I hope this is useful to those of you deploying Microsoft Office. Let me know if you have any questions.

Great Video! any ideas on how to disable that first run setup where it gives you the option to sign in?

Excellent Video
We use the App Store to deploy the Packages
Any clue on how can i get Outlook export option to not work. Don't want the users to export the official E-mails.

I got it working using a Configuration Profile using the following details

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict> <key>DisableExport</key> <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

Very helpful. Thanks @pbowden

Will JAMF be adding the full Office 365 Suite installer to "Patch Management"? This would be ideal.

[pbowden]

@stephaniemm77 thanks for the feedback! If you haven't seen it already, take a look at the Jamf Webinar that @talkingmoose and I presented a couple of months ago. In the second half, I go over the preferences that you can use to suppress first run dialogs. Do note, that for Office 365 Subscriptions, the user must always sign-in when launching the first app. Alternatively, if you're using Volume License, the sign-in and activation screen can be completely bypassed (e.g. when using the OfficeAutoSignIn preference).

Hope this helps!

@RedWings The Suite package is simply a convenient and bandwidth friendly way of getting the individual Office apps deployed to each Mac. However, at rest, all of the Office apps are independent from each other from a bundle perspective, so I would expect Jamf to continue reporting on the patch level of each app.

Hope this helps!

@pbowden thank you, i was using your script but as a new jamf user i didnt realize my login hooks were not enabled...took me awhile to figure that part out...I have to fool around with those settings to see if I can get it working right

[pbowden]

@stephaniemm77 any reason why you’re not using Configuration Profiles for this? It’s much easier setting this computer-wise than messing with logging scripts/books.

Paul, new JAMF user who's trying to add the package. We recently upgraded from 10.0 to 10.18 and I tried to follow the steps in the video you posted (thanks for that) but running into issues where all I can do is upload using the Manifest File option. Is there something I'm not doing?
