Has anyone figured out a script to bypass these screens after deploying office 2019 for Mac. I had an old script that worked with office 2016 but it doesn't seem to work anymore.

!/bin/bash

if [[ -e "/Applications/Microsoft Excel.app" ]]; then /usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.Excel kSubUIAppCompletedFirstRunSetup1507 -bool true
elif [[ -e "/Applications/Microsoft OneNote.app" ]]; then /usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.onenote.mac kSubUIAppCompletedFirstRunSetup1507 -bool true
elif [[ -e "/Applications/Microsoft Outlook.app" ]]; then /usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.Outlook kSubUIAppCompletedFirstRunSetup1507 -bool true /usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.Outlook FirstRunExperienceCompletedO15 -bool true
elif [[ -e "/Applications/Microsoft PowerPoint.app" ]]; then /usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.PowerPoint kSubUIAppCompletedFirstRunSetup1507 -bool true

Hey @stephaniemm77 did you ever get your issue resolved with the automatic sign in?

I'm actually trying to get rid of the Sign In for Office 2019 completely. Paul's videos/scripts show many ways to manipulate it, but no way to completely get rid of it. Anyone?

I do not get those with the Serializer installed - but that requires you to have a Volume Licence Key !
