Office Customization Tool Download

The implementation of enterprise software should be well planned and configured to suit the needs of the organization. Standardized installations are time-saving and consistent when IT departments deploy Office applications on hundreds or thousands of computers. The Office Customization Tool helps to overcome these deployment issues by enabling administrators to customize Office installations prior to deployment.

The Office Customization Tool is a web-based tool that allows the creation of custom Office deployment configurations to suit the needs of a particular organization. This deployment tool provides deployment capabilities that are essential to IT professionals:

• Ready-made installation options. Administrators are able to specify which Office applications to install, eliminating unwanted programs to conserve disk space and simplify.
• Language pack selection which installs only the necessary languages to your organization.
• Configure update channels to manage how and when Office is updated.
• Automatic product activation during installation license activation settings.
• Telemetry and privacy settings to adhere to organizational data policies.
• Default file formats and save locations.
• Add-in control to pre-install or block certain Office add-ins.
• Limit features to turn off features that are not in line with company policies.
• Zero-touch deployment silent installation options.
• Export of XML configuration file to be used with deployment tools.

The tool basically provides a blueprint of Office installations. It manages all the details of customizing Office deployments to use in organizations, including the choice of particular applications and the security settings.

The Office Customization Tool is used to create configuration XML files which are read by the Office Deployment Tool during installation. Administrators log in to the web interface, select their options using simple menus, and download a configuration file. This file will then direct the installation of the Office and all the settings will be automatically applied without the user having to do anything.

The tool is compatible with Office 365, Office 2019, and Office 2021 deployments on Windows devices. The interface is regularly updated to add new features and configuration options of Office as they are released.

The Office Customization Tool offers the configuration features that IT administrators need to roll out Office successfully in an enterprise environment. To begin creating custom deployment configurations, go to the tool directly on the Microsoft site at config.office.com.
