Question on Office 2010 rearm

Hello
I have always deployed Office 2010 in our base Image with MAK key and rearmed Office before capture. We are now moving to a KMS server. I have now
configured our Office 2010 install to use a KMS key in our base image. Do I still need to rearm like I did with the MAK before capture? The second part of the question we are using MDT 2013 and I did find this in the LTISysprep.wsf line 146 to 168 a command
to Rearm Office 2010 if it is present. Does this work?
Thanks

o.O I might have figured this out. I've managed to get another CMID generated with a bit of messign around. Just doing a full test to ensure multiple VDI's get diff CMID's then ill edit this post with details *fingers crossed
Ok managed to resolve this not only does this get the CMID sorted but the rearm count too!!
I've not done full testing of each step but this is exactly what I did and it works
1. Kbfix it ran to uninstall office 2010
2. Delete the HKLM\software\Microsoft\office & HKLM\software\Microsoft\officesoftwareprotectionplatform (had to mess about with permissions to do this). This is the main point, something in one of these registry keys must hold both CMID and rearm count.
Nothing obvious thou.
3. Reboot and then reinstall office
4. run ospprearm and windows rearm. (office rearm was required for me as I tested this after step 3 to check new CMID was created first). NOTE CMID for office is generated on starting office or anything office related (including ospp.vbs to check CMID).
If you didn't do this , just windows rearm is required.
If like me you are using Xendesktop and this is a golden image, this is point where you want to power it down, snapshot it and then provide this snapshot to the virtual PC's so they pick up unique CMID's for both windows and office on next boot up :D

    Hi All
    Originally asked this question in office 2010 install forum but got redirected here.
    Short question is this, the rearm count on Office 2010 standard has been reached and I need to reset this count. I cant find any means to do so. I tried to uninstall office but this does not reset it or change its unique identifier for KMS (CMID)
    In order to get deployment configured correctly, I need to reset the rearm count so I can use ospprearm. Anyone have any ideas?
    Also tried speaking to Microsoft, was less then amusing. Being bounced back and forth to finally be told to log it through support.microsoft.com/oas , which turns out you need to specify a contract number or credit card etc. I don't have any Microsoft support
    agreement, just looking for a little assist!! I was able to sort out the deployment of windows by resetting the rearm count surely its possible for office!!
    Failing the option to rearm office. If there was a way to remove its CMID, this would work for me as well.

  • Basic question regarding SSIS 2010 Package where source is Microsoft Excel 97-2005 and there is no Microsoft office or Excel driver installed in Production

    Hi all,
    I got one basic question regarding SSIS 2010 Package where source is Microsoft Excel 97-2005. I wanted to know How this package works in production where there is no Microsoft office or Excel driver installed. To check that there is excel driver installed
    or not, I followed steps: Start-->Administrative Tools--> Data Sources(ODBC)-->Drivers and I found only 2 drivers one is SQL Server and another one is SQL Server Native Client 11.0.
    Windows edition is Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise, Service Pack-1 and System type is 64-bit Operating System.
    We are running this package from SQL Server Agent and using 32-bit (\\Machine_Name\d$\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\Binn\DTExec.exe /FILE "\\Machine_Name\d$\ Folder_Name\EtL.dtsx" /CONFIGFILE "\\Machine_Name\d$\Folder_Name\Config.dtsConfig"
    /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E) to run this package. I opened the package and tried to find out what connection we have used and found that we have used "Excel Connection Manager" and ConnectionString=Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
    Source=F:\Fares.xls;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES"; and source is ‘Excel Source’
    I discussed with my DBA and He said that SSIS is having inbuilt Excel driver but I am not convinced.
    Could anyone please clear my confusion/doubt?
    I have gone through various links but my doubt is still not clear.

    Thanks Shiven:) If Answer is Helpful, Please Vote

    Hi S Kumar Dubey,
    In SSIS, the Excel Source and Excel Destination natively use the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider which is installed by SQL Server. The Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider deals with .xls files created by Excel 97-2003. To deal with .xlsx files created by
    Excel 2007, we need the Microsoft ACE OLEDB Provider. SQL Server doesn’t install the Microsoft ACE OLEDB Provider, to get it we can install the
    2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components or
    Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable or Microsoft Office suit.
    The drivers listed in the ODBC Data Source Administrator are ODBC drivers not OLEDB drivers, therefore, the Excel Source/Destination in SSIS won’t use the ODBC driver for Excel listed in it by default. On a 64-bit Windows platform, there are two versions
    of ODBC Data Source Administrator. The 64-bit ODBC Data Source Administrator is C:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe, while the 32-bit one is C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe. The original 32-bit and 64-bit ODBC drivers are installed by the Windows operating system.
    By default, there are multiple 32-bit ODBC drivers and fewer 64-bit ODBC drivers installed on a 64-bit platform. To get more ODBC drivers, we can install the 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components or Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable.
    Besides, please note that 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components only install 32-bit ODBC and OLEDB drivers because it only has 32-bit version, but the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable has both 32- bit version and 64-bit
    version.
    If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

