Remove an Administrative Installation Point? KHauer 4/16/2007 6:34:03 PM Hi, We've got an Office 2003 Administrative Installation point on a server that's scheduled for migration/decommissioning. We'd like to remove the Administrative Installation point from that server, since we no longer deploy Office in that method (we include in the image when the workstations are built now). Is there a method for removing an Administrative Installation point, or can we simply decommission the server? Thanks, Kirk Hauer, CCNA, MCSE Superior Court of California

Gerry Hickman <gerry666uk[ at ]newsgroup.nospam> 4/17/2007 10:09:53 PM Hi, I've you uninstalled all Office 2003 clients that used to point to the AIP, the re-installed as client only, then you can just delete the AIP. What I do before deleting an AIP for any software product is run a scan of all HKCR Classes to see if any of them are pointing to an old AIP. I've not seen this with Office products, but have seen it with some non-Microsoft products. AIP is the superior technology, LIS is a joke. Is it true AIP won't be available for Office 2007?

The oNIP is created by copying one (or more) Office 2007 products into a folder on the server. The Local Installation Source (LIS) is no longer an optional item. It's a required feature on each box and is not supported as 'relocatable'. Setup is basically accomplished from the LIS. So the LIS can be precached/deployed ahead of time or as part of an image and setup then runs pretty much 'local'. http://microsoft.com/office/ork ============== <<"Gerry Hickman" <gerry666uk[ at ]newsgroup.nospam> wrote in message news:%234v2o0TgHHA.2396[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl...
