Question

You have a Microsoft 365 subscription. You have a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) that contains Azure virtual machines as session hosts. You need to upgrade the session hosts to the new Teams client by running teamsbootstrapper.exe. The solution must minimize the amount of bandwidth used during the installation of the client. Which installer should you use?

Why each option

For VDI deployments using teamsbootstrapper.exe, the MSIX package is the correct installer because it can be pre-staged on session hosts, minimizing repeated downloads across virtual machines.

Aa PKG file

PKG files are macOS installer packages and are not compatible with Windows-based VDI session hosts.

BMicrosoft 365 apps

Deploying Teams via Microsoft 365 Apps downloads the full Office suite or triggers per-device downloads, consuming significantly more bandwidth than a targeted MSIX deployment.

Ca standalone executable

A standalone executable downloads Teams components at runtime for each installation, which does not minimize bandwidth when deploying across multiple VDI session hosts.

Dthe MSIX packageCorrect

The MSIX package is designed to work with teamsbootstrapper.exe for VDI session host deployments. The MSIX can be distributed once to the infrastructure and applied locally to each session host without each VM independently downloading Teams from the internet, which directly minimizes bandwidth consumption. Microsoft's VDI guidance specifically recommends this combination for bulk deployments.
