Unattended Office install from NETWORK

[gbug]

Hi all, ive got my winxp unattended install down pat, and now want to add a office 2k/2k3 install to it. The only thing is, the files are sitting on a network location, not on a pre made cd. Is it possible to do this? Ive run through a custom installation wizard setup, and would like to run the .MST file from my file server.

Cheers.

Installing from the network does work, it is how we do it where I work. The link posted helps greatly. One thing to consider when deciding on how to deploy Office, check out Taking Advantage of a Local Installation Source in the Preparing to deploy section. As long as you have space on the local HD, installing using the above method makes it a little easier to patch the local installs and to update the installation source without breaking the healing point.
