start an office install

[alonp]

Helo,

I want to start an office 2003 installation immediately after the winxp installation finishes.

the xp joins the domin during the installation.

the problem is that the office installation files are on a share on a domin member server but after the win-xp installation finishes it logs on automaticly with a local user so it does'nt have access to the share. I don't want to copy the office installation files to the local drive, what can I do ?

[cluberti]

I would suggest multiple autologons and runonceex to do this.

@ chiners_68

Could you confirm whats in your Office2003.cmd file and do you update the SP2 also..

[Gaprofitt]

Where are you placing the runonceex.cmd file? Also can you list the contents of your cleanup.cmd file?

[chiners_68]

it depends what you want or how you are installing office 2003 on what you want in your batch file..

for machines which are on my domain i install an administrative install of office which is up to date with SP's & updates.

Office2003install.bat

cmdow @ /HID

@echo off

"\\EBC-img-01\it$\Software\Office\Office 2003\CD1\setup.exe" TRANSFORMS="\\EBC-img-01\it$\Software\Office\Office 2003\cd1\New Custom Setup File.MST" /qb-

exit

for machines that have a local install source of Office 2003 I call an office2003install.bat to install office them a Office2003SP2.bat for service pack 2.

Office2003install.bat

cmdow @ /HID

@echo off

"\\EBC-img-01\it$\Software\Office\Office 2003\CD1\setup.exe" TRANSFORMS="\\EBC-img-01\it$\Software\Office\Office 2003\cd1\New Custom Setup File.MST" /qb-

exit

Office2003SP2.bat

cmdow @ /HID

@echo off

"\\ebc-img-01\it$\Software\Office\Office 2003\Office 2003 Administration\Office updates\SP2 Laptop_Standalone\Office2003SP2-KB887616-Client-ENU.exe" /q

exit

RunOnceEX.cmd sits in your $OEM$ folder with the cmdlines.txt i call RRunonceEX.cmd from the cmdlines.txt.

Everything you need to know about setting up a RunonceEX.cmd ststem of install is here http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/31/

here is my cleanup.cmd

cmdow @ /HID

xcopy "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Adobe Reader 7.0.*" "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\desktop" /y

regedit /s %SystemDrive%\install\intel_Tray.reg

RD /S /Q %SystemDrive%\temp

DEL /F /Q %SYSTEMDRIVE%\*.7z

DEL /F /Q %WINDIR%\system32\setupold.exe

DEL /F /Q %WINDIR%\system32\7za.exe

DEL /F /Q %WINDIR%\system32\presetup.cmd

RD /S /Q %SystemDrive%\D

RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\drivers\

RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\install\

exit

You can try installing it via GPOs

make sure you make an MST file first. Then, add OFFICE 2003 into the GPO.

Check out MS site for further instructions.