  • Rearming Office 2010, the CMID not changing

    Hi
    I use MDT to deploy Windows 7 images.  I have Office 2010 in the image.
    I install Windows7, Office 2010 then rearm Office 2010 using c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform\ospprearm.exe
    which successfully completes.  I've tried with and without a administrative cmd prompt.
    I then sysprep and capture the image, then deploy.
    Its been working fine, but in my latest image its not longer working.  When I deploy the image, Office 2010 is activating on the KMS but running cscript C:\program files\microsoft
    office\office14\ospp.vbs /DCMID on the client they have the same CMID.
    I've tried rearming again on one of the new clients, and then checked the CMID and it didn't change.
    Any ideas?

    Hi
    There are a number of reasons why this can occur.  For example:
    Not running sysprep /generalize on your image.       Note that sysprep /generalize
    is required when creating an image.  See KB162001 for more information
    Running sysprep with unattend.xml that contains the      <SkipRearm> setting set to 1.  It is not recommended to create      images with this setting
    but if you do use it you must set it to 0 or      remove it before you reseal the image for the final time
    To determine if you are encountering this you can use the Key Management Service Log do the following:
    1.On your KMS host open Event Viewer
    2. Right click the Key Management Service Log and choose “Save all events as”
    3. Change the Save as type to Text(Tab Delimited)(*.txt)
    4. Save the file as KMS.TXT
    5. Close out of the Event Viewer completely
    6. Open Excel
    7. Click File, Open, and browse to KMS.TXT
    8. You should see the Text Import Wizard. Choose the following options
        Delimited
        Start Import at Row: 8
        Delimiters: Comma
    9. When complete the data may look all messed up. Don’t worry we will correct that
    10. Click the upper left of the spreadsheet to select the entire spreadsheet
    11. Click Data, Sort, In the Sort By selection choose “Column D”
    12. When complete you should see the data sorted in columns.

  • How do I update my Office 2010 KMS key?

    I renewed our EES contract with Microsoft and in turn got a new Office 2010 key. Our current clients are saying I have 30 days to activate so I would like to update the KMS key on the server with the new one so they'll pick it up. I haven't found any solid
    instructions anywhere so am posting a new question. How do I update the KMS key for Office 2010? What commands do I need to run?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Thanks for the reply. That got me a little further. I updated my EES agreement this summer and got new keys, so thought maybe that was the issue with Office giving me the "This copy of Microsoft Office is not activated." when launching any Office
    product. I installed and activated the new key now but am still getting the same error in Office. The error code it gives me is 0xc004f074. Looking into that error it looks like a KMS issue. These were activating fine last year and I haven't made any changes
    except just updating the key today, but it was doing this before that.
    Here is what was returned before updating the key:

