### Create configuration file: Microsoft Office 365 Professional Plus x64
1. After downloading the most current version of the Office Deployment tool from the Microsoft Download Center using the link provided above, run the self-extracting executable file and extract the files to **D:\\Downloads\\Office365**. The Office Deployment Tool (setup.exe) and several sample configuration.xml files will be extracted.
2. Using a text editor (such as Notepad), create an XML file in the D:\\Downloads\\Office365 directory with the installation settings for Office 365 ProPlus that are appropriate for your organization. The file uses an XML format, so the file you create must have an extension of .xml but the file can have any filename.

For example, you can use the following configuration.xml file, which provides these configuration settings:
- Install the 64-bit version of Office 365 ProPlus in English directly from the Office Content Delivery Network (CDN) on the internet. Note: 64-bit is now the default and recommended edition.
- Install the 64-bit version of Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise in English directly from the Office Content Delivery Network (CDN) on the internet. Note: 64-bit is now the default and recommended edition.
- Use the Semi-Annual Channel and get updates directly from the Office CDN on the internet.
- Perform a silent installation. You won’t see anything that shows the progress of the installation and you won’t see any error messages.

Assuming you have named the file "configuration.xml" as shown above, we will use the command "**setup.exe /configure configuration.xml**" when we create the application in MDT. This will perform the installation of Office 365 ProPlus using the configuration settings in the configuration.xml file. Do not perform this step yet.

>After Office 365 ProPlus is installed on the reference image, do NOT open any Office programs. if you open an Office program, you are prompted to sign-in, which activates the installation of Office 365 ProPlus. Even if you don't sign in and you close the Sign in to set up Office dialog box, a temporary product key is installed. You don't want any kind of product key for Office 365 ProPlus installed as part of your reference image.

Additional information
- Office 365 ProPlus is usually updated on a monthly basis with security updates and other quality updates (bug fixes), and possibly new features (depending on which update channel you’re using). That means that once you’ve deployed your reference image, Office 365 ProPlus will most likely need to download and install the latest updates that have been released since you created your reference image.
- Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise is usually updated on a monthly basis with security updates and other quality updates (bug fixes), and possibly new features (depending on which update channel you’re using). That means that once you’ve deployed your reference image, Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise will most likely need to download and install the latest updates that have been released since you created your reference image.
- **Note**: By using installing Office Deployment Tool as part of the reference image, Office 365 ProPlus is installed immediately after the reference image is deployed to the user’s device, rather than including Office apps part of the reference image. This way the user will have the most up-to-date version of Office 365 ProPlus right away and won’t have to download any new updates (which is most likely what would happen if Office 365 ProPlus was installed as part of the reference image.)
- When you are creating your reference image, instead of installing Office 365 ProPlus directly from the Office CDN on the internet, you can install Office 365 ProPlus from a location on your local network, such as a file share. To do that, you would use the Office Deployment Tool in /download mode to download the installation files to that file share. Then you could use the Office Deployment Tool in /configure mode to install Office 365 ProPlus from that location on to your reference image. As part of that, you’ll need to point to that location in your configuration.xml file so that the Office Deployment Tool knows where to get the Office 365 ProPlus files. If you decide to do this, the next time you create a new reference image, you’ll want to be sure to use the Office Deployment Tool to download the most up-to-date installation files for Office 365 ProPlus to that location on your internal network. That way your new reference image will have a more up-to-date installation of Office 365 ProPlus.
