We have set up an MSP file using the OCT tool. When a user runs Outlook for
the first time they are confronted with 3 messages (I wish you could paste
here!).
The first has the heading "Welcome to the 2007 Microsoft Office System" -
"Privacy Options". There are 3 tick boxes here and the first, "Get online
Help" is ticked by default. We want to change this default and not have the
message come up.
The second has the heading "Microsoft Office Outlook" and says
Windows Desktop Search is not currently installed or not up to date. Outlook
will not be able to provide fast search results when using the new Instant
Search functionality unless this Windows component is installed. Please
contact your administrator." There is a tick box to "Do not show this
message again". We would like it to not show this message at all. A note
to this, using OCT we have set "Prevent installation prompts when Windows
Desktop Search component is not present" to "Enabled" under "Features -
Modify user settings - Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 - Tools | Options... -
Preferences - Search Options".
The third also has the heading "Microsoft Office Outlook" and says
"Outlook, Windows Explorer, and other applications save lists of RSS Feeds
that you subscribe to. The Common Feed List in Microsoft Windows maintains
one synchronised list of RSS Feeds. Do you want your RSS Feeds in Outlook to
be synchronized with the Common Feed List?" The default is "Yes". We would
like to have it not come up with this one too and just set the "Sync RSS
Feeds to the Common Feed List" option in "Tools - Options - Other - Advanced
Options..." to ticked. This option is not available in the OCT.
Anyone have any ideas how we can achieve these things?
Cheers, Garth

Hi all
I'm not receiving any responses to my questions here and wondered if anyone
knows of a better location to get answers to issues regarding rolling out
Office 2007 unattended using the OCT.
BTW, another issue I haven't mentioned in previous postings is that the OCT
help doesn't work if you are running OCT from a network installation point,
you have to run setup /admin directly from the cd to get the help working.
Regards, Garth

I'm running into the same problem, except with Project/Visio/Publisher. Why
is M$ so fast to rush into RTM releases when there is core problems that
affect sysadmins?!?

I totally agree Nick. So obvious there's been very little effort put into the
OCT when the help wont even work unless you run it straight from cd! It's a
crying shame there isn't anywhere near the focus put on the tools required to
implement the product as there is on the product itself (nothing new, but
particularly disappointing in this release). What's even sadder is we can't
get any support on it!
Battling on...

Maybe it's time to invest in Google software products!
