Deploy Office 2010 using System Center 2012 Configuration Manager

  • 项目

One of the newest features in Configuration Manager is the new application model. Through this model, you can automatically detect information about the application from MSI application files. However, If you are used to deploy Office 2010 using the “setup.exe”, you can still do so by following the steps in this article.

From the Configuration Manager console, right click Application and click Create Application

1

Select Automatically detect information about this application from installation files andselect PROPLUSWW.msi

2

Click Next twice and on the General Information page select Install for System and fill other informations as needed

4

Click Next twice and make sure the Create Application Wizard is completed successfully

6

Right click the Deployment Types tab found in the lower right pane of the console and click Properties

7

Select the Programs tab and replace the installation program field by setup.exe

8

On the Content tab, modify the content location to the Office 2010 root media

9

Now we have the application ready for deployment. Right click Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 and click Deploy

10

On the General page, select the collection you want to deploy Office 2010 and click Next

11

On the Content page, select a Distribution point or a distribution point group

12

On the Deployment Settings page, select Install from the Action field and available or required

13

Click Next on the remaining pages until you hit the Completion page

16

From the Client Machine and since we made this deployment of type available, let’s open Software Center and ignite the installation

17

Wait few minutes till the files get downloaded

18

The installation will start and once completed, the product will appear as installed

    Brilliant write-up! This is so much easier than the convoluted methods I had been splicing together to suit my needs. Hopefully the Office team will have the MSI method integrated more firmly by next release, but even if they don't this is easily managed. Great work!

    I've gone through a lot of hassle trying to figure out the best way to package and deploy Office products with SCCM 2012, and this is by far the best way to do it.  Every other method I tried would cause something to go wrong with another product, so when Visio installed for example, it would mess up the rest of the Office products.  This does a truly "normal" installation as if you went and clicked setup.exe and ran it manually.  The only downside, if it is one for you (it's not for me) is that you can't uninstall the application through the Software Center.  You can still go to Programs and Features or add/remove programs and uninstall it there though. Thanks for this write up!
