how can I deploy Office 2010 Professional Plus using SCCM 2007 - Part 2

[anyweb]

In part one of this guide, we prepared Office 2010 X86 by downloading the files required (including the OCT), and created our own MSP file. Now we will add that customised package to ConfigMgr.



Step 1. Create the Office 2010 Package

Note: Before starting this step, copy the c:\Office2010x86 folder we created in part one of this guide, to your application sources share on your SCCM server, eg:

\\WIN-CILZXI45G1Q\apps\office2010x86

Open your ConfigMgr console, and expand Computer Management, Software Distribution. Right click on Packages and choose New Package.



Fill in your package details on the wizard screen



point it to the data source on your network share



and click next through the wizard until you see the confirmation screen.

Will this tutorial work with SCCM 2012?

It will work, but I would use the new application model in ConfigMgr 2012 and do something like this: http://blogs.technet.com/b/meamcs/archive/2012/05/08/deploy-office-2010-using-system-center-2012-configuration-manager.aspx

Guys,

Again great tutorial. I just got another doubt! I have created multiple msp files ( ex-Office 2010Std, Office 2010Pro & Office 2010ProPlus) and moved those to root folder. What is the commandline for adding specific msp according to user requirement? You mentioned that if we run setup.exe it will pick msp from update folder and can only place one msp in there.

 

Thanks again for your tutorial

setup /adminfile "myadminfile.msp"

 

You can also refer to an additional configfile if you want to, by using the switch /config myconfig.xml

Is there a way I can make it to where Office 2010 does not run silently in the background?

Hi anyweb,

 

your guidelines are very useful. I've a question: is it possible to make this installation in a silent mode? I want to update office 2010 to 2013, but I want that users don't have to click on download and on run.

 

Thank you!

If it's a required program that don't have to click anything. At the scheduled time it will start.
