Deploying Office 2016 using SCM 2012 R2 SP1 - multi-user PCs
We are using O365 with clients currently running Office 2013 and are looking at upgrading our clients to Office 2016. I can find quite a bit of information on how to push this out using SCCM, which we are currently on SCCM 2012 R2 SP1.
However, we have many workstations that have multiple users that log in and work on them depending on the day and shift. When we deployed 2013 there was a multi-user install as well as a registry change you had to make after you launched the app for the initial time for each user but before activating the app for that particular user.
Does anyone know how I can install Office 2016 on these same computers? Is Office 2016 done differently, and if so, how? If not, how can I accomplish this in SCCM 2012 R2 SP1?
