Oulook Add-in deployment

If you are using O365, then you can handle this through the Exchange admin console. It is much easier than trying to deploy via a package.
+8unfortunately when talking packaging and application deployments you really have to try the different methods till you find what works for your scenario.. even more so for an un-named add-in. Couple of my common options below
If .pkg you could just upload it and make a smart group for computers with outlook.app (just to ensure that installs before the add-in).
You could use a snapshot in composer to roll the outlook and add-in installation into a single deployment package.
certain installations with references outside of installation package you are copying a whole folder into the client's tmp folder and then using a script to run the installation from there

Thats what I figured we would have to do. I just like to try to keep as much in Jamf as I can. Thanks!
