OFFXP: UserName and CompanyName Fields Not Set to Blank
This article was previously published under Q290167
When you install 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 problem occurs when you attempt to set the
UserName and
CompanyName properties to blank, either by using a command line, or by specifying the settings in the Setup.ini file. For example, if you use the following command line to start Office Setup
setup.exe USERNAME="" COMPANYNAME=""
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 on the command line, in the Setup.ini file, or in a transform (.mst) file. When you use these properties, they must be set to one (1). For example, if you use the following command line to start Office Setup
setup.exe NOCOMPANYNAME=1 NOUSERNAME=1
the
UserName and
CompanyName fields will be suppressed.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
