office 2003 deployment via Group Policy
Posted by Gadi on February 19th, 2005


I try to deploy office 2003 via group policy, I create a new package and link
it to the mst file that i created.
The office was been installed in the pc's but for some reason the setup
wasn't save all user definitions (I checked only in outlook).
When i deploy the office via command line (link to the mst file at
setup.ini) all user definitions was saved.
How can it be?

Thnx

Hi Gadi,

It can depend on the options you're referring to.
Some of the installation functionallity of
MS Office deployment comes from running
Setup.exe, which GPO bypasses.
