Question

Hey Technet,
I've got a script set up to deploy some .OfficeUI files to set some special stuff in the Quick Access Toolbar. The script deploys the files to %localappdata%\Microsoft\Office, as suggested in this article:
We're using Office 2016 Click2Run (v 1808). The .OfficeUI customization files deploy to the folder properly and are visible as the user, but no actual customization happens to the QAT. The toolbar itself just shows all the default options. Has anyone else run in to this, or successfully deployed QAT customizations on 2016? All the links I see are for older versions of Office.
Thanks!

Hi,
Please import the new customization files and replace the original manually to check if they could work properly.
As far as I know, the method in the article applies to Office 2016 as well. To deploy the customized Quick Access Toolbar via Group Policy, you will need the *.officeUI, not the *.exportedUI file. The *.exportedUI file can only be imported by using the "Import customization file" under:
File > Options > Customize Ribbon or Quick Access Toolbar > Import/Export
After customizing the Quick Access Toolbar in Excel/Word/PowerPoint/Outlook... until it looks like what you’d like to deploy to all machines, navigate to "%localappdata%\Microsoft\Office" or "C:\Users\username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office" on that workstation and copy "following files " to a shared location on a server.
Then deploy it to all machines by using the script mentioned in the "Using Scripts to Place the UI Customization Files" section in the mentioned article. This script is supposed to be deployed via a User Logon script, not a machine Startup script via Group policy.
If you have any update, please feel free to let us know.
Best Regards,

Ive been asked to add/modify the quick access toolbar. Before deploying any customization I wanted to see if there is a way to update instead of replace. Im pretty sure some of our users have customized their QAT and I dont want to step on their custom settings.
