Step 5-7: Configure an Unattended Installation of Office Professional Plus 2010

Configuration Manager 2012 distributes the files and folders used to deploy Office Professional Plus 2010 but does not provide the method for performing an unattended installation after distribution. Instead, the unattended installation must be configured using methods provided in Office Professional Plus 2010. You can configure unattended (silent) installation of Office Professional Plus 2010 using one of the following methods:

· Create an Office Customization Tool (OCT) Setup customization file (.msp file).

· Modify the Config.xml file.

For more information about each of these methods, see Customize Setup before installing Office 2010.

For the purposes of this guide, the unattended installation of Office Professional Plus 2010 will be done by creating an OCT Setup customization file (.msp file). You will save the OCT Setup customization file in the Updates folder, which is automatically scanned by the Office Professional Plus 2010 Setup Wizard.
