Office 2003 prompt for username on start up?


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm doing a chained LIS install of Office Standard 2003 from a network share. I've used the customisation wizard to make an MST with the product key so I can now install the product silently on a users computer but one small thing I would like it to do that I can't work out how to do is get it to prompt for the Username and Initials on first start-up of Word and Excel etc. Does anyone know how I can achieve this and still keep the install silent?

I'm so close to getting where I want to be with this and then finally I can move on.

Thanks very much,

Cellardoor

I couldn't find an entry or setting for this anywhere. I think the /qb- silent install switch was forcing it to be entered because when I looked at the registry I could see it was entering MS Office for Initials and leaving Name Blank.

Anyway, got round the problem by using the custom install wizard to remove these registry keys and it now prompts for the name and initials on first start-up.
