Problems with Office 365 / Office 2016

We are now unable to install Office365 / Office 2016 using the Office Deployment Tool.  Because we have a bunch of new things from Sophos going on (new firewall, anti-virus int he cloud and the "ultimate" beta) we are struggling to find the source of the problem.

We do know there are issues with the firewall and the download of the software.

We also know that once we get around the download problem the installation is failing both inside and outside the firewall, indicating that  it might be an antivirus issue. 

The error I can find is "C2R client returned failing error code 17002".  Following through Microsoft's troubleshooting, the one thing I haven't done yet is disable anti-virus.

When deploying to enterprises (even small ones like mine) having to disable anti-virus on each one to deploy software is going to be a pain in the butt. ( I posted  something about not being able to disable tamper protection for "Spectrum" / "Sophos Ultimate").

Please include ways that administrators can distribute software without massive painful hurdles to cross.

  • Hi,

    I do not know where these options are. I may be wrong, but maybe you are guiding me to configure them in the UTM. In my case, I'm using Sophos Central and I do not use the UTM.

    If not, where should I configure these settings in Sophos Central?

    Thank you.

  • If you run into issues installing Office 365 ProPlus on your endpoint, with what browser did you download the Office 365 installer?
    Also, was there another version of Office installed on the endpoint prior to the installation of Office 365 ProPlus / Office 2016? What version?

    Would love to know more about the circumstances this issue appears. I am unable to reproduce it.

  • Hi,

    i see 4 pages with comments, and no one suggested to view the installation logs of office365  ? 

    When you install it if you do it with config.xml, here is my config.xml for example 

     

    <!-- support.microsoft.com/.../2842297 -->
    <!-- technet.microsoft.com/.../jj219426.aspx -->
    <!-- officedev.github.io/.../XmlEditor.html -->
    <Configuration>
    <Add OfficeClientEdition="64" SourcePath="\\MY-NETWORK-PATH-TO\Microsoft\Office365" >
    <Product ID="O365BusinessRetail">
    <Language ID="en-us" />
    <ExcludeApp ID="Publisher" />
    <!-- <ExcludeApp ID="Groove" /> -->
    <ExcludeApp ID="Access" />
    <ExcludeApp ID="OneNote" />
    <ExcludeApp ID="Project" />
    <ExcludeApp ID="SharePointDesigner" />
    <ExcludeApp ID="Visio" />
    </Product>
    <Product ID="SkypeforBusinessEntryRetail">
    <Language ID="en-us" />
    </Product>
    </Add>
    <Updates Enabled="TRUE" />
    <Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
    <Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" />
    <Logging Level="Standard" Path="%temp%" />
    </Configuration>

     

    here is the logs path ->

    <Logging Level="Standard" Path="%temp%" />

    trace what or where is breaking your install.
