How Do You Install Microsoft Office Over A Network?
Your days of going from workstation to workstation with a software installation CD are over. You can install volume-licensed Microsoft Office software on multiple workstations from a central installation point on your network. The Office Customization Tool (OCT) is provided with every volume-licensed Office product. Use the OCT to configure the product setup options, such as the product key and silent or hidden installation processes. This will prevent your users from changing the configuration options or using unauthorized product keys during the setup process. Log on to the computer or server that will store the Microsoft Office setup files. Create a new folder or directory for the files. This is your software installation point. Insert the Microsoft Office installation CD into the CD drive. Copy the files and folders from the CD to the folder or directory you created in Step 1. Give network users read-only permission to the folder or directory containing the Office installation file
