Setup for multiple users on one machine creates headaches

P

Peter Ellis

We are a small school in which more than one user uses Office 2000 on the
same machine. Each time a new user logs in and starts office, it requires
the CD and advanced rights to setup folders or something for this new user.
Unless the user has advanced rights, they will not be able to access the CD
to install whatever Office wants to install. I end up adding each user to
each new machine he or she logs into. In the past this was not too bad an
issue, but now, things are getting unmanageable.

What is Office doing here and how can I automate it?

Thanks for the response. I looked for the TravelPaper.doc on Microsoft's web

section and in the knowlege base. You have pointed me in the right
direction though. Thanks again.
