creating a server install file

[Sylvia]

Could someone point me to directions that will allow me to create a server
installation file for Office 2003 that will enable me to do the following:

1) when run, install everything but Outlook
2) have all of the latest Office 2003 updates installed. (my office pro
disk is daged October 2003).
3) put the product key in on the server so that it doesn't need to be
entered locally on the machine
4) once installed on a client computer, that it be available for all users.

Thanks!

Hi Sylvia,

If you're using a Volume Licensed keyed Office 2003 product you can use the tools and information in the Office 2003 resource Kit to
create an Office Admin Point on the server (Setup /A) from the CD then add the updates and deploy an image.
