Deployment GPO for Office 2007 Professional Plus "SunRace" <sunracesuraj[ at ]rediffmail.com> 5/6/2007 7:21:00 AM Hello, I have configured Deployment GPO for Office 2007 Professional Plus. I have pated the configuration file here with. What is happening is when I reboot a workstation which has office installed already and is under the scope of this GPO, first thing happens is GPO uninstalls the previous office installation and waits. I have to reboot the workstation and then again GPO installs office and there after any reboot nothing happens. My question is; is there any way by which I can prevent uninstall of already installed Office after moving of workstations under the scope of the GPO? After installation it keeps asking for product Key. <Configuration Product="ProPlus"> <!-- <Display Level="None" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="no" AcceptEula="yes" /> --> <!-- <Logging Type="standard" Path="%temp%" Template="Microsoft Office Professional Plus Setup(*).txt" /> --> <!-- <PIDKEY Value="ABCND" /> --> <!-- <USERNAME Value="Administrators" /> --> <!-- <COMPANYNAME Value="MyCompany" /> --> <!-- <INSTALLLOCATION Value="%programfiles%\Microsoft Office" /> --> <!-- <LIS CACHEACTION="CacheOnly" /> --> <!-- <SOURCELIST Value="\\someserver\Technology\OFFICE12 Silent\OFFICE12;\\someserver\Technology\OFFICE12 Silent\OFFICE12" /> --> <!-- <DistributionPoint Location="\\someserver\Technology\OFFICE12 Silent\OFFICE12" /> --> <!-- <OptionState Id="ACCESSFiles" State="Local" Children="force" /> --> <!-- <OptionState Id="EXCELFiles" State="Local" Children="force" /> --> <!-- <OptionState Id="OUTLOOKFiles" State="Local" Children="force" /> --> <!-- <OptionState Id="PPTFiles" State="Local" Children="force" /> --> <!-- <OptionState Id="WORDFiles" State="Local" Children="force" /> --> <!-- <OptionState Id="XDOCSFiles" State="Local" Children="force" /> --> <!-- <OptionState Id="SHAREDFiles" State="Local" Children="force" /> --> <!-- <OptionState Id="TOOLSFiles" State="Local" Children="force" /> --> <!-- <OptionState Id="OptionID" State="Local" Children="force" /> --> <!-- <Setting Id="Reboot" Value="IfNeeded" /> --> </Configuration>

Office 2000 and 2003 can both be un-installed without needing a reboot. I'm fairly sure you can also install Office 2007 without a reboot in most configurations.
