Office 2003 RIS / Group Policy Problems

Hi,

I hope someone might have some clues on this one, I've tried hard to find an
answer, but so far haven't managed.

I have a RIS Image, which has Office pre-installed in it. It gets deployed
to machines, and the machine is automatically assigned to an OU which has a
Group Policy that installs the same Office install that was built into the
image to start with.

The outcome is that Office removes itself, apart from Publisher... I have to
then go back into Add/Remove programs, and re-tick all the applications
(Word, etc).

Any ideas? The transform file in use specifies to leave old versions of
Office on there, and I've also tried it with upgrading previous versions,
but neither helps.

Obviously the fix is to reproduce the original Image without Office being
installed, but that would be very time consuming for what appears to be more
of a bug than anything.

(It's because the machine has a new name after the RIS to the name that the
Image was built with which is why AD thinks it's unmanaged and then
re-installs a managed install of Office).

Any ideas welcome, this has been annoying me for a year now and I've not
fixed it!

Thanks in advance for any replies,

Steve