  • Office 2010 home and student

    I am setting up a business that will depend on me being to change websites and some othern things so I really have multiple questions.
        First. This is a very sophisticated Sales system that is using multiple computers. I have Dell Desktop. Windows 8.1 full version. Dell Latitude LTE 8.1 that is an upgrade from 8.0. Nokia 2010 phone that I have seen both ways. It has the
    Black upgrade but one site I was on said I did not have 8.1 and one said I did ( I think that was the Microsoft ) store. And then I am using a Garmin GPS. I have to have trip software and it needs to load multiple addresses. This was for me for my sales territory
    but I think that is about to change.
       I have Office 2010 that is not a very old version but keeps coming up and saying it wants its product Key. I put it in and it checks out OK asks me to get out of office and reenter and it will run OK. I do that and it just keeps doing the same
    thing. This happened after loading the new 8.1.
        This is going to be a business application but the system took me almost a year. I am in project Sienna and have  a visual trial.  
    That I am learning to use. This is going to be business so I need business approval. I am determining if I need developers tools or not. I like developing but I have projects that are already developed and I am not really interested in developing for
    the store. I am going to probably run several web sites. One for Youtube and One for you.
       Plan is to help you both with Mapping.  I am kind of an odd associate but I have witnessed the interest from you and Google on my mapping. I use the Dell tablet for PDF catalogs and Pricing and then The GPS to get me there. The
    desktop for geosinking addresses and a lot of office paper work. The phone has multiple uses. The camara,quick emails, and aps that has all kinds of uses.  
      This is not a fluke I have been working on this for 20 years. The tablets just wont do the job. 2 pounds to heavy,2" to large,2 minutes to slow on boot and it looks like a computer and the older guys don't like it. The tablet changed all that.
    With that said I will be trying to contact your Mapping Division and see if they need me. The system is very difficult to install. Four different computers must talk to each other about the same thing and multiple small problems arise and must be solved. I
    can only at most do 2 systems a month and depending on their equipment they have and want to use maybe only 1. This is to important for that. It saves 2 1/2 hours a day for people who must find a lot of addrsses. That was unexpected. It happens all day long.
    The GPS is saving 10 minutes here and 20 minutes there and ends up saving at least 2 hours a day. Now the icing on the cake. I made 15 calls in one day between 9:00AM and 3:30 PM. These were leisurely calls. When I leave in about 4 days they are going
    to luv me. What I realized while testing this was that most of the stress from an outside sales job was just getting there. When you take that stress off of that job it goes back to being a fun job that is fun to do. You punch the button on the GPS and it
    will go from call to call for as long as you want and pick back up the next day from where you left off. I tried both the phones and tablets for mapping but those really would only work for finding an address here and there. You overload the phone and the
    tablet to try to combine a very sophisticated trip program with them. The tablet would have a very hard time being mounted on the dash and then you pull it out of its mounting to go in and make a call with it. Then try to Email your order in and then put it
    back in the mounting to use as a GPS. The same problem with the phone. It has a very important job with what it does and is overloaded for really a lot of reasons to give it the mapping. Again it would be fine and actually very good to go find one address
    but to start trying to get it to do industrial numbers of calls is just asking to much of one unit. GPS has serious job to do. It is left in the car while you are making the call. It is ready to go when you get back in the car. This is an industrial system
    with serious attempst to save time and money and improve the lives of the people using it. Kindest,Larry Don
      PS this is to important for me to go out 1 account a month with. This will enhance the whole computer industry and needs to be with the big boys and girls that can put together a serious marketing program behind it. Please get this to the right people.

  • Office Plug-in : support for MS Office 2010 version

    We tried to use the Office Plug-in that is available with OBIEE version 10.1.3.3.2 for MS Office 2010 version.
    It does not work and throws an error message that indicates Office 2003 or Office 2007 are the versions that are supported.
    Questions:
    1. Is there a patch available for this plug-in that will work with Office 2010 version?
    2. Does OBIEE 11.1.1.3 (Current release) support Office 2010 through the plug in? If not any insight into when Office 2010 is supported by the OBIEE Office Plug-in
    Also, I heard that Office Plug-in and Smart View are going to be merged into a single product in the future releases... any thoughts on this as well.
    Thanks
    Sundar

    We raised a support log few weeks back on this. The answer Support gave:
    At the moment, Office 2010 is not certified against the current release of OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 and OBIEE 11.1.1.3.0
    Oracle is planning on Supporting MS Office 2010 on with BI 10.1.3.4.2 and 11.1.1.4.0. No official eta's for the releases at this stage.

  • Excel (Office 2010 64 bit) will not connect to Oracle DB not matter what I try

    Hello Everyone,
    I started a new role that requires me to interact with an Oracle DB using Excel.  Currently I have both the 32 bit and 64 bit Oracle clients installed on my Windows 7 PC. 
    Firstly I can TNSPing the database I need to connect to, I can also connect using SQLPlus to the desired database, I can even connect using TOAD.
    No matter what I try I cannot connect using Excel VBA (Office 2010 64 bit).
    The process below used to work for me in a different location, now the objDatabase always is returned "Empty"
    Set objSession = CreateObject("OracleInProcServer.XOraSession")
    Set objDataBase = objSession.OpenDatabase("database server", "user name/passsword", 0&)
    I am not even able to set up a simple ODBC connection working.  I get a error "ORA-12557: TNS:protocol adapter not loadable."
    When using a ADODB connection I get this error. Run time error '-2147467259 (80004005)':
    [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and default driver specified.
    I have place the TNSNames file in both Oracle Home's
    I have even reinstalled Office 2010.

