Workstations Ask For Office CD

S

Steve

We recently installed a new Windows 2003 Server network. The old network
server ran Windows Server 2000 which was disconnected from the new network.

After the new network took over, user workstations and shared workstations
started asking for the MS Office CD. I believe this was for ver 2000 and/or
XP. Office 2003 is fine. My predecessor plugged the old Windows Server 2000
back into the network and that ended the requests for the Office CD.

I want the old server off the network. Can anyone advise me how to resolve
the issue of user computers wanting the Office CD? But, they look for the
old server for this information.

I believe this was for ver 2000 and/or XP. Office 2003 is fine.

Which other one is installed aside from Off2003. Is it Off 2000 or Off XP?

Hi Steve,

If MS Office was installed from an Office Admin Point on a server then it
stored the server name as part of the value and the MS Installer is
basically expecting to find a connection to its installation source for
feature repair etc. This article may be helpful to you.
