[Office XP - Excellent Office guide]

Sorry, you got me wrong, I meant the version number of your Office XP.

Uhm btw: is there a chance to edit that administrative point? I need to change the key for each machine (of course).

Is the product key locked to the CD or is it for activation only?

@AaronXP

What's the exact version of your Office XP Professional?

I've got plenty of Office CDs here at work so maybe I can find one to create a installation point

I tried some now but I don't wanna waste the time to dig through 50 CD sets...

If anyone has another good idea to do a silent Office install pls lemme no

Maybe the date you got it/it was sold could help... Thx in advance!

[Some general questions]

Thx for all your help!

Got everything...

1: Domain usergroups can be added using net localgroups administrators DOMAIN\GROUP /add

Quite simple, eh?

2: There's a registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Add/change following values:

DefaultUserName

DefaultDomainName

AutoAdminLogon = 1

If you want to execute a batch as this user try the value

UserInit

Have fun!

Hi!

Thx so far! That "net localgroup administrators Joe /add" was (almost) what I was looking for....

How do I tell Windows to log on automatically with a domain account? We create a user on server and log onto a domain, so ....

[Some general questions]

Is there no way to do this?

Please help!

[Some general questions]

Thx!

If anyone can tell me about that user management thing I'm the happiest guy for today

Hi!

Thx for that quick answer

But won't I get in trouble with activating and stuff, I mean, isn't the product key locked to the CD?

If I try to install several machines from only one CD using different keys, won't it say that the key was wrong? Or is it just a checksum thing?

Thx again!

Hi @all!

I'm new to this forum, so first a big "Hello!"

Browsing through the threads there are still some questions left for my problem:

I work for a bigger company and we often have to setup new pcs. That is why I thought an unattended setup might be useful.

It seems to me there are some gaps for us.

1. I wanted to make a CD (-Set) for a complete basic setup (like Windows XP, Office XP, Lotus Notes etc.). The problem is that we don't use corporate editions.

The question is: is the XP CD locked to it's special key or can I install from one CD to several machines changing only the key? We purchase a lota notebooks so it's stupid to take the corporate edition and buying a new professional licence with each machine (it's hard to get a notebook without a license...).

2. Can I add a domain-user or -group to the local admin group automatically?

I think that's it for now, maybe there'll be more probs further on!

Sorry if my English isn't that well...
