Office 2010 silent activation after unattended installation

Solution 1:

In case anyone was wondering - Office installs OSPP.VBS in the office14 directory and can handle office activation, among other things.

In OCT I set it to run c:\windows\system32\cscript C:\"Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\OSPP.VBS" /act during post-installation.

All office products are activated after that. I have it silent install Visio, Project and then Office and have Office kick off the activation after and all three products are activated at once.

Solution 2:

Not to muddy the waters on this post but I set this up using this command in OCT:
[WindowsFolder]\system32\cscript [INSTALLLOCATION]\OSPP.VBS
With the paramater of /act

Just in case someone else needs that info. Ross

Just chuck this batch in your post sysprep script, should do the trick for you. Tested working on 32bit and 64bit systems as well as different OSes.

Maybe someone can vbs this one or whatever.