    Hi,
    The 12577 error (12557: TNS:protocol adapter not loadable) is related to Windows Environment or Oracle Home PATH because sqlplus command works smoothly when I execute it inside ORACLE_HOME\bin.
    There are two solutions to this issue:
    1. Put the Oracle DB Home in front of the other paths in the PATH environment variable.
    2. Remove ORACLE_HOME From environment Variable and re-boot PC

  • Problem opening documents from SharePoint (2013) libraries with Office 2010 and 2013 components installed

    Hi
    I've been encountering the problem of Office files failing to open from SharePoint 2013 libraries with the prefix of 'ms-excel:ofv|u|' etc. in the url. Following the
    helpful questions and answers in the forum, I've identified the likely cause as the fact that my main Office installation is 2010, but I also have installed OneDrive for Business 2013 (which I need in order to sync document libraries with my local drive).
    The solution I've seen suggested elsewhere of deactivating the SharePoint integration of Office 2013 components fails for two reasons: there is no way (or at least, I can't find one) of deactivating SharePoint integration probably because, deactivating
    SharePoint integration would likely stop the syncing of libraries/folders.
    One thing that I have noticed in my case that I've not seen mentioned elsewhere is that if I right-click a document and select 'open in new tab/window' the required
    document opens directly in the relevant office package. I don't know if this is a useful observation, but it seems to be new information.
    My question is, is there a way I can continue to sync libraries and open Office documents directly in Office 2010? My thoughts are possible changes to registry settings
    (which I can do, but don't know enough to find the correct ones myself) or (re)installation of software in some appropriate order to leave the correct settings.
    I have 'repaired' my Office 2010 installation without any observed affect on behavior.
    Thanks
    Ray
    (I've just seen a suggestion that Office 2010 SP2 may fix this issue. I've requested to test this, but whilst this may fix my problem, rolling it out to
    other users may be more problematic. In the meantime, other suggestions of solutions are welcome)

    Hi,
    According to your description, it is a good way to do a test about office 2010 SP2, here is an article about this issue- limitations of using the OneDrive for Business sync app with Office 2010 applications , it may help you.

    Hi, I did read all the Microsoft and non-microsoft documentation first. However, I didn't find an answer to these 3 questions: 
    Situation:
    * Locally installed Office 2010.
    * Visio and Projects 2010 sequenced with App-V 5.0 SP3 sequencer with integration scenario (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2830069)
    * User-target of Visio and Project (I now according to documentation this should be published globally. Since not every user has a license this is no option. So far my tests do not show any problems with user-targeted visio/project)
    * Visio has "allow COM objects to interact with the local system" and "OutOfProcessEnabled" enabled
    1) When targeting both visio and project to the user with integration the licensing component only works for the first started application. Therefore I also install the licensing kit locally which make both the visio and project licensing work just fine.
    Anyone sees a problem with having the license kit installed locally and stream the applications with integration on top? With my tests all seems to work well. The advantage of this is that I do not have to have separate packages for integration and non-integration
    scenario's.
    2) To make drag-and-drop from visio drawings in word work I enabled the COM interaction and I need also to set OutOfProcessEnabled="true". Does anyone now how to set OutOfProcessEnabled to true inside the .appv (it is possible with application
    virtualization explorer) and not only manually afterwards in the xml's?
    3) Should these COM settings be enabled for project as well? It seems that pasting in word from project has not the same interaction, it just pastes a table.

    1.  We did similar, installed that MSI for the licensing component locally, and streamed Project and Visio 2010, and so far so good.
    2. There is no way to set those COM options inside the .appv.  You can set integrated vs isolated, but no IP or OoP COM, you have to use the deployment XML.
    3.  This gets tougher to answer, but it goes to how much isolation do you want.  Some of the articles are great just go over my head slightly, but have to deal with how the filter driver processes certain kinds of COM, IP or OoP.  With Isolated
    (as opposed to integrated) the COM systems (local and package) are totally isolated except for global exceptions.
    With integrated, you can further 'integrate' the COM subsystems by enabling those options.  Correct me if I'm mistaken though.
    So do you need to?  If everything works for you I'd say no, but you might find something else doesn't work without those settings.
    Also very important, you cannot join a CG without those subsystems being equal.  So if Project and Visio ever need to be in a CG together and the COM settings aren't identical, you will get an error at the client.
    I really like this article but not going to lie it goes over my head a bit (a bit or a lot depending on my coffee intake)

  • How to automatcally uninstall Office 2007 32 bit for installation of Office 2010 64 bit

    I have an MSP that will automatically install my companies 64 bit version of Office 2010 provided Office 2007 32 bit is already uninstalled. However, the option to uninstall previous versions of Office does not work in the MSP. We have Office 2007 32 bit
    currently installed and whenever I run the MSP I receive the following: "Setup Error You cannot install the 64 bit version of the Office 2010 because you have 32 bit Office products installed."
    Is there a way to automatically remove Office 2007 using the MSP or some other method? Thanks.
    Wedgies

