January 23, 2022Is it possible to use the Office Customization Tool (OCT) on existing installations?
Seems like an easy thing to test. Load up a workstation like one of the 700 and run your xml file to see what happens. I usually uninstall and re-install if I make any changes though. More on reddit.com

June 22, 2018Why use the Office Deployment Tool?
When you use the deployment tool you can customize the Office package. So it depends on your management style. Some companies want complete control over what users get (like finance) and others employer their users to configure their own computers (think BYOD). You can also tell which package the user gets, current channel versus semi-annual channel, etc. When using semi-annual channel for most users you should put at least 10% of your users on current channel to help prepare your service desk for future questions. Download the tool and deploy a test and you will see all the configuration options. Some have drawbacks. Like, I want to choose for users to only download three months of mail into their Outlook OST. But if you choose something to enforce, users cannot change the setting. So, in short, it comes down to how much you need to control. Whatever you enforce you need to deal with the drawbacks as well as the benefits. More on reddit.com

We've got a specific configuration.xml file we created with OCT, and we know it works with the deployment tool...but we've got over 700 machines with Office currently installed, and we'd like to deploy those changes with the xml file to all of them. Is that possible?

I finally got it to work after trying several variations of the XML file.
First go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49117 and download the Office Deployment Tool
go to the folder where you extracted the Office Deployment Tool - There should be a setup.exe and some xml’s
Since I am installing Office Pro Plus 2019 I deleted the office 365 xml’s
I created the following xml and named it configuration.xml (I changed source path to folder with setup.exe and PIDKEY to my MAK key from volume licensing)
open up cmd as admin and change directories to the folder with the setup.exe
run setup.exe /download configuration.xml it created a folder in the same directory with about 2gigs of data
once done run setup.exe /configure configuration.xml
It ran the installer and finished.
A lot of the example xml’s Microsoft’s page has shows:
I kept getting errors until i removed those lines.

I went to our Volume licensing page excited to download Office 2019. I go to Office Professional Plus 2019 and click download and it turns out to be Office Online Server which I downloaded and installed.
I am really confused about how I get Office installed now. I see Microsoft will no longer offer MSI’s and looking at documentation only confused me more as to how I need to install it.
