Network install?

[owoods]

I have successfully made an automated install of windows and lots of small applications all on one CD. Altho many of our machines have a DVD drive - not all do - and so it MUST fit on a CD and so I cannot include Office.

However, is there any reasons why i cant do....

ECHO.

ECHO Installing Office 2003 Professional

ECHO Please wait...

start /wait \\server\path\to\office\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-

TIA

Of course you can do that!

I'm using an improved solution posted here:

filedisk + ISO image stored somewhere on a network share.
