Office XP with manditory profiles

Posted: 07 Jan 2005 09:00 AM PST

No Joy. I installed the tool. Then I granted the user I log on as to
create the profile administrative rights. Set the profile so it's not
mandatory. I logged on, ran the Office applications, entered the user
name and made setting changes. Then I logged off, rescinded the admin
rights, renamed the profile directory and dat file so it's mandatory
again. Logged on and when trying to start Word I get the installer
progress bar then Word opens and asks for the user name and initials. So
frustrating! I can't figure out what I'm missing here.

Where is the Office Tool Bar in office 2003?

Posted: 06 Jan 2005 01:39 PM PST

Another NSF. If you'd spent five minutes searching or RTFH you'd have found
your answer. The OSB is obsolete. Reason? Office 2003 only installs on three
operating systems (2000 (SP3+), XP and 2003) and they all have innate
functionality that renders it so. You can create a new toolbar (on the
standard Windows toolbar) that performs the same function. I have *never*
used the OSB - ever and I've been using Office (or its components) for over
15 years.

1) Open the drive Office is installed on.
2) Navigate to the Office folder (Usually C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office 11)
3) Open another instance of your same drive and create a new folder in
the root
4) Name the folder Office and drag the Office executables to it and
shortcuts will automatically be created. Do this for as many apps as your
version of Office contains (I have Pro, and I have added Visio and Project,
so I have 9 icons in that folder).
5) Create a new folder within that one and name it 'Tools'.
6) To this one add anything that isn't a main Office program (I'm talking
about the Language Settings, Document Scanning, etc that isn't a main
application).
7) Right click the Toolbar and select 'create new toolbar'
8) Navigate to the folder you have just created and click 'OK' You will
now have a new toolbar that will perform the same functions as the OSB.

Can not patch Office XP

Posted: 06 Jan 2005 10:10 AM PST

Hi Brandon,

Thanks for the information. According to the MS web site SP3 is
supposed to included all previous patches. At least that's the way I
read it.

I will try it your way since I have not had any luck and was about to
give up Office XP.


Thanks,

Charles

How can I install Office 97 on Windows 2000 system?

Posted: 06 Jan 2005 12:45 AM PST

Thanks, I've already installed it, but it doesn't work correctly. On Windows
98, it used to put links in the start menu. It doesn't in Windows 2000. In
the programs menu, instead of having a link to Office, there is a link to
Office Setup. Also, everytime I start Windows, my dialer pops up. I can't
seem to tell it not to do so.

installing upgrade on a new computer

None whatsoever. Your upgrade licence is now void. You see, when you use a
product to qualify for an upgrade the two products become inseparable and
one cannot be sold or given away without the other. If you no longer have
the *original* qualifying product, then you do not qualify for the upgrade.
If you want Office on the new system you must purchase the full version.

Running Office 2000 & 20003

Posted: 05 Jan 2005 11:21 AM PST

You might want to give Virtual PC a try then. There is a 45 day trial
download available on Microsoft's site. The beauty of that solution is that
you do not need to shutdown and restart the Windows session to have access
to the other version of Office.

No need to re-post. Just explain in more detail what problems you are
having. Office2K runs fine on Win2K. We need to know the errors you are
seeing and any errors showing up in the Event Logs.

Re-installing Office XP Standard on a New Computer

You tell the OP to be careful not to break licence agreements when you have
told them to do precisely that! No, "any" will *not* work - the EULA is very
clear on that. If the OP no longer has the *ORIGINAL* (and only the
original) qualifying product then the upgrade licence is null and void - you
see, once you use a product to qualify for an upgrade the QP licence is
amalgamated into the upgrade licence and, essentially, they become one and
the same licence. If you give away/sell the QP you must also give away/sell
the upgrade with it.

Hi,

Great, I had looked in the root of the CD. I did not think to look in

Path to Personal Folders (Outlook)

Posted: 03 Jan 2005 11:27 PM PST

I have the Problem that, we have 15'000 Clients. The Path to the Users PST
Files is in MyDocuments. The My Documents Folder ist redirected to Server
Share (\\server??\userhome$\user????\).

Wenn we must change a Server in a location we must move the Userhome
directorys to another sever. (The name of the server change) or a User change
the location we must move the Userhome to another server.

The Problem is Outlook save the UNC Name to the PST File
(\\server??\userhome$\user????\otlook\outlook.pst) Wehen the servername
change outlook d'ont find the File.
outlook.pst is not the Problem i find the Path in Registry, the Problem are
the Personla Folders that the users can creat self. I can not find the
Registry entry, .ini File or what ever.

I need a Script that can run on Client and change this Paths.

Sorry for my English i speek (Swiss)German ;-)

Thanks

The Outlook Version is 2003!
