Annoying MS Office Problem when Logging on.
I have primarily Windows 2000/XP workstations with Office 2000 or 2003
installed. When a new user logs into the workstation, opens a MS Office program, the system always asks for the dang Office CD to complete (they are not administrators either and I won't give them admin rights). Why Microsoft!?! Why??? I end up having to create a standard profile with Office, copy it to the default profile, and then I have to delete everyones user profiles. Now they will get the updated default profile and they will not be prompted for the CD. It sucks when you have a lot of workstations, a lot of users (with there own profile preferences), and want to upgrade them to the latest version of Office. Not only that, when you add Service Packs, it asks for that dang CD again. I deployed a few Office Service Packs but stopped when everyone was prompted for the CD. We have a corporate license and it sucks because of this very problem. Come on Microsoft! Anyone know how to easily fix this without the hassle? Thanks |
