Steve is correct. On Office2000 you must use a custom transform to install
under Terminal Services. Otherwise when the user runs an office app, the
app decides it is not installed correctly and brings back up the MSI
installer to repair.
Microsoft took care of this in the OfficeXP installation, however it is
probably still a good practice to use a customer transform.

I had a similar problem with W2K/WXP machines, specially with outlook.
Everytime a different user logged on to one of these machines the outlook
setup wizard would come up, and I would get a call.
To solve this, I used the Custom Installation Wizard in the Office Resource
Kit to create a MST file that automatically configures Outlook correctly. I
then reinstalled Office on all the W2K/WXP machines using the MST file. Now
any user can logon to the PC and go straight into Outlook.
Other default settings are set using .reg files in their logon script.
Hope this helps in some way,
Steve

Hi there guys,
Up to now, I was setting up every user on their machine the first time they
log in by hand... Its becoming a pain to do that, so Im checking out options
on how to automate that on windows xp machine in a domain.
Any suggestions and tips on where to get some info on that would be welcome.
Thanks a lot!!!
Ps: no suggestions on the printer issue?
Regards,
Eduardo Herrmann de Freitas
