user name prompt after office 2003 install

S

spectrum48k

I'm installing office 2003 on a domain with a customized mst file, created
from office Resource Kit. After the installation no matter who logs on, they
will always get prompted to enter a user name and initials when opening,
word, powerpoint etc. for the first time.

Why is the option not available in the mst file creation? Outlook seem to be
able to setup automatically with %username%.

We do not want our domain users to have this option.

Many thanks

Spectrum.

Spectrum48k,

I am installing Office 2003 using a custom .mst file created with the CIW,
and I am having the opposite problem as you. :) I would like for Office
2003 to prompt the user to enter a username and initials as we use document
tracking features and it always just has the company name for the "Author" on
all Office documents. I have tried installing with the .mst and without the
..mst and everytime, it does not prompt the user to enter username and
initials.

If anyone has any suggestions, please help.

Thanks Bob! That is exactly the information I was hunting for. I also
noticed that when NOUSERNAME is not defined anywhere, and a user starts an
Office application for the first time (after logging in and creating a user
profile for the first time), it will prompt for the username.

I appreciate the link!
