Microsoft 365 Deployment Tool for offline installer is longer available.

Question

I need to download Office 365 application for our MDT server for bulk deployment. Previously, I used the 'Microsoft 365 Deployment Tool' for this purpose, but it is no longer available in the Microsoft site.

Any suggestions?

Thanks & Regards

You're right — the Microsoft 365 Deployment Tool (ODT) used to be directly available as a standalone download, but Microsoft has recently changed its availability.

Good News: The ODT is Still Available — Just Moved

You can still download the Office Deployment Tool (ODT), but it's now provided as part of the Office Customization Tool experience or via a direct link.
