Client Management Suite

Hi,

Can anyone add some light as to whether this command is correct or not?

When i try distribute an installtion to a remote PC it fails with Task error 30023

The command used once the package has been imported is "Office 2007 Enterprise\setup.exe" /config "Office 2007 Enterprise\Standard.WW\config.xml" /adminfile "Office 2007 Enterprise\MyUpdates\Office2007-STD.MSP"

Any ideas on the correct format of the above command?

Regards

Microsoft says that /config does not recognize relative paths, and urges you to use a fully-defined path, either UNC, local, or otherwise:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc178956.aspx
"You must use a fully qualified path. Setup does not recognize relative paths with /config."

Does the command work locally when run from a command prompt, or do you receive any additional feedback by running it locally from a command prompt?

When i deploy the same job using DS6.9 SP4, it works fine, but there i've specified the full UNC path for each section of the install command, whereas when i'm creating a Software Package i'm not using full UNC.

How are most companies deploying office then to multiple locations? Surely they not distributing  an installation package to all Site Servers and then having a unique script to run for each location so that the job runs from the Workstations nearest Site Server?

Thanks for your input

Consider using a Copy File command to put the config.xml file in a full path, then reference that full path in your Install Command.

e.g. Copy File config.xml to C:\downloads\Altiris\Office 2007 Enterprise\Standard.WW\config.xml

Execute managed software delivery as above, modifying command line for full path:

"Office 2007 Enterprise\setup.exe" /config "C:\downloads\Altiris\Office 2007 Enterprise\Standard.WW\config.xml" /adminfile "Office 2007 Enterprise\MyUpdates\Office2007-STD.MSP"

Does this resolve the issue?

Thanks, its a pitty about the /config switch acting this way, but lets hope for future its not so manual.

Marked you first post as the solution. It was more relevant.

Cheers
