Installing Office 2016 Pro (not 365) to Windows 2008 R2 RDS

Hi

Assume this is pretty straightforward and done in the normal manner via add remove programs - install program via network?

Thanks

If you have MDT and WDS installed in your environment you can deploy (or)
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="SharedComputerLicensing" Value="1" />

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.

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..?
