Am trying to install office 365 in windows container. I have office trail version for a month.

Below is my dockerfile:

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:ltsc2019

ADD https://download.microsoft.com/download/2/7/A/27AF1BE6-DD20-4CB4-B154-EBAB8A7D4A7E/officedeploymenttool\_11901-20022.exe C:

RUN C:\officedeploymenttool_11901-20022.exe /quiet /passive /extract:C:

COPY Setup.exe c:/temp/

COPY configuration1.xml c:/temp/

RUN Setup.exe /configure configuration1.xml

ENTRYPOINT powershell

It fails at setup.exe stage, stating wrong username and password.

Below is my configuration.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

-<Configuration ID="85****9c-59d5-4526-809e-f14*****1dc">

    Hi Chitrahaas,

    I tried running above steps using Powershell as well as Command Prompt. But it does not work. 

    1. When I run " Setup.exe /download Configuration1.xml ".... It takes few time. Is there a way to validate that the command did run properly?
    2. Then I tried running "Setup.exe /configure Configuration1.xml" ... It again takes some time, but does not do anything. Office is not at all installed.

    Could you please let me know what is the issue that am making.

    Best Regards

    Tanya Madan

    Hi Tanya,

    Thanks for writing back to us.

    Before we replied to this thread, we tested to install the Office applications using configuration.xml provided by you in the description and we can setup and configure the Office applications without any issue. We would also like to convey that when you install the Office applications using Office Deployment Tool, it won’t ask for Office 365 account, password and we need to activate the Office applications once after it is installed. Here is screenshots:

    Configuration XML used at our end: (we named it as test)

    After running the command setup.exe /configure test.xml

    After finishing:

    Here are steps we had followed (we didn’t use the Dockerfile):

    a. Downloaded Office Deployment Took via this link and run it. It asks you select the location to extract them, specify a location as per your requirement.

    b. Run Command Prompt as administrator and make the directory to the location where you extracted the configuration files.

    c. Open the Configuration file in Notepad and copy the XML file you’re having into it> Save it.

    d. Now enter the command “setup.exe /download Configuration.xml”(Replace the Configuration with name of your file) and run it.

    e. It takes some time to download and after finishing it run the following command “setup.exe /configure Configuration.xml”

    Note: During these steps, it didn’t ask for us to enter the Office 365 account and password.

    Lastly, we couldn’t find out the attribute that allow to automatically sign into Office application for the first time.

    Please give a try and let us know the result.

    Thanks,

    Chitrahaas

    Hi Chitrahaas,

    I am using office deployment tool only to install office 365.

    If you see inside my dockerfile, am first downloading the deployment tool and then using the command setup.exe /configure configuration.xml

    And I think the issue is that post installation using above command, in order to configure the office, it must be looking for username and password to setup office for the first time.

    Can you please tell me where can I put username and password for automatic first time login. So that office gets automatically configured.

    Thanks for your prompt response.
