Using ConfigMgr will be a tad different.Note: The built in Office 365 ProPlus installation wizard in SCCM, which launches the Office Customization Tool does not currently and at time of writing have an option to select the MigrateArch attribute. In my scenario, I assigned this as available to a group consisting of my user, making it display in the company portal.Įxcuse the danish language – company portal insist on being in my native language due to tenant settings.Īnd post installation, I can verify that my Office 365 ProPlus indeed now is running 64-bit: Assign the app to a group consisting of users or devices.The changes done here, are not limited to the architecture. Note: This requires a minimum of Office 365 ProPlus Version 1902.Īlso, you have the option to modify the entire installation of Office 365 ProPlus in this process.

I expect there will be some migration paths for those as well, where you will need to remove the 32-bit add-in prior to migrating Office 365 ProPlus to 64-bit.ĭoing the migrating using Microsoft Intune begins in the Microsoft 365 Device Management portal: You will have to test and make sure those add-ins are compatible with the relevant 64-bit Office application. Note: Migrating Office 365 ProPlus like this, from 32-bit to 64-bit in production, probably has more to it in terms of considering third party add-ins. I have tested the migration, both using Microsoft Intune and System Center Configuration Manager and the outcome is what made this blog post.

It has been so for some time, but it’s not until lately (at time of writing) that the Office Deployment Tool (in short ODT), is able to migrate from 32-bit to 64-bit in a single operation. When installing Office 365 ProPlus today, the recommended and default architecture is 64-bit.
