HELP! I deployed Office 2k3 via Group Policy incorrectly the first time...
I copied the contents of the CD to a network share, made a transform and
deployed it that way. Now I need to deploy Access 2003 (the original
deployment skipped that, we use Access 97). I figured I should correct the
error in my ways, and do it right this time by doing an administrative
installation, and this way I can patch at will.
So, I create the admin installation point, and created a transform to go
with that (configuring it to remove old versions of Word, Excel, Outlook,
etc and told it to install Word, Excel, Outlook, Access and configured the
options I wanted). I created the policy (Assigned to Computer) with the
transform, and took a computer of typical setup, and moved it into the new
OU with new policy. Rebooted and saw "Removing managed software Microsoft
Office 2003 Professional..." and then it changed to "Installing managed
software...." Looked good and fine. Log in, and it took away the other
Office apps (Word, Excel, Outlook). The only thing I'm left with on the
Start menu is Access 2003. It did remove Access 97 as I had hoped, but all
the other apps too! I must be doing something wrong. Any help would be
appreciated... they want to go ahead with the upgrade to Access 2003 within
the next few weeks.... ack!!
tia!
