files necessary to run the Office Customization Tool were not found. Run Setup from the installation point of a qualifying product

I have deployed office before, but is there something that I am missing? Is it because of the smell of the pizzas being cooked downstairs?

This KB (951339) : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951339 is not very useful. I got to make this work! And now.

So I remember this thing by PHIWUG MVP’s post on our facebook page:

Lets go back to the TechNet article, Office Customization Tool (OCT) in Office 2013.

The OCT is available only with volume licensed versions of Windows Installer-based Office 2013, Office 2010, and the 2007 Office system. To determine whether an Office 2013 installation is a volume licensed version, check the Office 2013 installation disk to see whether it contains a folder named Admin. If the Admin folder exists, the disk is a volume license edition. If the Admin folder does not exist, the disk is a retail edition.

 

Somebody is sleepy and downloaded the wrong ISO.

 

So I searched the internet and found this": http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30341

The OCT files are located in the Admin folder under the x86 (32-bit) and x64 (64-bit) folders, respectively. Download the appropriate file depending on whether you have 32-bit or 64-bit Office installed. Copy the entire \Admin folder into the folder that contains the installation image you are customizing.

 

Download the installer, then run.

Choose a destination directory (like unzipping) and then copy the admin folder to the office install folder.

Run Setup.exe /admin again and… tadahhhh..

Now, back to my deployment lab! Cheers!

DHCP Binding only to one interface card

I have been preparing for a laboratory for an event while home and a few people are using the internet. I am about to setup a server that needed to connect to the internet and to an internal network. This server has a DHCP server role installed and I don’t want this broadcasting DHCP traffic on the other network. I also don’t want to reconfigure the other DHCP server and I just want to continue with my lab.

I remember the NIC binding feature before and since I just needed the DHCP on the internal network of my lab, ill check if its still there.

Yes, on Windows Server 2012 – the add / remove bindings is still there.

So all I needed to do is un-check the public network and I am done.

Just click OK and that’s it! Now back to the lab, cheers!

and OH, PS. There is this thing on DHCP behavior that only binds to a static IP. If you have another card and its dynamically configured you will not see it here.
