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.
