I have a group of users using win2k running office 2k in a workgroup. and now I have created a domain, when users logon to the domain and invoke their Off2k application, the Off2k will start to install. Is there any way to overcome this? at times itasks for the win2k CD, so what do I need to do inorder that my users once login into the domain and clicking on word2k can go to work straight away without waiting for the installation to complete.

Thanks

Hi David

What I did when I had the same problem, I installed all applications in a Image Packet and took all my applications from a CD loaded it up to a server and installed my Image Client from serveret(netboot Disk), Distributed my images and afterwords gave all users rights too access the Install folder on the server..

There is no way out of this thing from the Office2000 beside looking in the regestry settings and find the key...

Regards

Uffe

You can rename the workgroup to whatever then rename your domain to match the orginal workgroup. Also check the profiles on the desktop there should be 2 the old and the new one you might try setting the old profile to be there default.

you have to publish the O2K installation to the individual client pc.
This will allow all new profiles to adjust without reinstalling the programs.
two ways to do this.
SMS - remotely
Log on to the client as the local Administator account and run each Office application. After that any user who uses the pc will have a stable install of Office.
The Office 2000 Resource Kit will give you much better information about this.
