Office Online Server unattended setup

Scenario:
1) you need to install Office Online Server as a part of process (Powershell script or DSC configuration)
2) you cannot use system (C:) drive. I.e. OOS must be installed on, e.g. D: drive

Solution: use “config.xml”.

Config.xml example:

<Configuration>
    <Logging Type="verbose" Path="d:\tmp" Template="OOServerSetup(*).log"/>
    <Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" />
    <INSTALLLOCATION Value="d:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\"/>
    <Setting Id="USINGUIINSTALLMODE" Value="0"/>
    <Setting Id="SETUPTYPE" Value="CLEAN_INSTALL"/>
    <Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="Never"/>
</Configuration>

Command-line run example:

setup.exe /config d:\config.xml

Powershell script example:

Start-Process "d:\source\OOS\setup.exe" -ArgumentList "/config d:\config.xml" -Wait

Powershell DSC configuration example:

include ” <INSTALLLOCATION Value=”d:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\”/>”
into “d:\source\OOS\Files\SetupSilent\config.xml”, so when your LCM will run

        OfficeOnlineServerInstall OOSInstall
        {
            Ensure = "Present"
            Path = "d:\Distrs\OOS\setup.exe"
        }

by default “d:\source\OOS\Files\SetupSilent\config.xml” will be used.
