Deploy Office 2010 with Multiple Languages with MDT 2010

I Like Office 2010. For me it is the best Office version i ever worked with.
MDT 2010 it’s great tool that Microsoft created.
Now i will talk about how you deploy Office 2010 with Multilanguage packs with MDT 2010.

Step 1: Download the Office 2010 English version booth will be in x86 & x64

Step 2. Download the Office 2010 (language) Multilanguage iso only available from the Microsoft Volume Licensing site. Both in x86 en x64.

Step 3. Add the Office 2010 English version to MDT 2010 here office-2010-uitrollen-met-mdt-2010

Step 4. Extract the Office 2010 (language) Multilanguage iso with 7zip in the same application folder witch you created in Step 3.

Step 5. When you open MDT 2010 management console and you go to the Office 2010 Application that you added in step 3. You wil see that MDT sees more the one language. In my case it was en-us and nl-nl. The Screenshot is from the older MDT 2010 you MDT sees Office 2010 as Office 2007. MDT 2010 beta 1 supports Office 2010. I found till now no issues deploying Office 2010.

    Checking Microsoft Office 2010 KMS Activation Status

    Before you start you must al ready have a kms server.
    On the KMS server you need to install the Office 2010 KMS Host License Pack on the KMS Server.
    Launch Microsoft Outlook 2010
    Click to the File tab. Click Help.

    Office is not activated

    Determining Which Activation Method Office is Using – KMS or MAK

    Click the start menu and enter cmd /k cscript “%programfiles%\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs” /dstatus in the search box.

    If running 32 bit Office 2010 on 64 bit Windows, %programfiles% above should be replaced with %programfiles(x86)%.

    Not Activated

    Checking if a DNS Domain is Configured for KMS Auto-Discovery

    To check if a DNS domain is configured for KMS auto-discovery, check that a SRV record exists.

    nslookup -type=srv _vlmcs._tcp.wardvissers.nl

    If a SRV record exists for the domain, the DNS server will detail the SRV record. 

    

    C:\>nslookup -type=srv _vlmcs._tcp
    

    Server:  ward-dc02.wardvissers.local
    

    Address:  192.168.150.6
    

    Non-authoritative answer:
    

    _vlmcs._tcp.wardvissers.local SRV service location:
    

              priority       = 0
    

              weight         = 0
    

              port           = 1688
    

              svr hostname   = ward-dc2.wardvissers.local
    

    If no SRV record exists for the domain, the DNS server will return an error 
    

    Verifying that a Windows Computer can Communicate with the KMS Activation Server 
    

    KMS activation requires that the machine to be activated has TCP port 1688 open for outbound communication to the activation server.
    

    Verifying that outbound TCP port 1688 is open to the KMS server 
    

      

    1. Download and install the utility portqry.exe from Microsoft. It is a command line utility from Microsoft that reports the port status of a remote host.

    2. From a command prompt, run the command: 
      3. 

    

    portqry.exe -n ward-dc02.wardvissers.local -p tcp -e 1688
    

    The command will return “TCP port 1688 (unknown service): LISTENING” if the computer is able to communicate with the KMS server.

    If the command returns “TCP port 1688 (unknown service): FILTERED” then the computer is unable to communicate with the KMS server 
    

    Manually Specifying the KMS Activation Server
    

    1. Type cmd in the search bar to locate the command window.. 
    2. At the command prompt, type cd\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14. 
    

    If running 32 bit Office 2010 on 64 bit Windows, Program Files above should be replaced with Program Files (x86). 
    Run the command cscript ospp.vbs /sethst:ward-dc02.wardvissers.local to manually specify the KMS activation server.

    Run the command cscript ospp.vbs /act to activate Office with the KMS server.
