Upgrade Office 2010 Standard to Office 2010 Pro Plus using Config.xml

Hello,
I am upgrading Office 2010 Standard to Office 2010 Pro Plus. But after using the below config pro plus did get installed but both versions of Office 2010 ( Stand and Plus ) show up on the machines. I want only Office Pro plus to appear.
The second issue is that even after uninstalling Office 2010 Standard from the Control panel the Office shows activation of both ( Going to --File ---Help)
How can I edit this config.xml to remove office 2010 Standard first and then upgrade to Office 2010 Pro Plus?
<Configuration Product="ProPlus">
<Display Level="None" CompletionNotice="No" SuppressModal="Yes" AcceptEula="Yes" />


<PIDKEY Value="aaaa-aaa-aaa-aaa" />
<COMPANYNAME Value="XYZ Co." />
<Setting Id="AUTO_ACTIVATE" Value="1" />







</Configuration>

Hi,
Here is not a Config.xml solution, but we can use it as a workaround, basically automate the uninstallation of Office 2010, reboot the computer and then deploy Office 2010. You may find the following article useful if you need more info on that.

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?

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
Raj

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.
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.

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:

Is CS3 Design Standard compatible with Windows 7 64-bits and MS Office 2010 Pro Plus?

Hi,
I have been googling around to see if Adobe CS3 Design Standard is compatible with Windows 7 64-bits with MS Office 2010 Pro Plus, but I couldn't find a decent answer.
If anyone here has any idea on this, please let me know.
As far as i know Adobe CS3 comes with Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro which is not compatible with MS Office 2010, so I am sort of worried that I will need to upgrade my CS3 to CS6.
Any advises are welcome.
Thanks.

I don't know if Acrobat 8 is Win 7 64 bit compatible or if it's supported. The rest of the apps should be fine.
But I do think you'll have issues with Office 2010 files being placed into InDesign.
Moving to CS6 is something you should be thinking about very soon. You only get upgrade pricing until the end of the year, but I highly recommend taking a look at Creative Cloud. At $29.99/month for the first year it's a bargain.
Bob

Compatibility: Project 2013 Pro and Office 2010 Pro Plus

Beyond an obvious recommendation to upgrade Office (which cannot happen in this instance), is the shared code base between Office and Project the same or close enough to avoid performance or functionality issues that would not be experience if Office 2010
Pro Plus and Project 2010 Pro?

Hello,
For Project Server 2013 you will need Project Pro 2013 but the rest of Office can be 2010.

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?

Hi,
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.

what does the client side need. Do they need a kms key? how do I check
on the KMSclient, and/or on the KMShost, to check, you can use:
cscript slmgr.vbs /dli all > c:\kmsout.txt
(this will output all possible Windows and Office licenses to the output file, and shows the status of each)
When you install Windows or Office by using VL media, by default these are pre-configured with KMSclient product key.
In case the machine may have been reconfigured with a different product key, and you find that you need to reconfigure back to a KMSclient product key, the Office KMSclient product keys are here:

Missing mail when trying to access Outlook 2007 archives with Outlook 2010 Pro Plus

I recently upgraded a user's laptop and it is currently running Office 2010 Pro Plus. On their desktop they were running Office 2007 Pro and they recently archived messages in Outlook on the desktop but they don't show up on the user's laptop
accessing that same archive file. I've tried shutting down Outlook on the desktop, ran the inbox repair tool and I even tried upgrading the desktop to Office 2010 as well with no luck. This PST files are located on my server and they are backed
up regularly.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
You should not use Network Stored PST files, .pst files are used to let users maintain a copy of their messages on their local computers. Please refer to these articles for more information:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297019
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2007/01/21/network-stored-pst-files-don-t-do-it.aspx
Instead of using a Network Stored PST file, you can configure Microsoft Outlook in Cached Exchange Mode. This caches the Exchange Server mailbox data in a local Offline Folders (.ost) file. This configuration lets the remote client work successfully even
without being connected to the server.

Lync 2013 client - part of Office 2013 Pro Plus - unable to edit or remove picture, option is grayed out.

Hi Team,
Lync 2013 client - part of Office 2013 Pro Plus - unable to edit or remove picture, option is grayed out.
Using Exchange 2010 Server and Lync 2010 Server at the back. To the best of my knowledge, this option is only available when using Exchange 2013 rather than Ex 2010.
Can somebody confirm this as I am not 100% sure about it.
Appreciate your help. Thanks

Hi,
The photo precedence in Lync 2013 is high-resolution photo from Exchange 2013 -> Photo from web address -> Active Directory photo. The "Edit or Remove Picture" button is available if you integrate Lync Server 2013 with Exchange 2013.
Since you are Lync server 2010 and Exchange 2010, you can choose the following two options:
The thumbnailPhoto attribute on the user's object in Active Directory Domain Services
A URL configured by the user

Hi
I have downloaded the Trial of Office 365 Pro Plus and have also downloaded the Power Query Add in which I have also installed. However I can’t install the Power Map add in as it says that I don’t have the correct version of excel, but this is because

How can I get the Power Map Add In installed on the excel in the office 365 pro plus?
Thanks

Outlook 2010 Pro Plus not showing Retention/Archive Policies only on Terminal Server

I have Office 2010 Pro Plus (Terminal Server License) installed on Remote Desktop Services 2008 R2 and running Outlook 2010 against Exchange 2010 SP1 with Enterprise CALS for all users. If I run Outlook locally on a PC (not TS Client)
I have apply folder retention policies and archival policies no problem but if I open Outlook on Terminal Server I cannot. Everything is greyed out. This is the exact same version of Outlook, just different keys but I can't apply any policies for
the Terminal Server users.
So, to clarify, on a regular PC, I can click an Outlook folder, click on the "Policies" button on the ribbon and have retention policies as well as Online Archive settings as I should but when I use the same version on Terminal Server
the Policies button is greyed out completely and cannot set. I am NOT using auto-archive settings and not using PST files, only Online Archive.
Thank you

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.
