Toconfigure and perform deployments of Office LTSC 2021, including Project and Visio, for users in your organization, you use the Office Deployment Tool (ODT). The Office Customization Tool (OCT) that you previously used for Windows Installer (MSI) is no longer used.

The installation files for Office LTSC 2021 are available on the Office Content Delivery Network (CDN) on the internet instead of on the Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC). You can install Office LTSC 2021 directly from the Office CDN. Or, you can download the installation files from the Office CDN to a location on your local network, such as a shared folder, and install Office LTSC 2021 from that location. You can use different methods for different sets of devices in your organization. Whichever method you choose, you use the ODT.


Installing directly from the Office CDN requires the least amount of administrative effort and is recommended. But you might have constraints that prevent you from installing directly from the internet. For example, some devices might not have connectivity to the internet or you might have limited bandwidth to the internet.


After you download the Office Deployment Tool, double-click on the officedeploymenttool executable (.exe) file to extract the ODT files. When you're finished, you should have several files: setup.exe and some sample configuration.xml files. For an Office LTSC 2021-specific sample, see Sample configuration.xml file to use with the Office Deployment Tool.


The setup.exe file is the ODT and is a command-line tool that supports downloading and installing Office LTSC 2021. The configuration.xml files are sample files to get you started. You use the configuration.xml file to provide settings for the ODT to use when downloading or installing Office LTSC 2021. The configuration.xml is a simple xml file that can be created and edited in any text editor, such as Notepad. You can name the file anything that you want, as long as it retains the xml file extension.


Once you have a copy of the ODT, you need to create a configuration.xml file. You can create multiple configuration.xml files to be used with the ODT. For example, you can create a configuration.xml file to download and install the 64-bit version of Office LTSC Professional Plus 2021 in English. Then, you can create a different configuration.xml file to install the 32-bit version of Visio LTSC Professional 2021 in French. When you run the ODT from an elevated command prompt, you specify which configuration.xml file to use.


There are a series of settings in the configuration.xml file that you configure to customize the Office LTSC 2021 download or installation. The following table lists the most common settings to configure in the configuration.xml file.


We recommend that you uninstall any previous versions of Office before installing Office LTSC 2021. To help you uninstall versions of Office that use Windows Installer (MSI) as the installation technology, you can use the ODT and specify the RemoveMSI element in your configuration.xml file.


For more information about using RemoveMSI, see Remove existing MSI versions of Office when upgrading to Microsoft 365 Apps. Even though that article is about Microsoft 365 Apps, most of the information also applies to Office LTSC 2021.


To uninstall 2019 versions of Office, Visio, or Project from the device, use the Remove element. You use the Remove element because 2019 versions of Office, Visio, and Project are installed by using Click-to-Run, not Windows Installer (MSI).


Once you have a copy of the ODT and have created your configuration.xml file, you can download the Office LTSC 2021 installation files to your local network. To do that, open an elevated command prompt, go to the folder where you saved the ODT and the configuration.xml file, and type this command:


Once you have a copy of the ODT and have created your configuration.xml file (and downloaded the Office LTSC 2021 installation files to your local network, if necessary), you can install Office LTSC 2021. To do that, open an elevated command prompt, go to the folder where you saved the ODT and the configuration.xml file, and type the following command:


You can also use Microsoft Configuration Manager (current branch) to deploy Office LTSC 2021. The Office 365 Client Installation wizard steps you through the process and builds the configuration.xml file for you. There's an entry for Office LTSC Professional Plus 2021 in the wizard. On that same page, you can also select to deploy Project and Visio. To get to the wizard, in the Configuration Manager console, navigate to Software Library > Overview > Office 365 Client Management.


Office LTSC 2021 no longer includes the Teams client app. However, if the Teams client app was previously installed with Office LTSC 2021, it will continue to be automatically updated approximately every two weeks with new features and quality updates. The update process for Teams is different from the update process for other Office apps, such as Word and Excel. For more information, see Teams update process.


