"please wait while windows configures microsoft office professionaledition 2003" On roaming profiles
Hi,
I have a couple of teaching labs with highly restricted student use profiles. They can basically do nothing except use the shortcuts that are displayed on the desktop. Group policy deletes the cached copy of the roaming profile on logoff and prevents the profile changes from propogating back to the server. These machines have office 2003 professional edition on them and whenever a user logs in and opens any office application, word or excel for example, the setup box comes up saying "please wait while windows configures microsoft office professional edition 2003" and after thats done it asks for name and initials and then works. If the user logs off and logs back on it does the same thing again. The users are local administrators on the computers in order for a couple specialized applications to work so that should not be an issue. Any ideas on how I can stop this from coming up? It aparently confuses the students. Thanks! |

"please wait while windows configures microsoft office professiona
This happens because of the profile. Each time Office starts with a new
user, it has to go through a "Branding Process" which is what you are seeing. Try putting this text into a vbscript and putting into your login script. This will brand it for you. I am not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but give it a shot. Set objSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo") strUser = objSysInfo.UserName Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & strUser) Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application") objWord.UserName = objUser.givenName & " " & objUser.SN objWord.UserInitials = objUser.SamAccountName objWord.Quit Eric "Wingnut" wrote: Hi, I have a couple of teaching labs with highly restricted student use profiles.

Thanks!- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Great I will try that, however I have not used vbscript before, what extension would I give the text file I add this to or could I just add it to my already existing login.bat? thanks. |
