How do I get CD Key info into Office 2000 Package? 1

[azoun]

I created my Office 2000 package with the transform file and am able to successfully able to push it out, but I cannot get it to include the cd key info. In the command line this is what I have:

setup.exe /qb- /wait TRANSFORMS="o2kcustom.MST" REBOOT=ReallySuppress /m off2000

How and Where do I include my cd key?

You cant do this via command line, only using the admin setup command.

To do this you need to run the office Setup.exe /a command. This command creates an administative point on your network and copies the contents of the office CD to a network share of your choice.

When you run the command you enter in the licence key information. Whenever the install is ran from that point the licence key information is already saved into the package!

Just get SMS to use this administrative "copy" of the CD when distributing the package...

Is this the same for packaging Windows 2000 Professional?
I have been typing the Product Key manually.

PS.. page 17 of the Microsoft word document in the link above specifically has information on the unattended answer file where you input your product key (which should be a volume key)

Here's the command-line for the CD Key:
