Upgrade from Office 4.2 to Office 2000

[JH24]

We are currently just about to upgrade and entire domain with to Office 2000, unfortuantly this has to be done quite soon and has to be done all at once.

The Servers having the following on them at the moment.

NT4 Terminal Server (SP6)
Citrix Metaframe 1.8 or XP
Office 4.2 with Outlook 97
TAM for Windows 6.2i

Can anyone please point me to documentation or any known problems with doing this sort of upgrade.
At the moment I am just trying to find as much information out as possible.

Thanks
James

HI,

Try to create Image file using sysdiff.exe this automate your process.

1. download sysdiff.exe from MS site
2. by typing this command take snap of your system
"d:\sysdiff\sysdiff /snap /log:d:\sysdiff\oldsnap.log d:\sysdiff\oldsnp.img"
note "if you are copying sysdiff.exe to d:\sysdiff folder."
3.then after this finished install office200 on that pc
4.then type this command
"d:\sysdiff\sysdiff /diff /log:d:\sysdiff\diff.log d:\sysdiff\imagesnp.img d:\sysdiff\imagedif.img"

this command will create the image what you have installed.

keep the image on your server and share that folder.
and then you can apply these images on local pcs

x:\sharename\sysdiff /apply /m x:\sharename\imagename.img

this will install the software.
