Outlook with Teams plugin on RDS
Posted by Historical_Copy_9812@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 19 comments
Am I missing something? Whats the offical path here for running classic outlook with the teams plugin . Previously using outlook ( classic ) and teams ( classic ) we have the team addin, it was great, life was great, birds sang from the tree's, small children ran around without a care in the world. Perfect
Now we have New teams, no plugin, advise is to use certain tools on the web. New Outlook sucks balls, new teams sucks even bigger balls.
Whats everyone else doing for RDS now?
Maybe I should crosspost this to r/microsoftsucks/

Also if anyone is using applocker, we recently found out that the teams addin for classic outlook uninstall itself, and the new msi it was trying to install wasn’t signed by the regular MSFT certificate, installation was silently failing. Check applocker logs…

There is a known issue with the Teams addin and Classic Outlook. There is no fix for it yet I am aware of.
Honestly, the New Outlook isn't that bad. Yes it's different but different doesn't have mean it's all bad.
The workaround is to schedule Teams meetings from within the Teams calendar.

Is the new Outlook feature complete YET?
St0nywall@reddit
It's about 90%, but has features classic doesn't have too.
It's very usable as a daily driver.

Download the MSIX installer and extract it with 7zip. It has the Teamsmeetingaddin installer in there and you can just throw it on the file server for ease of access.

Can confirm. Just did this the other day for a client. Works fine.

Weird, we use classic outlook and teams (classic has been deprecated for a long time, it’s just teams now) with the plugin in outlook just fine, it turns on by default.
It gets disabled for being “slow” from time to time for some folks but, works fine.

So on your RDS server you have classic outlook and new teams working with the plugin? I'm not sure what's going on then. I think I need to rebuild.

We use it in our env. Server 2022. Teams, Office, and the Teams Outlook addin are all separate installs, if Teams autolaunches its reliable 95% of the time

Have you looked at Microsoft Documentation and ensure your environment is supported and configured for it? Microsoft Teams for Virtualized Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Learn under the Teams Meeting Addin section

Read the documentation? Are you CRAZY?

I don’t really get your question but this is our workflow:
We still install the Microsoft Office package on RDS via ODT and on newer servers Microsoft Teams package + Microsoft Teams addin via bootstrapper.
Otherwise if the server is older we usually rollout a GPO for the Microsoft Teams webapp.
