Hi,

I've tried to deploy office out to my network using Active Directory
Software installation.

I have my OUs as:

Main
|
|-- XP
|--Laptops
|
|----- DFS
|--Others....

So that DFS is a sub-ou of Laptops, and Laptops is a sub OU of XP.

Within XP OU, i define that Office should be installed via Published
method to Users.

In Laptops, I define it as Assigned to the Computer.

When I start my test PCs, they do seem to install office fully, as they
sit there for >10 mins on the "installing office" notice.

But when I start Word, etc, with no network cable in, they all want
access to the network drive for installing files.

Where have I gone wrong?

Adrian

Hi Adrian,

That is normal behavior for an Office installation done with a GPO. You can
either go to the workstations and do a full/complete install of Office or
use the Office 2000 Resource Kit wo make a custom MST that use use with your
GPO to push a complete install. I prefer the MST becasue you can configure
the installation settings including self-configuring Exchange settings.

Hmm... Thanks for that - its what i thought.

First question - whats an MST?
Is it the same as an MSI? I've setup Orca, and was thinking that way,
but not sure what to change
