Deploy Office 2016 Click To Run via SCCM

Hi,

Following the last article I wrote, I would like to share with you the steps for deploying Office 2016 Click to Run to your computers using SCCM.

As Microsoft already announced, in February there will be auto-upgraded of Office 2013 click to run to Office 2016, you have to be ready for that.

Make sure you have “Office 2013” ADMX file on your GPO.

If you don’t want this Upgrade you have to block the Upgrade possibility via group policy:

Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Office 2013 (Machine)\Updates

Block Office 2016 upgrade

Ok, so let’s start folks!

  1. Open a new folder on your C and call to the folder “Office 2016” grant full sharing permission to everyoneDeploy Office 2016 Click To Run via SCCM

2. Download the “Office 2016 Deployment Tool” using the following link:

<"Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail”>
