How to deploy Office 365 ProPlus with and without Microsoft Teams from Intune – Mobile-First Cloud-First

maximios June 25, 2022

Here in march 2019 my tenant was updated to install Microsoft Teams as part of the Office 365 ProPlus Click to Run installer. According to the Microsoft documentation this roll-out started in in late February 2019. There is some thing you need to know about this change.
Why is this important?? if you have not deployed Microsoft Teams for your users yet – you may want to ensure that Teams are not installed

  1.  It only applies to new installations of Office ProPlus
  2. Skype for Business is installed as default
  3. It is still the same installer as the MSI installer Microsoft previous has released – this also means if you are uninstalling Office ProPlus you also need to uninstall Teams

Why is this important?? if you have not deployed Microsoft Teams for your users yet – you may want to ensure that Teams are not installed. If you already are using Teams in your organisation you don’t need to think about installing Teams for your end users anymore. If your organisation has already moved from Skype for Business to Teams you

This is some important dates – from this

Update channel Version Date
Monthly Channel Version 1902 March 4, 2019
Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted) Version 1902 March 12, 2019
Semi-Annual Channel Version 1902 July 9, 2019

If you take a look at Office Customization Tool http://config.office.com you can see the build numbers that are including the Teams installer.

If you are running Semi-Annual Channel you are not getting Teams yet

If you are running Semi-Annual Channel Target with the 1902 version you will get teams – on the same channel you can also select the 1808 version with out Teams

Both Monthly Channel and Monthly Channel (Target) has Teams as default.

How do we handle Office ProPlus installer from Intune with  or without Teams??

Intune do not have the option for disable Microsoft Teams at the moment – but there is way of working around it. Remember that this new feature of deploying teams is only when Office 365 ProPlus is installed and not updated online.

As you can see when you are creating a Office 365 ProPlus application Skype for Business is still default checked to be installed – leave that setting enabled if you need Skype installed.

Then you need to set a Suite Name – Office 365 ProPlus with S4B – and I have set the version number in the Suite Description

In the App Suite Setting is here where you choose the Update channel and specific version. If you are setting the update channel to Semi-Annual channel you will not be installing Teams.

If you are selection Semi-Annual (Target) you need to select the version number to be 1808, if you select 1902 you will get Microsoft Teams installed

If you what to install Office 365 ProPlus with Microsoft Teams there is now a way to do it in Intune with out deploying the Microsoft Teams MSI installer your self.

First you need to figure out if you also want Skype for Business installed on your devices – if not be sure to deselect Skype for Business in Configure App Suite

Then you need to set a Suite Name – Office 365 ProPlus with Teams – and I have set the version number in the Suite Description

In the App Suite Setting is here where you choose the Update channel and specific version. If you are setting the update channel to Semi-Annual (Target), Monthly channel or Monthly (Target) you will get Microsoft Teams as part of the Office 365 ProPlus installation.

If you are selection Monthly channel you need to select the version number to be 1902 or newer to get Microsoft Teams.

Happy testing
