Office 2003 profile

[Guest kerrymoralee9280]

We have Office 2003 installed on our network. The problem is, every time a pupil logs on they have to sit while it "installs" when they load it. It then asks them to give their name etc.

 

I know why this is. It's because we dont use roaming profiles (recommendation from LEA), but how can I change it (if possible) so it doesnt do this anymore (without switching to roaming profiles).

 

XP on 2000 DC.

 

Thanks,

We use a Mandatory profile and it doesn't do it.

 

The only way I can think that might work without messing with profiles is a redirected Application Data folder, but I've never done that so...

When you make your mandatory profile, open office on the account you make the profile on, then use that as your profile, and that will then stop the install and configuration.
