It would depend on a lot of things such as the speed of the local network, how busy the server hosting the installation files is, how fast the target machine is, etc. I'm not sure if it works for Standard, I believe we purchased a volume license for Professional Plus. One test you could do is just log in to the target machine as a user with install privileges and execute the command from there and see if that works: \\ssdpmsvr\installs\office2k7std\setup.exe /adminfile office2012.MSP Hi Nanodroid,

I did find one mistake that I was doing I didn't put the .msp file in the updates folder. But I'm still getting the command prompt the just stay in that state.....does this process work with office 2007 standard, I have been seeing in some forums that you can't do this unless you have office enterprise...is this true.

I also checked the targeted PC and it didn't upgrade to 2007...Do you think that I'm doing something wrong in regards to the script. I checked the event viewer and I didn’t have any errors there.

Did you see the process executing on the remote machine right after you ran the command? Can you also check the Event Logs (eventvwr.msc) if there is any message from PowerShell? I believe PowerShell has a separate log file which you can view in Event Viewer. Hmmm…if there is no error message it might have already executed on the remote computer.
