Subscribed. Great video, great content and easy to follow. Looking forward to more! Thanks!

@the Sysadmin Channel, great video guide! Would you be able to do a video for app deployment with PSADT, ServiceUI and Intune?

Subscribed. Saw your link first on reddit. Great writeup. So I've gotten my office deployments up 2016 to be basically harmless. However I simply edit office install with the customization tool. Then I deploy using the standard MSI to the system and auto activates with kms server. Is there much of a difference and or benefit from doing it via script like your video? Trying to expand my knowledge

Pablo Mojica great question Pablo. The problem is that Office 2019 ONLY runs via the click to run version. The OCT and MSI version you’re used to using in the past is no longer supported for 2019. I too liked using the OCT and but Microsoft did away with that for 2019. Hopefully that answers your question and thanks for the sub.

Thanks new to SCCM great Info

[@christianafrica]

hello! do you have another video like this but for Office 365 pro plus? i am getting confused on the INSTALLATION part. Inside the FILES folder of my PSADT is my office installer that contains ("Office" folder, configuration.xml, and setup.exe). what is the exact line of script i need to use for the Installation part please? i can install this manually via cmd with this command setup.exe /configure configuration.xml.

Great work but u don’t have essay way because I am new in sscm I feel can’t do this steps ☹️

[@67Greydog]

Do you have a version of this for the click to run executable? I'm getting through it and it seems that this is specific to MSI but we need the click to run.

Great video. Thank you!

wow that ccmcache search is a beautiful line of code. I had to watch three times becuase I knew I missed something good... once it clicked... nice work there. The whole video is clean... keep doing this! Question: I'm super new to sccm but have lots of deployment experience. When you set deferments to 5 or whatever, what triggers sccm to 'try again later'? How do you schedule when SCCM kicks off the psappdeploy script the first time, then again at some given interval? thanks if you can help! edit.... Of course I asked this 1/4 of the way through the video... I bet you tell me, don't you...... edit2... didn't notice it. I wonder if deferment times are set in psadt? Really nice stuff

[@TheSysadminChannel]

Hi J Fred Beck - Yeah I had to figure out a way to allow it to run locally from their computer so hence the ccmcache code. Also, the interval for the cycle depends on your client settings. By default application deployment settings are configured to 7 days i think so unless you changed it, it would go off of that.

[@80211Denver]

@@TheSysadminChannel Thanks! 7 days is crazy long.. Is this the setting in the sccm console: admin, client settings, default, software deployment, schedule re-eval for depoyment?

Great video but how come I cannot find anywhere on the internet where they walk you thru maintaining or keeping Office 2019 updated via SCCM since Office 2019 updates are not maintained via WSUS. We do not want our environment getting updates automatically thru Office CDN on the internet. We would like to maintain updates via a share (which the task scheduler that installs with Office 2019 for automatic updates does not work even though updates are in the share) or supposedly there is an option to do it thru SCCM adding the OfficeMgmtCOM attribute to the xml file and pointing everything to SCCM to maintain updates. Documentation is very poor by Microsoft for maintaining Office Updates via SCCM for Office 2019. Also, we do not use SCCM to maintain windows updates, we have a separate WSUS server to maintain that.

[@holdfastmackinaw]

Patrick- I am in the same exact spot. We are wanting to deploy Office 2019 to the new machines I'm going to be rolling out but want to control updates like we've always done with WSUS. Did you ever make any progress on this?
