If you create a configuration file for Office 2016/2019, you can specify if you are going to use a KMS server to activate Office or a MAK key Note that Groove is OneDrive for Business, and Skype for Business is Lync. Suppose, I want to install only Word, Excel and Outlook from Office 365. This convenient web form allows you to create a configuration file to deploy MS Office. But it is more convenient to generate a new XML file containing Office installation settings on the official MS Office website ( Office Customization Tool). You can edit them manually (check the article Deploy Office 2019 in a corporate environment). In ODT directory, there are some sample XML files for Office 2019 ( configuration-Office2019Enterprise.xml) and Office 365 ( configuration-Office365-x86.xml).
Now you need to create a special XML file with Office installation settings. ODT allows you to select Office 2019, Office 2016 or Office 365 apps you want to install or uninstall, select a localization language and various app settings. Run the officedeploymenttool_xx-xx.exe file and extract its contents to a local directory (for example, C:\ODT). To install selected Office apps, download the Office Deployment Tool (ODT) ( ).
