Changing and Administrative Install point PJ ALex 14.07.2006 19:46:03 We have remote offices on a slow network line that we have installed Office 2003 by CD's created from an Office install point on our server. I need to redirect the pcs that have Office to a permenant administrative install point on a new server. How can I change the desktops to point to the new install point without reinstalling Office again on all the pcs? Is there a registry change what could do this? Thank you for your help.

You can change the Admin Point location but to change from a CD installation to an Office Admin Point you'd probably recache the installations. For Office 2003 a CD install would use the \MSOCache folder to store the CD content on the local system. With an Office Admin Point the choice was between using the \MSOCache basis *or* doing a customized install. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/889496/en-us?FR=1 You could copy the CD to a network folder and point to that location as the installation source instead of the original CD drive or Method 2 here may work http://support.microsoft.com/kb/267362/en-us?FR=1 ========= <<"PJ ALex" <PJALex[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:443C7C8E-C5AA-4146-B39A-787082BD2079[ at ]microsoft.com...
