I am using the Custom Installation Wizard to upgrade from Office 2002 to
Office 2003 for 400 computers. We are running windows XP on all of the
computers in question. The installation is working fine, but I want to prompt
the users for his/her user name upon first launching Office 2003. The mst
file is working with some computer models but not all. The MST file is
configured using the setup properties:

ENTERPRISE_IMAGE=True
NOUSERNAME=True

The computers that it does not work on have the user name of Information
Technology and I can not find where Office is pulling this from. Can anyone
tell me where the name is being pulled from or any additional commands I can
use to make this upgrade consistent with the different computer models?

Thanks in advance for your help.
 
Being prompted for the username is standard MS Office behaviour on first run
for a new profile, there is nothing special needed. If the user has
pervioulsy run Office somewhere else and has a roaming profile then their
registry hive will already be populated and Office will not prompt. So
since you are upgrading, then they won't be prompted. I suggest you script
the information. Here is a link to a discussion group where they used a
vbscript to populate the fields from the information in the users' AD
logins.
