Has anyone installed Office 2016 and Automated the Outlook credentials

[casareanderson]

we are looking to push out Office 2016 , and wanted to know how people have set up uninstalling all previous versions as well getting outlook to auto configure so the users transition is smooth from one version to anther

I usually deploy Office with the VL Package direct from Microsoft, then have a package that installs the auto-configure scripts after.

This thread will help you out a ton.

for uninstalling office, I used Microsoft's kbase as a guideline for a script:

For the auto configure of Outlook 2016, we've used the same setup script that many folks have adopted:

+1 for the Outlook Exchange setup. For a very detailed guide for all the possible options for deploying and configuring Office 2016, check out this blog post: https://clburlison.com/demystify-office2016/. It covers everything you could possibly want to know.

A number of Microsoft engineers have been working closely with many Mac Admins on Slack, so a lot of the improvements and changes have been a result of their feedback on that front.

I created the following script based of this page to uninstall Office 2011. Automating the Outlook setup I have not done yet but am keen to give it a go!

#!/bin/sh

    osascript -e 'tell application "Microsoft Database Daemon" to quit'
    osascript -e 'tell application "Microsoft AU Daemon" to quit'
    osascript -e 'tell application "Office365Service" to quit'

Hi we are using 365 after reading the guide it state that you do not need the script to set up outlook as it has auto discovery has anyone deployed office via 365 and set up the auto configuration
