Gibbon Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Hey All, Im performing an unattended install of Office 2007 during my unattended XP from winbom.ini.I have a .msp file all setup and going fine... apart from one annoying thing..In the msp file im specifiying a valid corporate key, and office installs ok. We then sysprep and ghost the machine ready for distribution.Once a new machine is imaged with the ghost image, Office once again is asking for the key?? Why is it not taking it from the original install?Anyone?TIACheers!Gib
Gibbon Posted July 25, 2007 Author Posted July 25, 2007 After speaking to our TAM @ Microsoft, this is expected behaviour....Like vista, if the hardware changes significantly then Office will remove its serial number and ask for it again whenever you start up an office application.Pain in the arse for SOE developers like myself....Currently I am working with MS on a work around...I think they are really shooting themselves in the foot with some of their paranoid "security" measures these days...*sigh*Cheers
