SCCM 2012 SP1 - Problems with Office 365 Deployment using Configuration XML as Package

I am a newbie at being System Administrator and I am still learning, however i have over 11 years of Desktop Support Experience. I have been struggling with this for 2 days, and appears I am not the only one out there with 365 issues. So i have read a few different methods for Deploying office 2013, however I have not had any success deploying the package to the clients.

It seems I figured out how to connect to the Distribution point share successfully. I also figured out how to deploy the package in completion, but i am not sure what exactly is happening once it reaches the actual Client (PC)??? Maybe something wrong in my XML file.

All that i am trying to accomplish is push the clients out to the machine without having to go through that Absurd " Stream Downloader "

I have included my log below as well.

distmgr.log just show the process of copying the files to the DP.
Have you already created a collection and deployed the application? Did it already show up in Software Center on the client? Did the installation start yet?

No Item has not shown up in in Software Center on the Client inside of the Device Collection. I have a already created a collection and deployed the application to the specific collection. 

I cannot see anything after pushing the client. The Status also shows up as unknown in the Asset Details underneath Deployment.

Yes, I know this is an old post, but Im trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?

Since no one has answer this post, I recommend opening  a support case with Microsoft Customer Support Services (CSS) as they can work with you to solve this problem.
