Deploy Office 2019 in a corporate environment (for IT professionals)
- Tutorial
Use the Office Deployment Tool (ODT) to set up and deploy corporate versions of Office 2019 in your organization, including Project and Visio (and other programs).
Installation files for Office 2019 are available directly from the CDN Office network, i.e. Windows packages (MSI) is no longer used.
In fact, this means that on one computer you will have one installation of 2019 Office, and it will be impossible to install any other Office package.
For example : you purchased Office 2019 Standard, you installed it on a user's computer and you plan to install Skype for Business Basic using an MSI installer - this will not work. And, even if you download a Skype for Business Click to Run package from office 365, it will not install either. Sorry, I repeat: there can be only one installation of Office 2019 on a computer, regardless of how an additional Office product is distributed.
Download Office Deployment Tools from the Microsoft Download Center . After receiving a copy of ODT, you need to create a configuration.xml configuration file.
You can create several configuration.xml files that will be used with ODT.
What it is for: you can install Office 2019 directly from the Office CDN network, or you can download installation files from the CDN Office network to a folder on the local network, for example, to a shared folder and install Office 2019 from this location. You can use different methods for different sets of computers in your organization.
I recommend using the Office Customization Tool to create a configuration file.. Using this site, you can generate a response file for Office 365 / Office 2019 with basic settings such as:
And supplement it with product identifiers supported by the Office Deployment Tool. Here are the main ones:
Skype for Busies
Other products
The official link to the supported products (which I have been looking for for a long time).
After obtaining the ODT and creating the configuration.xml configuration file, you can install Office 2019.
Open an elevated command prompt, navigate to the folder where you saved the ODT and the configuration.xml file, and enter the following command to download the installation package to a network folder:
then enter the command:
to install Office from a network folder or directly from the CDN Office network. Wait for the Office installation to complete.
From experience, I would say that it is better to test the installation of a package from the CDN Office network, and then create a local package.
Just in case, I provide a complete list of ODT commands: Deployment Guide for Microsoft Office 2019. Please note that the Office Customization Tool site already contains codes for Project / Visio 2016, but they are not on the Product IDs site that are supported by the Office Deployment Tool. Microsoft is Microsoft. Hope this article will save your time.