Just discovered the persistence of deploys and was a little surprised. Like others, it makes me a little concerned about lack of control over removing access to previews/branch deploys for a few use cases:


I understand the lack of delete is due to the deduplicated storage mechanism employed by Netlify. However, would it be possible to support removing access to a deploy via the shared URL (even if the underlying assets remain)?


there are other options as well, such as deploying from a command line tool, but for your use case, i think deploying from a git repo is the best way to go. You can use github, bitbucket, gitlab or azure devops to store your repos.


Sure. Just define an execution of the maven-deploy-plugin:deploy-file goal bound to the deploy phase, configured with your values. When deploying your project, this execution will be invoked and the JAR will be deployed.


The Working with Maven section in the Artifactory manual covers this topic in detail, specifically the part about deploying artifacts.

In addition you can watch the screencast about setting Artifactory as a Maven repository.


To deploy build artifacts through Artifactory you must add a distributionManagement element to your project pom file with the URL of a target local repository to which you want to deploy your artifacts. In addition you will need to configure the Artifactory server credentials in your settings.xml file.

Artifactory can help with generating both the distributionManagement snippet and the settings.xml (see more info in the links I provided above).


You can upload custom maven settings.xml to TeamCity, where you must specify distributionManagement and server as stated on this documentation page. After this, if you change your maven build step to use uploaded settings, deployment will be done by simply adding deploy gial to set of executed goals in this step.


I personally don't think declaring it in POM is a good approach. For example, if you have a multi-module Maven project consisting of children POMs inheriting from parent POM/super POM and the custom jar to upload is contained in only 1 of the child module, then you will have to explicitly declare the configuration in parent POM (since mvn deploy is normally used to execute the superpom) and declare every other child POM to skip the execution of the configuration, which clutters the POM structure.


I have now added an extra step in my workflow, immediately running flyctl scale count 1 -a **** --yes after the deploy step. It seems to work, but it feels a bit wasteful to first deploy 2 machines and then scale down to one.


Hi there, we are trying to deploy LogMeIn pro via Intune. The deployment from Intune worked, but every time we open the LogMeIn control panel it prompts us to login and then set an access code. Does anyone know a way around this? Potentially a different .MSI file? We would like to deploy to 150+ computers and having to login to each one with our logins would be a pain.


You need to include the 'DEPLOY_ID' parameter when pushing the MSI. This ensures that the user doesn't get prompted to log in. The deploy ID can be found under Deployment -> Select a deployment package and change the drop-down to 'Command and Batch file.


Hi @cn_chetan welcome to the GoTo Community. If you haven't reviewed this article , please give it a try. Also, this article is more specific to Intune, our team confirmed that the steps listed here for GoToResolve will work with Central.


Also is there a way where we can activate the LogMeIn client without admins logging in to it? Every time the agent is installed, we need to open the LogMeIn client with admin and then log in to LogMeIn to activate and show the host in LMI central.


I was careful to only use widgets that I knew were available in 10.9.1, but when I use AGO Assistant to copy the ExB from AGOL to Portal, I am getting an error that the ExB was created in a higher version and I must upgrade to open it.


Problem is, you can't just upgrade the Portal ExB. My thought then was that I could use the Developer Edition to download the ExB built in AGOL, move it to the Enterprise environment, and deploy it there. This is where I'm getting stuck. I have the .zip file from my AGOL ExB. What's the best way to get this deployed as an ExB app in my Portal? Is the only choice to deploy it to a separate web server and maintain it separately from the Enterprise Portal? I was really hoping I could just get it as an ExB app in Portal.


I think the only way to do this would be to upgrade your ArcGIS Portal to the latest 11.1 and then try importing your ExB .zip file.

As you stated, it is possibly easier to install the Developer Edition of Experience Builder and restore your AGOL ExB project .zip file in C:\ArcGISWebAppBuilder\server\apps\2\ (*)



Note that any custom widgets that you may have coded may not transpose easily; it may require reviewing the code. The ExB team has changed some function names in V1.11
