Office 2019 installation

Question

_{Tuesday, December 31, 2019 1:43 AM}

We purchased a bunch of office 2019 standard edition volume licenses. I installed the Office Deployment Tool and then download the configuration.xml file. I need to deploy this software to approx. 50 computers using desktop central. I need to understand how do you download all the installation files for office 2019 standard edition so I can save the files on the network then build a batch file and a customization file to activate the software, only install software that is required then push it to all workstations that need it.

Hi,

Could you please more information about Office Standard 2019 edition you want to install? 32-bit edition or 64-bit edition?  Could you provide more information about the activation method you will use? Volume licensed method: KMS or MAK?

Generally, you can configure Office 2019, then download and deploy Office 2019 to clients according to Deploy Office 2019 (for IT Pros). We can use the Office Deployment Tool to download and deploy Office 2019 with configuration.xml and commands, for more information on using ODT, read Overview of the Office Deployment Tool.

For configuration.xml, here is a sample for download installing 64-bit version of Office Standard 2019(VL) from a network shard folder:

<Configuration>
  <Add SourcePath="\\Server\Share" OfficeClientEdition="64" Channel="PerpetualVL2019">
      <Product ID="Standard2019Volume"  PIDKEY="#####-#####-#####-#####-#####" >
         <Language ID="en-us" />
      </Product>
      <Product ID="ProofingTools">
        <Language ID="en-us" />
      </Product>
  </Add>
  <RemoveMSI />
  <Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />  
</Configuration>

For the PIDKEY, replace #####-#####-#####-#####-##### with your MAK client activation key. Using this configuration, ODT will download 64-bit English version of Office Standard 2019 (Volume Licensed) to the network shared folder (\Server\Share, you can modify it according to your scenario) and remove all MSI version of old Office to install Office 2019 in silence. Office 2019 will be activated using your MAK key. If you use KMS, please remove the PIDKEY. Client can be activated by connecting to your KMS host.

If ODT and configuration.xml are installed to a network shared folder (\Server\Share\ODT\, you can open Command Prompt as Administrator and use the following commands:

\Server\Share\ODT\setup /download \Server\Share\ODT\setup\configuration_Office2019.xml

\Server\Share\ODT\setup /configure \Server\Share\ODT\setup\configuration_Office2019.xml

If you have problems writing configuration.xml, you can use the Office Customization Tool to create the configuration files that are used to deploy Office.

If you have any updates or anything unclear, feel free to post back to let us know.

Best Regards,

Herb
