Deployment O365 with current channel Using XML file

After deploying Microsoft 365 Apps, you can change the update channel with the Office Deployment Tool (ODT). Once we change the channel, Office is updated automatically without having to reinstall or download the full version.

1. Download the latest version of the Office Deployment Tool from the Microsoft Download Center.

2. Double-click the office deployment tool executable file to extract the setup.exe file and the sample configuration.xml files. The setup.exe file is the Office Deployment Tool. 

3. Create a configuration file that specifies the new channel name.

      4. Use a text editor, such as Notepad, to create a file named configuration.xml and which contains the            following text:

                    <Configuration>
                        <Add OfficeClientEdition="64" Channel="Current">
                            <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
                                <Language ID="en-us" />                                
                            </Product>
                        </Add>
                    </Configuration>  

    (Note) : This will install a 64-bit version of Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise in English from the Office content Delivery Network (CDN) on the internet. Office will also be updated automatically from the Office CDN when a new Current Channel build is available with new features or other updates.

    5. Copy the setup.exe file and your configuration.xml file to the device where you want to install Office.      An Internet connection is required to install Office and you must have local administrator permissions        on that device. If Office is already installed on the device, uninstall Office and restart the device before      performing the next step.

     6. From an elevated command prompt, go to the folder where you copied the files and run the                   following command: setup.exe /configure configuration.xml

(Note) : This copies the Office files from the CDN on the internet to the device and starts the installation.

    7. After the installation is complete, open an Office app, such as Word, and go to File › Account. Under      the About section, you should see Current Channel.
