in w2k client, how can I make all applications available to all domain users when the applications are installed on the local machine....???

the main problem im having is I need to have the user log on to install all applications for the user to have access to it.

If I loaded the applications with an admin username, and the regular user logs in all applications, shortcuts and stuff are not there. the worst one is outlook, outlook will try to reinstall again whenever a new user logs in asking for cd key and everything.. please help thanks

When you install an application as the administrator, take the Icons or group you have just created and insert it to the all users profile in order for it to be seen by all users that log into the machine.

The way to prevent outlook from asking for the CD every time you setup a new outlook profile is to select the option to "Run all from My Computer" when you are installing Outlook and it should go out to your hard drive and find the files it needs instead of asking you for the CD. If you do that when your installing Outlook, or any office application, then you should be able to prevent your users (and yourself) from every having to see that Office CD & CD Key ever again.

Hope this helps withsome of your problem.
