Hi Tom,
Thanks for your reply and the detail information about how you fixed the
issue. I am glad to hear that the problem has been fixed after extending
the Group Policy scripts time out setting (it is not related to the account
permission as the policy is in computer startup).
If you have any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to
contact me. It is always my pleasure to be of assistance.
Have a nice day!
Best regards,
Emily Lin

| Hi Emily,
|
| Thanks for your reply. I have done some further testing and can confirm
the
| following:
|
| The computers where installation failed were older computers and took
about
| 20 minutes to install Office 2007. Logging on as a standard user or as an
| administrator makes no difference. The installaion runs smoothly for the
| first 10 minutes until the time out for GP logon scripts is reached. From
| this point on you get a few errors in the event log saying that office
has
| not installed correctly.
|
| Setting the time out to longer fixed the problem. (Computer
| Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/Scripts/Maximun wait time
for
| Group Policy scripts) I set it to 2400 seconds to be safe as another
older
| computer I tested it on took 30 minutes to install.
|
| With the above setting, Office installed without problem even if no one
logs
| on to the computer.
