Office 2003 New User Initials and Installer Problems

C

Chris

Hello,

I am trying to create a transform for a customized installation of Office
2003 onto Windows 200 and 2003 Servers. Every time a new user logs into a
server that has had Office 2003 installed using the transform as it currently
is, I am having two problems:

1) Windows Installer configures Office 2003 for each new user.
2) The new user is prompted for Name and Initials the first time a new user
runs any of the installed office products.

I'd like to make it so that the Installer does not run for each new user,
and so that no user gets prompted for Username or Initials.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Chris

Thanks Anne.

Unfortunately, this did not resolve the issue. The Profile Wizard sounds
like it might do the trick, though. I will return with results, in case
anyone is interested.

Thanks again.
