Hi

Hope someone can help...

We've recently upgraded our (small) office network to Windows 2000 (from Windows 98 on PCs and SBS 4.5 on the server). We opted to use roaming profiles on the new setup but I'm now encountering problems.

The main issue is that when a user logs on to any PC they haven't used previously (since the upgrade) they are asked to reinstall MS Office, despite the fact that Office is already installed on the PC. I presume this is something to do with the way the profiles have been set up.

Can anyone give me an idea of what I need to change so that people can just log on to a PC without having to reinstall Office? (We are using Office 2000).

Thanks
Ian
 
if you've upgraded the machines from 98, as apposed to a clean install then it may be an idea to reinstall the most commonly used apps, always an idea to format and install a fresh copy of the o/s. saves a lot of hassle in the long term!
