In order to create a deployment package for Office 365 offline installation here’s what you have to do:
Download the Office
deployment tool from the below microsoft link
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36778
For this demo i thought of installing only the word and exclude the remaining
apps. Below is the configuration file which i am using and in your case
it might be different.
Config.xml
<Configuration>
<Add SourcePath="C:\Office365" OfficeClientEdition="64" Channel="Monthly">
<Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
<Language ID="en-us" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Publisher" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Access" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Excel" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Lync" />
<ExcludeApp ID="OneDrive" />
<ExcludeApp ID="OneNote" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Outlook" />
<ExcludeApp ID="PowerPoint" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Teams" />
</Product>
</Add>
<Updates Enabled="TRUE" Channel="Monthly" />
<Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
<Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" />
</Configuration>
Below is my ansible code which looks like. I have the setup.exe and
config.xml files available in C drive Office365 folder.
---
- hosts: all
tasks:
- name: Download Office 365 setup
win_command: setup.exe /download config.xml
args:
chdir: C:\Office365\
- name: Install Office 365 setup
win_command: setup.exe /configure config.xml
args:
chdir: C:\Office365\
Let's run the play for downloading and installing Office
I can see the word got successfully installed in my windows server without any issues.
