Hi
A while back, I was looking into Group Policy, and I realized that I could deploy Office XP using such. However, what I didn’t realize was that every time a user logs on to a PC for the First Time, Office will just display a Dialog Box stating that it hasn’t been installed for that user and then abruptly close (as opposed to just walking you through the setup process). Realizing that this was not desirable, I removed that Group Policy, but I am still haunted by it whenever someone wants to ‘Hot Desk’ (i.e., use a different PC if they’re working in a different Office).
I have since learnt that it is possible to create an automated setup file that can be used with Group Policy so that it will automatically install using our Product Key, but I have no way of knowing how to do this. I tried searching MS’ Knowledge Base, but didn’t have much success.
Can anyone point me to a site that will explain how I can create one of these automated setup files for Office? (And if anyone has any idea as to why we’re still plagued with this setup error every time someone hot-desks (despite no such Group Policy existing) I’d really appreciate your thoughts!
Thanks in advance.

P.S. We always get at least 4 1919 Errors (‘Error Configuring ODBC Data Source’ ) whenever we do install it or another component of Office. Any thoughts on that?
