Deploy Office 365 MSI with Microsoft Intune

I have wrapped a EXE file (OfficeProPlus click 2 run) in a MSI wrapper. I have used a Certificate and signed the MSI and now I am going to use Microsoft Intune to push out the installation on PC’s.

Go to manage.microsoft.com and click Apps->Select Apps->Click Add an App

Launch the software wizard and log on.

Select the software you want to distribute

admin — These users in this group will get this software

forced install — It will be forced to the device

These are the users in that group which will get this software

You can use Microsoft Intune agent to distribute and deploy quietly Office 2016 ProPlus bits to any Windows PC you manage with the agent.

Here is what you do:

Download the Office Deployment Toolkit https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49117
Install it and you get two files. Setup.exe and Configuration.xml

Configure the configure.xml with something like this:

<Configuration>
  <Add OfficeClientEdition="32" Branch="Current">
    <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
      <Language ID="en-us" />
    </Product>
  </Add>
<Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="True" />
</Configuration>

Upload the exe file and select to include other files in the folder.
Add the command line argument to /configure configuration.xml
Deploy the software to the target groups.
Make sure that your computer is in that target group
Wait for Office to Install

Magic will happen on the client device. It must be logged in as an Administrator for this to work.

Deploy custom script with Microsoft Intune

Once you have:

you should be ready to deploly that script to computers running the Microsoft Intune Management Agent. The Intune MDM channel does not support EXE, only MSI.
