Brief history
I have around 100 W2K professional PC's logging into a Novel network & placed into departmental workgroups, all PC's have Office 2K professional loaded & giving no problems.
The company have now purchase a W2K server and are about to start to migrate users over.

The Problem is that once a PC has been joined to the domain and a standard user logs in, I get the following error message when trying to run any of the Office products.
"Error 1706. No vaild source could be found for product Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1 Professional. The windows installer cannot continue."

I do not get this problem if I login as administrator or if the user logs in locally to the PC.

This is probably something simple but it has me foxed, any help gratefuly received.
 
Create a remote installation folder for O2K on the server and copy the installation files from the O2K CD to the folder. Create a GP for all machines in the domain and assign the O2K msi package in the remote installation folder to the User Configuration > Software Settings > Software Installation. When users login the package will be pushed down to their profile on their machine. Users will need administrative privileges to install the O2K files.
