Office 2003 Basic won't publish via group policy
I am trying to publishing Office 2003 Basic with a Windows 2000 Server Group
Policy object but it is not working. I assigned the object to the domain, verified that the UNC to the MSI file is correct (it runs when you type it into start-run), and also made sure that no override was set and that it was not disabled. I also tried placing the computers in a separate OU in the same manner with a link to the same GPO. The XP Pro clients show no indication of Office 2003 Basic in All Programs nor on the desktop nor in Add/Remove Programs. I refreshed group policy, waited 15 minutes, cut and pasted the working UNC directly from the Start-Run box into the group policy path, all to no avail. Is this supported and/or what could I be doing wrong? Thank you! |

MS Office 2003 Basic edition is an OEM only (to be
preinstalled with new PCs) edition and usually doesn't work from an Office Admin Point that would have an Enterprise/Volume license key installation. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...402011033.aspx You may want to check with the OEM system builder folks who have separate tools than those used for a corporate deployment of Office http://microsoft.com/oem You may also want to check with the folks in the Desktop Deployment newsgroup (link below). ======== "MCSE" wrote in message ...
