Microsoft Office 365

In order to deploy Office 365 or Office 2016 you need the ‘Office Deployment Tool’ which is available for download in the ‘Setup Store’:

The setup supports two switches which are important for deployment purposes:
/download
/configure

running ‘setup.exe /download’ requires a [path to configuration file] option as well. If you create a ‘download.xml’ file this could look like this:

Configuration Wizard

The download and configuration xml can be the same file. We’ve created a Configuration Wizard to fill the xml with your required options.

SourcePath

If you don’t provide a value for ‘SourcePath’, the setup files will be downloaded in an ‘Office’ subdirectory in the directory from which ‘setup.exe’ has been launched from.

OfficeClientEdition

This value defined whether you want to download the setup files for a x86 (32) or x64 (64) platform. In the ‘download.xml’-example the 32 bit version of Office 365 is selected.
