Deploying Office 2013 and KMS activation

[Kevin79]

I am having a strange issue I hope someone can help me with. I have a package created for Office 2013 Pro with SP1. When I deploy it as part of a collection (not during OSD) it activates automatically. If I add it as part of an OSD task sequence and apply the available Windows Updates, it doesn't activate. Has anyone ever seen this before?

Run this batch as part of your task sequence. Should solve your problem.

@echo off
 
:OSPP
reg query HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\OSPPREARM
if %errorlevel%==1 (goto RUN) else (goto END)
 
:RUN
set ProgramFilesPath=%ProgramFiles%
"%ProgramFilesPath%\Common Files\microsoft shared\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform\OSPPREARM.EXE"
C:\Windows\system32\cscript.exe "%ProgramFilesPath%\Microsoft Office\Office15\ospp.vbs" /act
set ProgramFilesPath=%ProgramFiles(x86)%
"%ProgramFilesPath%\Common Files\microsoft shared\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform\OSPPREARM.EXE"
C:\Windows\system32\cscript.exe "%ProgramFilesPath%\Microsoft Office\Office15\ospp.vbs" /act
REG ADD "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\OSPPREARM"
 
:END

Exit

Thanks. Do I need to do anything special to run a batch script in my task sequence or can I just make a package that runs it and run that package?

[Peter33]

A simple package will do. It's the way i run it too, as one of the last steps in the TS.

Thanks, that worked.
