Office 2003 as part of a Ghost/disk image - Serial number issue

[Scott McDaniel]

Good day all.
I'm using Ghost to setup 4 new laptops for users. They all have
individual Office 2003 licenses. I am trying to find a way that I can
install Office, but not have the serial number requested until the
first run of an Office application.

I'm using the ORK, but I only see options to 'configure' or 'do not
configure' the installation source. 'Do Not...' offers a text box for
the PID, which I don't want to use of course.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi Scott,

If you're using a hard disk image then its basically
setup to start from an Office Admin point with a
volume license key ( http://microsoft.com/licensing )
and then create a hard disk image:

or use the OEM type setup tools from http://microsoft.com/oem
