Users are prompted for their initials if the Office settings don't exist in the default user profile. You can add the settings by launching all of the Office applications once when configuring a default user profile: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/VCL/How+to+Configure+the+Windows+Default+User+Profile
Regarding the activation, you can add a startup script which runs the activation command: -Run gpedit.msc -Navigate to: Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Scripts > Startup -Click "Show Files" -Create a text file named something like "activate_office.cmd" -Add the following line to the file and save it (the path to OSPP.VBS will vary depending on the version of Office installed in the image): cscript.exe "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\OSPP.VBS" /act -In the gpedit.msc window, click Add, browse and select your .cmd file, and save the changes Regards, Andy On Mon, Jun 16, 2014 at 8:38 AM, David DeMizio <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > I'm wondering how folks are handling activating Microsoft office products > on VCL images.
