Deploy Office 2k3 OEM w/ SBS

Is it possible to install Office 2k3 OEM using SBS 2003's assign application
feature? I would like to have office deployed and then when a user is
prompted fir the cd key.

I attempted to create a administrative share using setup.exe /a, but got a
error that /a is only supported by a enterprise edition. So I just copied
the cd to a share.

Then using the ORK tools I created a MST file using STDP11N.msi, then
configured SBS to run \\server\share\office\setup.exe
TRANSFORM=\\server\share\office\office.mst

The installer launches but then exits. The application log on the
workstation gives a MSIINSTALLER event 1013 "Product Microsoft Office Small
Business Edition 2003 - You Have not entered a valid product key"

Is is possible to do this? I am basically trying to recreate what OEM's do.

Thanks
