Struggling to successfully run the Office Deployment Tool on RDS 2019
I have to setup Office 365 ProPlus on a new 2019 Remote Desktop Server. I have successfully setup the RDS and am able to log into it with my users. Now I need to install Office365 for my users. I have downloaded the ODT and created a folder under C:\Office for my install files to go.
My configuration file is as follows:
<Configuration>
<Add SourcePath=C:\Office OfficeClientEdition=32>
<Add OfficeClientEdition="32" Channel="Monthly">
<Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
<Language ID="en-us" />
</Product>
<Product ID="VisioProRetail">
<Language ID="en-us" />
</Product>
After running the command setup.exe /download downloadconfiguration-Offi
It appears that it creates the "Office" folder in the correct place but does not download any files. What could I be doing wrong? I have internet and connectivity. My issue is clearly something with the xml file as far as I can see.

Hi Thomas
Could you turn off antivirus or firewall?
Also for testing try the offline installer to isolate the issue.
can check your source path?
<Add sourcepath="\\servername\o
or
<Add SourcePath="C:\Program Files (x86)\Office\" OfficeClientEdition="32">

I have tried the "offline install" method but when I do that, I get an error when opening any Office app that says:
This copy of Microsoft Office cannot be used on a computer running Terminal Services. To use Microsoft Office on a computer running Terminal Services, you must use a Volume License edition of Office.
I have confirmed I am licensed with E3 O365 so I should be able to use this version however I think my issue is that I must install with the Office Deployment Tool?

So according to the link you sent (thank you), I have tried the offline installer, we don't use proxy settings, and I have disabled the firewall and AV software. I have good hard drive space as this is a brand new machine and I am using a non-metered, wired, internet connection.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this or should I dub this question dead?
