How to different between manual install and silent install for MS Office LTSC 2021.
When manual run install MS Office LTSC2021 silent mode, We found service "ClickToRun" running but When we use Software Deployment run install MS Office, "ClickToRun" service not running.
We would like to know why?

Hi, @itsystem kgi
What software deployment tool do you use? After waiting, whether Office has been successfully installed silently?

Hi,

I use BigFix tools to deploy. When I deploy install MS Office LTSC 2021 via BigFix, It still stack, I found process setup.exe run on client but connot found ClickToRun process.
It's not successfully to deploy.

***In the .xml file, I already edit configuration to silent install.

The Click-to-run service needs to be run. For SCCM, offline deployment can be appropriate if clients are able to connect to the site server.

The site server is the server on which the user first installs SCCM, and is usually a site server, management point, and distribution point at the same time.
For details, please refer to this article: plan-for-site-system-servers-and-site-system-roles
About offline download office2021LTSC can use ODT to download files .The client connects to the site server to install Office.

I try to use ODT and deploy by BigFix but It's not working.

BigFix is not a Microsoft product, we recommend that you go to the BigFix forum to ask questions.
