Now Jay… you know me well enough to know that I don’t remember anything that happened before Saturday night. ☺
From: Marsett, Jay [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, June 16, 2015 10:37 AM To: [email protected]; Marcum, John Subject: RE: [mssms] RE: Office 365 CTR Installer Ahh the joys of reg2xml. http://www.reg2xml.com/ Just make Reg files and this tool converts them to xml that can be dragged into the GPP registry node. I’ve seen others do this with xml created using Powershell as well. As Phil stated, just set the reg group, or the individual items, to “apply once and do not re-apply.” No more hunt and peck for GPP registry items. John, I thought we talked about this forever ago ☺ From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jay Parekh Sent: Monday, June 15, 2015 3:16 PM To: Marcum, John; [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [mssms] RE: Office 365 CTR Installer You can use the Registry Wizard in GPP to start at the top level of a key if needed and it will import the keys so you don’t do one by one. The attached spreadsheet has the locations of the keys.

I’m not saying it can’t be done but I’d prefer to have an easy customization wizard like thick office has. Just seems like I’m taking a huge step backwards.

I work for an organization that has 400 owners. We default everything the way we think it should be but different people like things different ways so we allow them to change settings as they see fit.

In the legal industry we heavily customize office to fit our needs. Word is probably the most important application to our business. I’ve learned that there is no customization tool for CTR like there is with the old thick installer for office. My MS rep tells me I have no choice but to use the CTR installer because that’s what we are licensed for. He went to the Office product team and they let him know in no uncertain terms that they have no intention of giving the same customization ability to ctr that exists in thick installer versions of office. I’m being told that I’ll have to modify reg keys to customize office. Frankly that stinks! ________________________________ John Marcum MCITP, MCTS, MCSA Desktop Architect Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP ________________________________ [H_Logo] ________________________________ Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail is from a law firm and may be protected by the attorney-client or work product privileges.
