Setting up the network share

Network share involves in creating a shared folder on a server and configuring permissions to allow access to authorized users or devices within the network.

About this task

Use the Fixlet for the corresponding Office version to set up your network share location.

Procedure

  1. From the Patch Management domain, go to the Patches for Windows (English) site > Fixlets and Tasks.
  2. Select the Fixlet for the Office version whose network share you prefer to set up. For example, Fixlet 365063: Set up Network Share for Office 365.
  3. Click Take Action.
  4. From the Action Parameter window, enter the language of the applications in your deployment. To refer to the list of available language IDs, click the link in the Actions panel. Use a semi-colon to separate the language IDs. For example, 'en-us;ar-sa'. You must specify all the languages that are in use across your deployment when you configure the network share location. Endpoints that request a language you did not include will not find the matching update files on the share.
  5. Select the devices and click OK. After the action completes, configure the network share folder privileges to grant Office machines access to the update files. The network share folder will be created at the root of the system drive.
