Office 365 - 1st user sign-in experience

[jameson]

Just started a new IT manager, that was not very impressed that opening office applications after install, requires all kind of user interaction.

So wondering, is there any way to skip steps like Activation that where user must sign in first time opening - and also user has afterwards to manual add outlook account. My hope was that when opening outlook it would just right away open outlook with the user mailbox added

Don´t know if there exist somekind of SSO extension - activation "hack" to skip these step

 you need to have a look at some of the guides that the most excellent Bill Smith (aka Talkingmoose) made below via MDM and jamf replacement variables

You can always use a configuration profile to customize the "first open" experience of Microsoft Office apps. Check macadmins.software and the com.microsoft.office domain keys.
