OFF2000: UserName and CompanyName Fields Not Set to Blanks

When installing Office, the UserName and CompanyName fields are filled in, even if you use a command line switch or transform(.mst) file to suppress these fields.

This will occur when you attempt to set the UserName and CompanyName properties to blank, either by using a command line, or by specifiying the settings in the setup.ini file. For example, if you use the following command line to start Office Setup

the UserName and CompanyName fields are still populated.

To set the UserName and CompanyName properties to blank, use the NoCompanyName and NoUserName properties. These properties can be used either on the commmand line, in the setup.ini file, or in a transform (.mst) file. When using these properties, they must be set to one (1). For example, if you use the following command line to start Office Setup: the UserName and CompanyName fields will be suppressed.
