Microsoft Office Cookbook

This Chef cookbook installs Microsoft Office 2016 from an ISO. It is working fine, but is not fully completed. You're welcome to contribute!

Requirements

This cookbook requires 7-zip to be installed so it can extract the ISO. To ensure this happens this cookbook includes the 7-zip default recipe.

It was successfully tested on:

Windows 10 Pro

Also it should work on:

Windows 7
Windows 8 (8.1)
Windows 10 Home
Windows 2008 Server (R2)
Windows 2012 Server (R2)
Windows 2016 Server

Usage

Set the node['msoffice']['source'] attribute to the download location of the MS Office ISO and add 'msoffice::default' to your runlist. Using a Virtualbox synched folder and supplying the local path is working ok.

By default this cookbook assumes you're installing Microsoft Office 2016 Standard.

Attributes

Required

node['msoffice']['source'] - Required, fully qualified http(s) path to the ISO directory. For example: http://example.com/installs

Optional

node['msoffice']['edition'] - MS Office edition to install. Default: standard
node['msoffice']['bitversion'] - Choose between '32bit' and '64bit' MS Office edition to install. Default: 32bit
node['msoffice']['pid_key'] - Your MS Office product key. You can leave it undefined or empty to enter key manually later.
node['msoffice']['companyname'] - If you want a Company Name registered to the MS Office software.
node['msoffice']['username'] - If you want a users name registered to the MS Office software.
node['msoffice']['auto_activate'] - Activate MS Office product after installation. Default: false

Attributes per each edition:

node['msoffice'][<edition>]['package_name'] - The name of the package as it shows in Add/Remove programs. Default is Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013.
node['msoffice'][<edition>]['filename'] - The name of the ISO file located in the 'source'.
node['msoffice'][<edition>]['checksum'] - SHA256 checksum of the ISO.
