Hi people,

English is not my mother language so i'll hope you'll understand me.

I have a school project. Deploying office through group policy worked. But now my teacher has given me a command to give all OU's a different OFFICE packet when they logged in. So.. it will change the current installation when a different user from a different OU logged in. I'm out of options. Please can anybody help me:(:(

Hi,

if I understand correctly, whenever a user logs in, the current status of Office would need to be detected, then, consider which user is currently logging on, examine which Office configuration is needed for that user, then uninstall any existing Office, and install the necessary Office/configuration ?

This sounds a crazy/bad idea, I never heard such a requirement in 25 years of IT !

Do I misunderstand ?

No you don't misunderstand :p  My teacher first did it wit Office 2003 and know i must do it in office2010.. and i also thought it was a stupid idea.. But who am i... i have not much knowledge in IT.. i'm still learning.

But i have 2 options

To confince him that this is not a good idea... (and i dont know with wich argument)

or find a way to do this... 

Hello

sorry if I misunderstand.
so let's try: install all office to pc https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2121447 install office 2003 and office.... and create gpo to ou and when user login to desktop add desktop that office icon what need...
or use app-v... or terminal server.. or you are student and teacher add homework? :)
but user start login and waiting to install office... 

Ehm... I dont understand........ 

I only need office 2010. This i deployed through a group policy... and it worked. But that GP is for 1 OU. I need another office packet with only word or excel through a group policay linked to another OU. Soo..

Situation:

OU=student only office

OU=teacher= only office excel 

when i loggin with user from OU teacher it will only install office and excel(worked) but when i loggin with user from OU student then excel needs to be removed en there must only be Office...

Sorry for my bad english...

Hello

tip:
1, create msp package and gpo https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179196%28v=office.14%29.aspx
2, install full office to all computer and create  group for teacher and add access denied to all office .exe except excel.exe

sorry if I misunderstand again :(

Yes but ive been searching on the intenret.. and i cant find how to deny acces on software for OU... 

No you don't misunderstand :p  My teacher first did it wit Office 2003 and know i must do it in office2010.. and i also thought it was a stupid idea.. But who am i... i have not much knowledge in IT.. i'm still learning.

Hmm, so, I think that kind of crazy was possible with very old versions of Office, which could be "advertised" via GPO to achieve per-user scenarios, but Office2007 and later versions, don't provide such different per-user options as part of setup.

Office2007 and later, uses the MSPfile etc for customization, and that is per-machine (common to all users of that machine).

You might be able to achieve something similar, by using AppLocker (e.g. AppLocker rules which deny excel.exe to be executed by GRP_Students).

But this doesn't address the matter nicely, because the Students can see the Excel shortcut/icon/program, but are forbidden to execute it.

Hi,

How's it going now? Are you able to deploy the office to different groups now?

If you have any concern, feel free to post back.

Best Regards,
