I'm having a bit of an issue getting this to work across all of our
devices...

We deployed Office Pro Plus 2013 across the board. Enabled the main apps
(Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint) but left things like OneDrive and Lync
out of that initial install, with the plan to go back and enable them in
the future as needed.

Well, the future has arrived and I am now trying to enable Lync on all of
our machines (from wide open machines to crazy locked down machines.)

SCCM to the rescue! But I am having an issue getting this way to work.

1) If I take a shortcut to Lync and run it on a machine with Office 2013 on
it, it will run the install, and prompt for UNC elevation. For our machines
with local admins, that's fine, and everything installs as expected. But
this won't work for our locked down machines. But it does tell me that
everything I need to install it is local.

2) I tried the customized MSP route, both as an SCCM package and run
locally. This is the command line I used, "msiexec.exe /p
GTI_Install_Ly.MSP" with the MSP simply being to install Lync. I followed
the instructions here:

It runs, I see no errors in the logs or anything like that. But it doesn't
do anything. If I run it locally from an admin command line, the "changing
Office installation" box pops up for a few seconds and then goes away.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

TIA,
Erik
