Testing has proved installing locally on the RDS box is fine, unsure on licencing, but we have VAMT so can licence this way i guess..?

Install and configure the Remote Desktop Session Host role service.
Create a configuration.xml file that includes the following lines:
<Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="True" />
<Property Name="SharedComputerLicens
You set the display level to “None” to do a silent installation of Office 365 ProPlus. This prevents Office 365 ProPlus from trying to activate during the installation. This also means that you won’t see any user interface elements during the installation, such as the progress of the installation or error messages.
You use the SharedComputerLicensing setting to enable shared computer activation, which is required to use Office 365 ProPlus on a shared computer.
Use the Office Deployment Tool and the configuration.xml file to install Office 365 ProPlus on the RD Session Host server.
At this point, users can connect to the RD Session Host server and use Office 365 ProPlus. Users can connect to the server by using Remote Desktop Connection, which is available in Windows, or by using other Remote Desktop clients.
