To all you SysAdmins out there using Office 365, time to update your install repository and go over your GPO templates.

“Automatic updates will begin rolling out to consumer and small-business subscribers next month, and to commercial customers early next year.”

Microsoft releases Office 2016 | News Center

If you want O365 (official release) now and have O365 you can pull it down manually using the new Office365 install kit.

I might have to upgrade my install

I have a business gpo template for those interested. It's got about 40 settings.

Also. If any one of u guys has a good rds or ts lock down template, I'm very interested in looking at it.

I've been having some weird issues since installing 2016.

Namely when I fire up excel (the only program I've used thus far), the keyboard stops functioning. At first I thought it was just an RDP issue. But then I found that the keyboard locally connected stops functioning too.

Only way to fix it is to reboot.

I found one other person having the issue so far but haven't searched extensively yet.

The weirdest part is that it's a partial thing. Right now I can't type in any program except chrome. If I close chrome and restart it, I likely won't be able to type there either. HOWEVER... in those other programs the tab key works. Escape works. So the keyboard is still there, it's the programs refusing to accept input or something.

I'm not 100% sure it's office 2016, but that IS the latest change to my machine and it didn't start until after that install/upgrade from 2013.
