1) Customize Office setup file.

  1. To customize Office Setup, use the command line setup.exe /admin to start the Office Customization Tool. In this example (using Configuration Manager 2007 to deploy the Office Professional Plus 2010), at a command prompt, run setup.exe /admin from the package source directory, \\SCCM\Office2010\Professional.
  2. CMD -> office setup file path -> setup.exe /admin, will open console shown in below.

    Verify Edition of Office & OK.

    1. To ensure that Office Professional Plus 2010 is silently installed, modify and configure the settings as follows:
      1. In the Licensing and user interface dialog box, set the Display Level to None, which will then enable the Suppress modal check box.
      2. Verify that the Completion notice and No Cancel options are not selected.
      3. Enter a valid 25-character volume license key in the Product Key box that is located under Licensing and user interface.
      4. Select the I accept the terms in the License Agreement check box.
    2. Save and name the newly created .msp file, and then put it in the \Updates folder for Office Professional Plus 2010 on the computer that contains the package source directory, which in this example is \\SCCM\Office2010\Professional\Updates\CustomFileOffice2010SilentInstall.MSP.

      Use this setup file for roll-out using SCCM.

      2) Create Package :


      To create a package
      1. To create a package, in the Configuration Manager Console, navigate to System Center Configuration Manager / Site Database / Computer Management / Software Distribution / Packages.
      2. Right-click Packages, point to New, and then click Package.
      3. In the General dialog box of the New Package Wizard, enter the Name, Version, Manufacturer, and Language. For example, Office, 2010, Microsoft, English (US).
      4. In the Data Source dialog box, select This package contains source files. Click the Set button, and then enter the path for the location of the source files in the Source directory field. For this example, select the source directory location of the local drive, such as C:\Office2010\Professional, which contains a copy of the Office Enterprise 2007 installation CD.
      5. Click OK, and then continue to click Next and accept the default settings in all of the following dialog boxes: Data AccessDistribution SettingsReporting, and Security. In the Wizard Completed dialog box, click Close.
      The package, in this example named Microsoft Office 2010 English (US), is now created. The next step is to create a Configuration Manager 2007 program, which will contain the setup and installation parameters for the Office Professional Plus 2010.

      Create a program that has setup and install parameters for Office 2010

      This example provides the steps to create a program for the deployment of a silent installation of Office Professional Plus 2010, where the users do not interact with the installation process.

      To create a program for the package

      1. To create a program for the Office 2010 package, right-click Programs, point to New, and then click Program.
      2. In the General dialog box, enter a name for the package in the Name field, which in this example is named Office 2010 silent installation. In the Command line field, in this example type setup.exe. Because the customization file, CustomFileOffice2010SilentInstall.MSP, was put in the \Updates folder, a command-line option is not needed to reference its location. For more information, see Setup command-line options for Office 2010. In the Run field, click the drop-down menu, and then select Hidden. In theAfter running field, verify the default of No action required is selected. Click Next and accept the defaults in the Requirements dialog box.
      3. In the Environment dialog box, click the Program can run drop-down box and select Whether or not a user is logged on. This will enable Run with administrative rights for the Run mode. Leave the default for Drive mode to Runs with UNC name, and then click Next.
      4. In the Advanced dialog box, select the Suppress program notifications check box, and then click Next.
        note Note:
        If you want users to be aware of the installation by way of a notification on their desktop computers, do not select Suppress program notifications.
      5. In the Windows Installer dialog box, click Import, and then browse to the directory that contains the EnterpriseWW.msi file, which in this example is \\SCCM\Office2010\Professional\ProPlus.WW\ProPlusWW.msi. After selecting the .msi file, the Windows Installer product code and Windows Installer file fields are populated with the corresponding information associated with the selected .msi file. Click Next, and accept the default values in the MOM Maintenance Mode dialog box.
      6. To view the Summary dialog box, click Next. To finish the process of creating the new program, click Next, which will then display the Wizard Completed dialog box. To exit from the New Program Wizard, click Close.
      The next step is to select a distribution point for the package.

      Select a distribution point


      To use a server as a distribution point for providing packages to distribute packages to the client computers, you must first designate a site system as a distribution point. In this example, the single site server, named SCCM, was initially configured as both a management point and a distribution point.
      To select a distribution point
      1. To select a distribution point for the newly created package Microsoft Office 2010 English (US), right-click Distribution Points, click New Distribution Points, click Next, and then click the check box for the distribution point (in this example, SCCM). Click Next.
      2. Upon completion of the New Distribution Points Wizard, click Close.
      The next step is to advertise the package, Microsoft Office 2010 English (US), which now contains both the Configuration Manager 2007 distribution point and program information for deploying a silent installation of Office Professional Plus 2010. Before advertising the package, you should first verify that it was installed on the distribution point.
