Deploy office 2010 Volume License Key with Group Policy
I have created a deployment image to install windoes 7 and all our apps from SCCM. everything is working fine but the license keys are removed when the source computer is syspreped. I can insert the windows key from SCCM but I now need a way to easley deploy the office 2010 key.
We have a volume license key so all computers will have the same key. I was hoping to do this with Group policy and then have office automatically activate on line.

run office 2010 setup.exe with /admin, you'll get it.
If you havent already done so, you should look into setting up a KMS server. You can install the Volume Activation Tool 2.0 on any server or pc and then you register the KMS license key for your machine (so for server 2008, you change its license key to the 2008 KMS key, then you install the Office 2010 KMS key and as long as you have at least 25 machines reporting to the KMS server, all subsequent installations will automatically discover your license server and activate themselves without the need to enter license key information into the products.
I miss read the question my apologies. I don't think xml.is the answer.let me check my logs ill be back
Kezzi is correct. Setting up a KMS server is the easiest way. Office 2010 will install with a volume license key by default and attempt to connect to a KMS server. if you install VAMT 2.0 you can push out a KMS key if necessary and activate remotely
