Recompose VDI and Office Professional Plus

[mganassali]

Dear all,

every time we  recompose a desktop, when a user log in for the first time and open an Office appliction (Office 2013) he needs to complete the procedure of setting Office components. (updates etc).

There is a way to let the users to work after a recompose exactly as before doing that?

A recompose sets the desktop to whatever parent image is assigned.   If you wanted to avoid the configuration/installation of office components you would need to make the adjustment in the parent image.    It could also be profile related if your not using any type of person or roaming profile scenerio.

This can probably be done using Group Policy or the Office Customization Tool.

there are 2 parts to your problem. mittim12 rightly pointed out that we need to set this at your Golden Image level. Also if you set some kind of Profile Management Tool like - VMware's Persona Management it will help you.

I believe this Office setting is saved at the machine level, so you'll need to set this on the parent VM and recompose.  Any Office settings saved in the user's profile will need to be handled either by persistent disks, persona management or Windows folder redirection.
