Introduction
Deploy Microsoft 365 or Office LTSC to Windows devices automatically — on a schedule, on new device enrollment, or as part of any automation workflow. Choose the specific product variant that matches your licensing, and Level handles the rest.
Install Microsoft 365 for Windows
From the automation pipeline in edit mode, click + Add action and select Install Microsoft 365 for Windows from the App management category.
The action panel opens with two sections: Action type (pre-set to Install Microsoft 365 for Windows) and Step configuration.
Product
The Product field is required. Select the Microsoft 365 or Office LTSC variant that matches the license you're deploying.
💡 TIP: Use the "(no Teams)" variants if your organization manages Teams deployment separately or if devices already have Teams installed through another channel. Installing over an existing Teams install can cause conflicts.

FAQ
What happens if Microsoft 365 is already installed on the device? The action will attempt to install the selected product regardless. Behavior depends on the existing installation state — if the same product is already present, the installer may no-op or upgrade in place. If a different product variant is installed, you may end up with a mixed state. Use a Conditions filter to check for existing installations before running.
Does Level use the Office Deployment Tool (ODT) or a different installer? This is handled by Level internally. The action downloads and runs the appropriate installer for the selected product.
Can I deploy to macOS devices with this action? No. This action targets Windows only. Use the Install Microsoft 365 for macOS action for macOS devices.
What if the device doesn't have internet access during the action? The installer requires an internet connection to download. The action will fail if the device can't reach Microsoft's CDN. Check the automation run log for error details.
Who can add or modify this action in an automation? Technicians with permission to edit automations in the relevant group. See Workspace → Permissions for access control configuration.
