Configure Office 2010 to volume activate at the same time you install a MAK key

@Cerbere,

I asked internally about this issue. It's possible that you have some sort of proxy in place, and that the process or user account under which the installation is running does not have permission to bypass the proxy.

Is the user that’s running the script a local admin, and if not, have they set UserOperations=1 under

HKLM\ Software\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform as shown in technet.microsoft.com/.../ee624357.aspx

@Cerbere,

See my comment to Jamie Kennedy. You either run the 'ospp.vbs /act' command to activate manually or set AUTO_ACTIVATE in the OCT to automate the process. Also, did you place the OCT.msp file in the Updates folder before running the script?

I have been trying to deploy Office 2010 through Group Policy in Active Directory, using OCT to create a custom install, then launching it with the script on this page technet.microsoft.com/.../ff602181.aspx. I have set the AUTO_ACTIVATE property as outlined above, and the custom install works perfectly when run manually. However, when I use the script to launch it, the user is prompted to activate when first running any of the Office components. Any idea how I can have the install auto activate after being launched from a script? (I have already tried path\to\OSPP.vbs /act, without success)

@Jamie Kennedy: Set AUTO_ACTIVATE but don't also run ospp.vbs /act. the ospp.vbs commands are for setting things manually. Let the AUTO_ACTIVATE setting automate the process. Thx, Darryl

Thank you - all the other posts I found were trying to run a program after install to run ospp.vbs and it was never running.

I have tried setting the AUTO_ACTIVATE option in OCT, and tried running the OSPP.vbs /act as a argumant with no luck
