I just had Office 2013 handle all the uninstalling of 2010. It did leave some stuff behind. I think it was a bunch of the language stuff. No one lost their personalization. The email background templates did change. I had one account received lady up in a tissy fit over that.
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Griffin Craig Sent: Thursday, September 4, 2014 3:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] Office 2010 to Office 2013 Upgrade ConfigMgr 2012 R2 Environment w/ Windows 7 Desktops I'm looking at rolling out Office 2013 towards the end of the year to co-inside with our Exchange 2013 migration (Fun times). I started out by simply configuring the OCT with its default behavior to remove previous office versions. This works for everything except for the Office 2010 Tools and Lync 2010. (Which I knew it wouldn't remove Lync anyway) I was curious as to what others had done when they migrated to Office 2013. Did you run a script to uninstall Office and Lync prior to the upgrade? If so, I assume the end users lost their customizations, signatures, and such right? Or did you find a way to do the upgrade and clean up Lync and the Office 2010 Tools? Any help or advice would be appreciated! Thanks! Craig Griffin Systems Administrator