    What are you creating your MSP with?  I'm thinking that because you're calling the Office 64bit setup routine, that one of the first checks it does before it even processes your config.xml file is to check for previous versions installed, and it hits
    the 32bit wall and stops.  What you should probably do is create a package that has two routines in it.  First process the uninstall of Office 2007 32bit, and once that's done process the Office 64 bit installation.  You could do this with a
    package created by Installshield or Wise and some logic to process Step 1 (Remove Office 32bit) and then upon success of that process Step 2 (Office 64bit Install).
    On a different note...is there a business requirement that you have for the 64Bit version of office?  If not...I don't think this is all worth the headache, unless you specifically need umpteen million rows of data in Excel, and the machines you're
    deploying on have more than 4GB of RAM....just my opinion...
    Also, I'm not sure this is a volume activation question though you might get more responses from the Setup and Deployment forum

  • Live Office SP3.4/Office 2010 - Live Office objects disappear on conversion

    I am testing Live Office XI 3.1 FP3.4 on a Windows 7 laptop with Office 2010 installed and have a question.
    I take an Excel 2003 file (XLS) file that has Live Office connections and open it in Office 2010. Then I save as an XLSX file. While saving I get a message that states:
    "The name, [1]_1_CRADDIN_DataGrid, either conflicts with a valid range reference of is invalid for Excel. The name has been replaced with 11__1_CRADDIN_DataGrid. You may still need to manually update any references to this name used in VBA code or as text arguements in functions. You must close and reopen the workbook before these changes take effect."
    I complete the save then close and reopen the file. When I go check for my Live Office objects, they seem to have disappeared (meaning I right click on what used to be a Live Office object, but I no longer see Live Office on the popup menu).
    Can't I convert my old data models to the new excel format? I am doing this because the XLF is taking a LONG time to open in Xcelsius 2008 SP4 with multiple server busy messages. I thought updating the Excel file might speed things up but since the Live Office objects are disappearing from my spreadsheet this is not working as expected.
    If any pointers can be given that would be great. If I have missed any documenation that may help me out, please let me know. I checked the Live Office documentation and the highest thing for XI 3.1 I see is SP3, no FP3.4 (or even SP4).

    How do I know if Office is 64 bit? If I go to the control panel, I see that "Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010" is installed.
    There are no named ranges in my sheet.

  • Office 2010 and Office 2007 on same machine

    I am currently running the following:
    Xcelsius Engage 2008, service pack 4
    Windows 7, 64 bit
    Office 2007 Ultimate, 32 bit
    Everything working well
    I purchased a version of Office 2010 Home and Student - it has both 32 and 64 bit versions.  My plan was to keep Excel 2007 on my machine so that Xcelsius would still work.  Then,  I loaded the 64 bit version of 2010. It seemed to work for a session, Xcelsius seemed to pull on the Excel 2007.  Then I restarted my machine and Xcelsius could not launch excel.  It seemed to occur right after I tried to import an xls that had been created in Excel 2010. 
    My question is: is it possible to successfully run Xcelsius with Office 2010 Home Student 64 bit?  Should my strategy of keeping Excel 2007 have worked? Or should I accept 32-bit is the reality for the next few years? 
    Also, I see that Xcelsius does not support the Home and Student version of Office.  Why is that?  Isn't excel, powerpoint, word, the same regardless of the version?

    Hi,
    As soon as you restart your system office version is updated to latest version of office that you have installed(64 bit)
    Go through the following link for supported platforms and versions :

  • MS Office 2010 upgrade Home and Student to Home and Business

    Hello,
    I have to change Office versions on a couple of computers from Home and Student to Home and Business. I intend to uninstall the current versions then install the new ones. Presumably the license keys "liberated" can be reused on other computers. Is that
    correct?
    As far as I can tell, MS provides no way to recover a key. There are several utilities on the net that claim to do that. How reliable are they?
    Thanks in advance
    Philippe

    Hi,
    For a preloaded Office version you can locate the product key on you computer.
    If you purchased a Product Key Card, please locate the key on it.

    More information about licenses usage:
    Q:Can I install Office Home and Business 2010 and Office Professional 2010 on more than one PC?
    A:It depends on what you purchase—a Traditional Disc or Product Key Card. If you purchase a Traditional Disc retail license of Office Home and Business 2010 or Office Professional 2010, the retail license terms allow you to install, activate, and use Office
    Home and Business 2010 or Office Professional 2010 on your primary PC and your portable device such as your laptop. This license is for your use exclusively.
    If you purchase an Office 2010 Product Key Card, you can only activate and use the suite on one PC or device. For more information on the license you have purchased and to obtain an overview of your licensing agreement, visit the
    Microsoft Software License Terms (MSLT)
