PENDING Deploying and Autoactivating Office 2016 64Bit version from SCCM 2012 R2 SP1

[Rajni Kanyal]

Hi Prajwal,

I have created a package for deploying office 2016 64Bit version with the attached XML file. The version is installing fine but its not auto activating by itself. It asks user to put in the email address when they launch outlook or any other office component for the first time. Also the products are not seen at the same folder instead they are installed as shown below in the screen shot. Could you please help me here.

XML details:


<Configuration>
<Add OfficeClientEdition="64" Channel="Current">
<Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
<Language ID="en-us" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Access" />
<ExcludeApp ID="InfoPath" />
<ExcludeApp ID="OneDrive" />
<ExcludeApp ID="SharePointDesigner" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Visio" />
</Product>
</Add>
<Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
<Property Name="SharedComputerLicensing" Value="1" />
<Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="0" />
<Updates Enabled="True" Channel="Current" />
</Configuration>

How do you handle office activations in your setup ?. Do you have KMS in place ?- https://technet.microsoft.com/en-in/library/dn385356.aspx

He is using the Click to Run installer and deploying it with the Office Deployment Tool.
In that case, user needs to activate Office on first use with their Office 365 Enterprise account.
We do the same in our company.
