Add verbose logging (using the /l*v switch) and see what happens.

Subject: [mssms] Enable Lync on previously deployed Office 2013

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: 
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179141(v=office.15).aspx

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
