ machines, as it will violate the licenses of O365 Pro Plus.
Hi,
this is incorrect.
There is no licensing restriction/control for the *installation* account at all, the licensing is related to who is *using* Office365ProPlus *after* installation is performed. This control, is implemented by the Microsoft Account, or OrgID, used to sign-in/activate
to Office365 when *using* Office365ProPlus.

1. Outlook 2013 lets replies to emails from another folder than inbox wind up in that same folder.
Options - email - save - a checkbox
2. A registry setting lets email sent from shared exchange mailboxes wind up in the "sent objects" folder of that mailbox.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/57f9f9dc-cc00-4910-a09e-1ea201dbf05c/action?threadDisplayName=office-365-outlook-2010-quotdefault-email-reply-or-fromquot-address
I need feature 1. to show up in the shared mailbox as well as the default mailbox. All my problems would be solved if I could have this behaviour in the inbox folder of the shared mailbox as well.
UniSent helped us with this on SBS2003 and Outlook 2003- 2007 but does the same trick as the registry setting in Office 2013.
cheersHi,
There is no build-in setting in Outlook to achieve this, you may try a code solution here:

Since we are not the best source for coding, if you need any assistance on the code sample, you can post a question in Outlook for Developers forum:

Deploy Office 365 Pro Plus using MDT 2013
Hello,
I'm currently evaluating O365 E3 and am specifically looking into what my options are for deploying Office 2013 Pro Plus when rolling out a new PC image. Currently I use MDT 2013 to deploy the image to new PCs and install Office 2010 along with other
applications. Can I use C2R with a config file pointing to a local repository of the installation files with MDT 2013?Hi

Found error while Deploying office 365 through SCCM.
Hello Experts,
We are currently working to deploy office 365 through SCCM but on client system it failed to installed.
found error in AppEnforce.log file.
Please help to resolved the error.ConfigMgr is doing it's job and trying to install the application. However the installation times out after an hour.
See:
Waiting for process 5820 to finish.
That would suggest to me that there is something wrong with your installation parameters. The installation is probably not fully silent and is awaiting user input (that you cannot see).
Narcoticoo's advice is good. Try to install the app silently manually. Until you can do this successfully ConfigMgr will not be able to deploy it.

Deploying Office 365 Pro Plus on Systems with Existing Office 2010 / 2013 Installations
We're preparing to deploy Office 365 Pro Plus with our existing SCCM 2012 infrastructure. Many of our clients currently have Office 2010 or Office 2013 installed on them. What is the default setup behavior for installing Office 365 Pro Plus on these systems?
Will any versions of Office be removed first?
Orange County District AttorneyHi,
As a supplement to what you have got, Click-To-Run is a Microsoft virtualization technology which provides an isolated environment for Office to run on your computer. It allows you to run the latest version of Office side-by-side with an earlier version
of Office that is already installed on your computer.

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 ?

Uninstall Office 2010/2013 to deploy Office 365 ProPlus
following clarification is needed:-
some of the pc is installed with Office 64 Bit edition, we are trying to remove the existing office (desktop) before deploying office 365 ProPlus. SCCM 2012 R2 is going to be used to uninstall office. my question is that can I remove/uninstall 64 bit Office
using 32 Bit setup.exe or it has to be 64 bit for 64 bit office and 32 bit setup.exe for 32 bit office.
also if I am looking for assistance to create query that can result in 64 bit and 32 bit office using SCCM. please paste the query in the response if possible.
Thanks
Farrukh
Farrukh AnwarI would recommend that deploy a script that first removes the old version of Office and then Deploy the new version.
My favorite script tool to use with SCCM is the PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit, and that would be great in this example too.

I'm trying to download office 365 small business package, and every time I try the website it says there is a runtime service error in the '/' application. Is this my mac or is it the website, and how can I fix it?
If a phone is sold from one friend to another and wants to use it on a different carrier the friend can contact the carrier it was sold by to request it unlocked. I know AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint will give you the steps to unlock it as long as the original contract it was bought under has been completed. eBay/Craigslist is really not the best place to try to get "unlocked phones" from, if it turns out the phone isn't unlocked then I'm really sorry you got stuck with that one and as stevejobsfan said above I would report them immediately and see if you can recover your money. I sell phones for a living and this happens a lot
