Hello everyone

I recently acquired a sys-admin position with a small firm. The network
consists of 10 clients running Windows XP and a Windows SBS
2003/Exchange. Each Windows XP client is running office XP apart from
one which is office 2003.

Numerous employees are complaining about the amount of spam being sent.
I have created rules within Outlook 2002 to combat this but they
don't seem to be working...
Enabling the spam filter on the single client that runs outlook 2003
works

The owner said that allot of software (office discs) were stolen 6-12
months after their date of purchase. What are the options of upgrading
to office 2003? Is it possible to purchase one office 2003 package with
10 licenses then perform a network installation??? Or install on
demand??

How is it usually done

thanks

Your best bet is go for Volume licensing scheme from Microsoft.

Microsoft® Volume Licensing programmes offer organisations of all sizes
several cost-effective ways to buy and manage multiple software licences
– for as few as two desktop personal computers.

I suggest read it here:
http://www.microsoft.com/uk/office/howtobuy/editions.mspx

If Outlook 2003 is all you want then clearly you hould buy 10 licenses
of Outlook 2003 under VL.

You normally get one master CD and one key which can be used on 10 PCs
(or on any number of system for which you have paid). It usually works
out about £99 (UK pounds) per PC for an enterprice version of Office
2003 which includes everything except Onenote 2003, Frontpage 2003 or
Visio 2003. I suggest read the Ms website for further info.

Installation can be done from network to make it easy for you.
