administrative installation point

[Gerry Hickman]

Hi,

In general you can force a new UNC source path into the registry by
doing RECACHE and REINSTALL; for example pretending to re-apply a small
patch to all client boxes will also fix this path, but it may be much
easier to simply change the path in all locations of all registries (if
you know what you're doing).

One way to test it, is bring your new server (NAS) on-line, hack one
client box to the new UNC path, then try adding/removing a feature (e.g.
equation editor). If it installs correctly you are half way there...

Thanks for your answer.
So I just have to remotly execute setupse.exe /REINSTALLMODE=vomus or should
I use CIW adding a new line REINSTALLMODE with the value vomus?

So if i understand you correctly, you want the existing installation on
you
computers
point to the new network path containing the administrative installation?

In this case you could try this:

Run the installation again with this property in the command line:

REINSTALLMODE=vomus

This triggers the recache and reinstallation so it should point to your
new
network path.

Hi,

I'm using ghost to deploy my computers. Office 2000 is installed on it
and
the installation is made from NAS server.
My problem is that I change this NAS and I want my computers to use the
path
to the share containing office 2k.

Unsuccessfully, I tried to use Custom Maintenance Wizard.
So, what can I do?

Thanks for you´re help
