Quick guide to create an O365 Pro Plus (e.g. Click-To-Run) deployment with ConfigMgr

1. Obtain the source files
   1. Download the Office Deployment Tool for Click-To-Run
   2. Run the wizard (or use a tool such as 7-zip) to extract Setup.exe
   3. setup.exe /download <path of Configuration.xml file>
2. Create a configuration file based upon config your desired configurations (or use the example below)

3. Create a ConfigMgr package with the setup.exe, configuration.xml file(s), and the download Office folder
4. Create a program for the package to run command line setup.exe /configure <path of Configuration.xml file>
   (setup will locate the source files within the Office folder)

Example configuration.xml file for deployment

<Configuration>
  <Add OfficeClientEdition="32" >
    <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
      <Language ID="en-us" />
    </Product>
  </Add>
  <Updates Enabled="TRUE" />
  <Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
  <Logging Name="O365ProPlusRetail.log" Path="%temp%" />
  <Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" />
</Configuration>
