General Description This document describes how to prepare, add and deploy an application (Microsoft Office
Professional Plus 2013) using the Application library of System Center 2012 Configuration
Manager.
Prepare Office 2013 for deployment
Overview This procedure describes how to prepare Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 to be installed
unattended. The aim of this procedure is to create and prepare the installation source folder,
for use with System Center 2012 Configuration Manager.
This procedure does not cover:
Download the Volume License Edition of Microsoft Office 2013 installation files.
Configuration of KMS or Active Directory-Based activation
Pre-requirements In order for the operator to perform the steps describes below, the following requirements
must be in place:
The operator must have access to the volume license edition of Microsoft Office
Professional Plus 2013.
Process Steps
1. Copy all content from the Microsoft Office 2013 DVD to a source share like:
\\SCCM01\Source$\Applications\Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 ENU\DT-
MSI_x86\.
Note: If an application has more than one deployment type, we need to create a source
folder (DT-MSI_x86) for each deployment type.
2. Start the Office Customization Tool (OCT), by running Setup.exe /admin, from the
source folder.
Note: The OCT is available only with the volume license editions of Office.
3. If required click OK to the User Account Control (UAC) prompt.
4. Verify that the correct product and version is selected, and then click OK.
5. In the Default File Types, pop-up, select the format you wish to use. The default is
“Keep Current Settings”. In this example, we will select Office Open XML formats
as the default, and then click OK.
6. In the Microsoft Office Customization Tool wizard, you can customize almost all
available settings, but in this example, we will only configure a few of these settings, to
make the installation completely silent, and to provide a simple user experience to the
end users, when they install Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013, from the System
Center 2012 Application Catalog.
7. Select Install location and organization name, and fill-in your company name.
8. Select Licensing and user interface, and then select “I accept the terms in the
License Agreement”. In the Display level, select Basic, and select both Suppress
modal, and No cancel.
Note: If you do not plan to use either KMS or Active Directory-Based activation, you
should also specify the MAK product key on this page.
Active Directory-Based Activation (ADBA) is a new feature for Windows 8, which
enables enterprises to activate computers through a connection to their domain.

9. Select Modify Setup properties, and click Add…
10. In the Add/Modify Property Value dialog box add the following information, and click
OK.
Name: SETUP_REBOOT
Value: Never
11. To disable the Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 Welcome screen, select Modify
user settings, expand Microsoft Office 2013, Privacy and Trust Center.
Select Disable Opt-In Wizard on first, and then double-click on the setting and
select Enable.
12. That's it… Click File and then Save as, and then save the MSP file in the Updates folder
in the source folder. You can name the MSP file whatever you like. I usually use the
company name (ronnipedersen.msp).
13. The source folder is now prepared for ready for silent installations. If you wish to test
the installation source, just run setup.exe, from the source folder, and the installation
should be 100% silent.
Note: if you have service packs or updates (in *.msp format) that you wish to install as
part of the deployment, just copy these updates to the update folder and they will be
installed as part of the deployment.
Create/import the Application for Office 2013
Overview This chapter describes how to create a new application (Microsoft Office Professional Plus
2013) in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager.
Pre-requirements In order for the operator to perform the steps describes below, the following requirements
must be in place:
The operator must have access to a system running the Configuration Manager
Administration Console
The operator must be logged in with a user account with permissions to create and
deploy applications.
Process Steps
1. In the Configuration Manager Console, navigate to Software Library / Overview /
Application Management / Applications.
2. In the ribbon menu, click Create Application.
3. In the Create Application Wizard, verify that automatically detect information is
selected and that the Type is Windows Installer (*.msi file).
Click Browse…
4. Navigate to the source folder (by using the UNC share path).
\\SCCM01\Source$\Applications\Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013
ENU\DT-MSI_x86\proplus.ww\, and select the proplusww.msi file, and click
Open.
Note: Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013, should not be deployed as a native MSI
file (by using the msiexec.exe command), but by selecting the MSI file when we create
the application, things like deployment type and detection methods are created
automatically.
5. On the General page of the Create Application Wizard page, click Next.
6. Verify that the imported information is correct, and that the import was successful.
Click Next.
7. On the General Information page, verify that the Name is displayed as you would prefer
to see it in the Configuration manager Console. Fill-in the Manufacturer (Microsoft),
and the Software version (2013).
8. In the Installation program, delete the default value (msiexec.exe /i
"ProPlusWW.msi" /q), and type Setup.exe.
9. Verify that Install behavior is configured to Install for System, and click Next.
10. On the Summary Page, click Next.
11. On the Completion page, verify that the application was created successful.
Click Close.
12. In the Configuration Manager console, select Microsoft Office Professional Plus
2013.
13. Select the Deployment Types tab.
14. Right-click the deployment type Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 –
Windows Installer (*.msi file), and select Properties.
15. Select the Content tab, and change the content location to
\\SCCM01\Source$\Applications\Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013
ENU\DT-MSI_x86\, by removing the "\proplusww" in the end of the pre-configured
location.
16. Select the Programs tab and change the Uninstall program command to Setup.exe
/uninstall ProPlus.
TIP: In order to uninstall Office 2013 and other similar products like Project and Visio, we need to run Setup
with the [ProductID] switch. You can look up the value of [ProductID] in the Setup.xml file for
the product that you want to modify.
You can also customize the /uninstall option by using it with /config and a modified
Config.xml file. This is necessary if you want to run a 100% “silent” uninstall.
Example (SilentUninstallConfig.xml):
<Configuration Product="ProPlus">
<Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" />
</Configuration>
More information on uninstall can be found here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc178956.aspx#BKMK_uninstall
17. Select the Detection Method tab, and verify that a detection method for the MSI
Product Code has been created.
18. Select the Requirements tab, and click Add…
Note: You can create many different types of requirement rules, but in this example, I
will provide three common examples on requirement rules, we can use to target the
right deployment type for the right system/environment.
19. Create a Requirement rule with the following settings, and click OK.
a. Category = Device
b. Condition = Total physical memory
c. Rule Type = Value
d. Operator = Greater than or equal to
e. Value (MB)= 2048

a. Category = Device
b. Condition = Operating System
c. Rule Type = Value
d. Operator = One of
i. Windows 7
ii. Windows 8
24. Click OK.
25. Click OK.
