So here is the worklet I have been testing; I can get it to work in Windows but when I try deploying through AUTOMOX always an error. Any help would be appreciated. 

 

So the objective is to Install office 365 from a worklet. The current code over PS will install the latest version of office 365; but fails in AUTOMOX.

I found a work around; I know the script works, the one work around is to compile the script into a executable, and install it as a software and not as a script.


Looks like I found another part of the issue; since my environment; the policy isnt defined; it would need to be defined; prior to running the script.
