Hi, please help in creating a package for Office 2016 deployment - targeting 500 computers. This means a Silent Installation with no user intervention.
Thanks.
Hi,
The first step for this is to deploy office silently yourself using a command prompt. This means researching how to do a silent install and preparing any necessary components for a silent installation.
Once you have it working from a command prompt you can upload the package to your BigFix server, write some relevance on when to install, and convert your silent install commands into actionscript.
Do you have the silent install package ready?

Sample script for office , relevance side you need to take care of
You need to archive the package before you upload to app or relay server under uploads/stage folder
download http://appserver or relay:52311/stage/MSOffice/WordExcel2010.bfswd
// Disable wow64 redirection on x64 OSes
action uses wow64 redirection {not x64 of operating system}
delete __appendfile
appendfile if not exist c:\install mkdir c:\install
delete foldercreate.bat
copy __appendfile foldercreate.bat
dos foldercreate.bat
// All SWD files will go into a folder in the clients __BESData folder. This folder gets cleared on every restart.
parameter “baseFolder” = “__Download/”
//delete Excel2010 Folder if alrady exists
folder delete “c:\install\WordExcel2010”
extract “WordExcel2010.bfswd” “c:\install\WordExcel2010”
waithidden cmd.exe /C “start /min c:\install\WordExcel2010\Install.bat”
