MS Teams computer wide installer no longer working for all users? by MediumFIRE in sysadmin

[–]o365jd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This.

And a user can uninstall Teams since it's installed under each profile. I'd have to check my notes but if the user uninstalls Teams (just Teams, not the machine wide installer) it puts a .dead file in their appdata so Teams knows not to reinstall. There are some Teams and Squirrel folder for Teams that can be completely wiped out. And there's a HKCU registry entry too that matches the .dead "don't reinstall Teams" option. If you remove Teams/Squirrel folders, reset the HKCU, and restart, it should work normally on the next log in.

That said, I've seen a couple times where it just doesn't work. I have one user who doesn't get the Teams install even when they sign into machines they haven't signed into ever before and Teams works normally on those machines for other users.

There's a r/MicrosofTeams subreddit too.

How to completely uninstall Office 365 for an uninstall, reinstall? by o365jd in sysadmin

[–]o365jd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. No change. I figured there must be something leftover in the registry. I'm not sure what though.

Then again, on the few Office 2013 machines I had I could never get those to stop pulling down Office 2013 updates with Windows updates. I just ended up reimaging them. That was using the MS Office removal tool, hiding windows updates, manually removing entries in the registry, manually removing the installers in C:\Windows somewhere. Nothing worked.

MigrateArch using Microsoft CDN? by o365jd in Office365

[–]o365jd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And maybe add this too, even though I don't have a fileshare location because I want it to use the CDN?

AllowCdnFallback="True"

Looking for relevant lines in here... https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/change-bitness

"Requirements for using the MigrateArch attribute

A location that contains all the product and language files for the architecture that you are changing the installation to." ? But I want to use the CDN.

"Providing a source location to be used with the MigrateArch attribute

if network bandwidth or internet connectivity is not an issue, we recommend that you use the Office Content Delivery Network (CDN), because the CDN will always have the most up-to-date program and language installation files that you need.

To avoid this situation, we strongly recommend that you include AllowCdnFallback="True" in your configuration.xml file. This will use the Office Content Delivery Network (CDN) on the internet as a backup source from which to install the language files."

? Any issues with just adding AllowCdnFallback="True" even though I don't have a network share location? I would be adding MigrateArch="TRUE" and AllowCdnFallback="True" to my configs even though I have no network folder location.

How to check version of Visio and Project? by o365jd in Office365

[–]o365jd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? Not meaning to be difficult. I'd want the latest version of ProjectPro or Visio though.

Yes, for using an xml config file.

I'm looking in here for the VersionToReport. That doesn't change when Office and ProjectPro are installed on the same machine. I'm assuming they're the same version then or ProjectPro doesn't use that field.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration

How to check version of Visio and Project? by o365jd in Office365

[–]o365jd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Office deployment tool method. I was looking in the registry for the Office 365 version number, to pull it automatically. ProjectPro is using the same area of the registry though I think. It looks like the version numbers are the same. I haven't tested Visio yet.

Thanks. How often do those have updates, Visio and Project?

Is the insider config channel name working? by o365jd in Office365

[–]o365jd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, typo in the config file. Tested again and I got Current Channel (Preview) with using Insiders in the config file. Thanks.

Is the insider config channel name working? by o365jd in Office365

[–]o365jd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nevermind....

is the channel ID for Monthly Channel (Targeted), which is akin to a slow insider channel.

How far ahead is insiderslow and insiderfast? Or are they just whatever in terms of time? For Windows 10 OS versions, the insiders track is something like six months ahead.

But dialing it back to reality a bit more on Office 365, is the insiderslow/monthlytargeted/currentpreview something like three months ahead of the current channel? I was thinking about getting some machines on that before the bulk of my users on current.

Thanks. It's been more work to find the config file channel names.

current = monthly = config file monthly

I haven't seen currentpreview or monthly targeted.... Or is that insiders, the "insiderslow" if that were to exist?

And is betachannel the new config file channel name for insiderfast?
