I think you'll find that this works only for VLK versions; from
<http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011401931033.aspx>:
Note Only editions of Office 2003 acquired through a
Volume License agreement or other non-retail channel allow you
to create an administrative installation point. You cannot run
Setup.exe in administrative mode (/a) with an Office 2003 retail
edition.

If the OP does have a VLK, that link provides information on how
to create an Administrative Installation Point.

However, this will work for retail versions:
SETUP COMPANYNAME="company" USERNAME="user" PIDKEY=pidkey

I'll trust you on this one - I've never tried it with anything but a volume
license version. It makes sense - if you want to have Office on multiple
PCs, you have to have enough licenses - so why would one *not* have a volume
license copy at that point?

Yep. I do either of the following:

1. Use new PCs with bundled OEM (and preinstalled Office)
2. Get X number of licenses via the Open License Program.

No SA for any of my clients thus far. MOLP is cheaper than box products, no
matter how you slice it.
