NoobCoder's questions

Its such a simple question but apperently very hard to get the answer from.

with our E4 licenses. we installed 150 computers with Office 2013, last summer.
I used the 'ODT' method. in the config XML. I DON'T handle updates, which Means the clients individually updates from Microsoft (as it is now)

This is my configuration.xml

<Configuration>
    <Add SourcePath="\\server1\Source$\Applications\Office365" OfficeClientEdition="32">
        <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
            <Language ID="da-dk" />
        </Product>
    </Add>  
</Configuration>

Now I'm reading stuff like this on TechNet:

From the Internet If you've configured your users to get updates directly from the Office Content Delivery Network (CDN) on the Internet, the upgrade to Office 2016 is scheduled to begin in February 2016. At that time, the Office 2016 files will be automatically downloaded to users' computers and the upgrade of Office 365 ProPlus will occur.

Will my clients get automatically updated... this month? If so, I can stop it with a Group policy I suppose. And then what? setup my own updates share? And start using WSUS?

Hi guys I have 150 devices with Office365

A point-to-run/click Office365 was installed on a single device and a image was based on this. the users are set to recieve update automatically. Now currently using Office 2013.

But I've always thought this was just updates for the current office and not a full release Will they also get the entire office 2016 unless I make GPO right now.. to stop it?

I have multiple plugins and honestly dont know if they work with office 2016, so I'm very much interested that it is NOT! released to my users.

Just got some lenovo X240, i7 with touch screen.. I got two issues when trying to enter Windows PE. (PE enviroment is 8.1)

1: First of all I don't get anything in the 'image selection: .. its blank.. The task sequence I use works perfectly on the X240, i5 machine, and most definetly have a capture image assigned.

I'm guessing its because the new i7 machine has SSD?, and not Harddisk. Thats at least the only major difference I can find.

but what confuses me is the fact that I'm able to see the volume.. C:\Windows8_OS .. and I would think that would be the one missing if it was a driver issue?

I've not added any drivers for the model to the boot image, simply because so far from 6 different models, one of them being another x240, I've not had to do so.. when trying to deploy windows 8.1 in windows pe 8.1

how do I figure out if its a driver I need?

2: this is an absurd one

I only get to see half the Windows PE screen.. Yes the resolution on the WIndows PE menu is so low on this monitor, that I simply can't see more than half selections. How on earth can I control the resolution of the boot image?

this is simple, I push out a program, an exe file. And in order for SCCM to know the program has been installed afterwards, it needs to 'detect' the program, as its an exe file this means I need to apply a manual form of detection. In this example I'm not able to use any file, as the versions don't differentiate on files, and I need to be able to tell different versions apart.

I've tried doing this through registry. Here is what I do ->

I confirm that the registry exists after installation, but it fails detecting the program anyway. So basicly the deployment works, but it can't see this registry.

Why?, the path is correct.. I've tried using both the flag in '32'bit and without.
