Hi, hope someone can help. Just started a new job where I'm supporting Office 2003, as opposed to Office XP which I have a bit more experience of!
I'm building a desktop image to deploy through Ghost/Sysprep. Problem is the iamge I'm working with just has Office 2003 installed on the master image through putting the CD in, and clicking next, next, next. When a user logs on to the PC,it doesn't ask them for their name and initials the first time they open word, excel, or any office apps.
Is there a quick way to fix this please?
I hope there is. I remember back in the day, woth Office Xp having to create an office profile file, use that to create an mst file, then deploy office silently using the mst file, if I remember correctly (I may ahve some of these filenames wrong, I haven't done it for a few years!)
I'm pushed for time, so I'd rather not do it the proper wat! Is there anyway I can use group policy to prompt users for this information, or a reg key I can delete that will start the process?
looking at the Office 2003 reskit, MS seems to have changed the process slightly (as they do) from the Office XP days.

Many thanks in advance.
