We’ll take advantage of this to build a single installation source for Configuration Manager, thus decreasing the amount of disk space and network bandwidth required to install all three products. Since these two products are considered part of the Office family of applications even though they are packaged and licensed separately, there is some overlap in their installation files and those of Office Professional Plus. My organization has also licensed Microsoft Visio Professional 2016 and Microsoft Project Standard 2016. The latter is delivered via a streaming model. The former is packaged the same way as the previous three versions-as a collection of MSI packages coordinated by an executable installer. Note that this is not the same thing as “ Office 365 ProPlus“, which is a subscription plan. Acquiring the Installation FilesĪs I stated in the overview, my organization has licensed Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016. We’ll assemble all of the needed components, and then next time, we’ll will build our application packages and task sequences in Configuration Manager. We’ve spent several weeks preparing prerequisites, but now it’s time to get down to business. It’s finally time to work on the actual Office installation.
