I’m currently working on a series of articles that will guide you through the installation, configuration and operation of System Center 2012 Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr/SCCM 2012).

      Absolutely… It’s 100% the same method. The same goes for Project, Visio etc.

    Hi Ronni

    Great guide but I’m trying to install Office 2013 to a device collection when the user is logged off but the deployment status just shows as unknown and does not go any further. The deployment only works to a user collection and thus they need to be logged on.

    Have you had any success deploying to devices?

    Cheers
    David

      Hi David,
      Yes. I’ve deployed office to devices many times… Works like a charm :)
      Are you deploying the application as available or mandatory? If you need the application to be deployed automatically, you need to select mandatory.
      Otherwise the application will just show up in the Software Center (not the Application Catalog), as an available application.

    Hey Ronni

    Yep I’ve set it to mandatory and that works fine if it’s deployed to a user collection but when I deploy the same package to a device collection it just kind of hangs with an unknown status. It’s almost as if its waiting on a prompt or something even though it’s completely silent. Maybe office is not designed for a machine based install only a user install?

    Hey Ronni,

    When I deploy everything appears to install fine, however it ignores my set feature installation states settings, I just don’t want all the applications being installed. I’ve set those apps to Not Available and Hidden, but they still install normally.

      Hi dwood,
      Not sure what’s wrong in this case. The only thing I can think of is if you change a setting, and then forgot to update the distribution point.

        I wish that was the case, but I definitely updated content :(
