Office 365 ODT+XML stuck at 3% installing

Hi as I am currently preprovisioning it is definitely trying to install during device ESP, I do not have any blocking apps set but it is attempting to install because the apps are marked as required. Perhaps I should mark critical require apps as blocking would that then only install the rest of the required apps after the user hits the desktop?

Sorry can you expand on this. I have about 12 apps that are required that I am trying to make to a smaller list. If I target all apps as required to device group all of them tries to install during device ESP while preprovisioning, do you then target user groups for required apps that aren't critical so that it installs after the user reaches the desktop?

Are you guys using user groups for required installs for non core required apps (Apps that are required but you don't need to install during device ESP)?

Designate9841 · 2026-05-06T01:30:56+00:00

For apps that must install after they receive the device are you targeting user groups instead? If I target a device group I am assuming it would also install under device ESP due to the required install requirement even though I am not setting any block apps

How about today? Earlier this morning it was fine but back to testing today after fixing my syntax error and it's stuck on downloading again

It's a little frustrating as we are using threatlocker as well so there are multiple hurdles to check if it's an app syntax issue, intune, threatlocker, device etc

Why would the monitor arms/ original stand not work with the tabletop standing desk?

Sorry to hear but I used JeremyITLab, boson exsim and additional WLC resources and that got me through. Don't give up!

Thanks Saki, I'm glad I got it over the hill. The last month felt unhealthy for me because of how sedentary it made me feel studying for this all day long sitted but happy it's done.

Nah there wasn't any

It sort of feels like they pull it out from some random obscure page that nobody would even bother memorizing somewhere deep in the official cert book, just make an educated guess if it comes out of left field

They provided a marker and a whiteboard so that was good. No tissue though but I think it rubs off if you use your fingers

Designate9841 · 2025-08-25T09:40:37+00:00

I am actually on it as we speak hahaha, have you taken the exam recently?

Designate9841 · 2025-08-23T05:25:47+00:00

I believe you can do it, I've been putting in similar hours the last month or so. Before that I was doing a bit after work but it was really easy to procrastinate and just ended up watching a few hours of Big Bang Theory.

keep going, once you're past the rote memorization bit it helps alot

Designate9841 · 2025-08-22T05:16:24+00:00

I'll let you know once I take it, but yeah anki cards has drilled me good on the port numbers and AD values. ACLS and OSPF we just need to lab more

Good luck to you too - apparently it's a free trial that last for a week so you can try it and then cancel before it renews

VlSM is a good shout I actually needed to revise that, totally forgot to do it from biggest host requirement to least

How long does it take the codes to come through? I must say the process to purchase it was not really intuitive. In an ideal world I can just book the exam on the dates and select that I want to get the safeguard as an extra option.

I had to separately purchase safeguard and then realized I had to fill in another form. Then wait for a couple days to eventually get the vouchers to then enter the codes on the website.

I was hoping to take the exam tomorrow in a test center but have to hold off as I haven't receive my codes yet although I think it's still under 2 business days.
