Removing SBCMSYNC.DLL error from 500+ machines

Hi everyone,

We are piloting a Office 2003 upgrade from Office 2000 and the only problem
we have so far is Outlook 2003. When a user starts Outlook, an error appears
like this:

'C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application
Data\Microsoft\AddIns\C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\SBCMSYNC.DLL'
is not a valid Office Add-in

I've done a bit of research and found that by deleting a registry key the
message will go away. I've hacked together a script that will delete the key
and want to integrate it into our logon script. It's not working though and I
think this is because the key is in the HKey_Current_User area. The script
runs OK when I am logged on as an administrator but not when I'm logged on as
a standard user.

The full path to the key is:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\SBCM.Addin.1

What I would like to know is:

1. Is using a script the best way to remove this key
2. How do I get the script to work as part of our logon script
3. Is there a way to remove registry enteries using the CIW for Office 2003

I'm new to scripting so don't be too harsh!

Hopefully someone can shine a bit of light on this for me which would be
much appreciated.

Thanks,
Steven.
