Hello,
We have AD bound Macs and are using Office 365 (So the email address is first.last@university.edu and NOT UniversityID@universitu.edu)

I've been trying to use :

https://github.com/talkingmoose/Outlook-Exchange-Setup-5 by @talkingmoose But it doesn't seem to do anything except bypass the initial Outlook start up. Has anyone had any experience with the script?

I usually image the machine with a stock 10.13.3 then I join it to Jamf using quick add.pkg which then installs our volume licensed Office 2016 package then I compiled a .PKG as per the wiki.

Was my mistake installing office first or could it be somewhere else?

@al786, thanks for using the updated script. It helps me see how far the script is progressing.

Your log from March 8 showed this alert: Folder "/Users/law/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office" does not exist. Your new log shows a different user and that the script is getting further.

Looks like everything up to gathering user information is working. I'll need to dive lower down in the setup and see if I can spot a place to add more logging. This may take a few days to get something else ready.

Hmm... That's not making sense. The installer is Apple's technology. What's the specific method you're using to create the package?

If you're using the command line method, be sure you're running the full commands. GitHub's code display truncates the lines:

packageName="Outlook Exchange Setup 5"
packageIdentifier="net.talkingmoose.OutlookExchangeSetup5"
packageVersion="1.0.0"

folderPath=$( dirname '/path/to/ROOT' ) # fill this path by dragging and dropping the ROOT folder from this project's folder here
find "$folderPath" -name .DS_Store -delete

pkgbuild --identifier "$packageIdentifier" --version "$packageVersion" --scripts "$folderPath/Scripts" --root "$folderPath/ROOT" "$folderPath/$packageName.pkg"
