The script checks all computers in a given group at startup to see if Office 2007 is installed. Office 2007 will be automatically and silently installed on all machines without existing installations

Resolution:
1. Start the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in. To do this, click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Users and Computers. 2.

Under Computer Configuration, select Windows Settings. 5. In the right hand pane, double-click Scripts(Startup/Shutdown).6. Right-click Startup, then click Properties.7. In the Startup Properties dialog box, click Show Files.
Note: By default, the Startup script is located in the following location on a domain controller:%SystemRoot%\SYSVOL\sysvol\\Policies\\MACHINE\Scripts\Startup
8. In the window that opens, right-click point to New, and the click Text Document.
9. Name the file 'Install_Off2007.bat'. 10. Right-click on the Install_Off2007.bat file and select Edit.11. Edit the file as follows:
@ECHO OFFREM --- Check for an existing installation of Microsoft Office 2007REM --- For a list of Office 2007 GUIDs, see KB928516REM --- Description of the numbering scheme for product code GUIDs in 2007 Office suites and programsREM --- http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928516 if exist "%systemdrive%\MSOCache\All Users\*" goto _EndREM --- Install Microsoft Office 2007\Setup.exe /adminfile \.msp REM --- End of the script:_End
12. Save the file and close the window you were working in. 13. In the Startup Properties dialog box, click Add. 14. In the 'Add a Script' dialog box, click Browse. 15. Select the Install_Off2007.bat file and click Open. 16. Click OK, Apply, and then OK. 17. Close the Group Policy snap-in, click OK, and then quit the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in. When the target computers are restarted, Office 2007 will be automatically installed.
By default, the log file from the installation will be created in the machine specific temp directory (%windir%\temp), but can be redirected via the Logging element of the config.xml file. For example:
\Setup.exe /config \Config.xml /adminfile \Custom.MSP
In order to use a config.xml file, the command line from the above batch file would need to include the "/config" switch and a patch to the config.xml file. For example:

The config.xml file should also be configured so that no UI or modal dialogs are displayed. To so this, a line similar to the following would be used:

2. Locate the following registry subkey:
   
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
   Note On a computer that is running a 64-bit version of Windows, locate the following registry subkey instead:
   
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall


3. On the File menu, click Export, type UninstallKey01, and then click Save.


4. Under the Uninstall subkey that you located in step 2, click each subkey, and then determine whether the subkey has the following value assigned to it:
   
   
   
   • Name: UninstallString
   
   
   • Data: file_name path\Office Setup Controller\Setup.exe path
     
     Note In this example, file_name is a placeholder for the name of an installation program, and path is a placeholder for the file path.


5. If the subkey contains the name and the data that are described in step 4, click Delete on the Edit menu. Otherwise, go to step 4.


6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you locate and then delete every subkey that matches the name and the data that are described in step 4.


7. Close Registry Editor.

Step 6: Restart the computer

Restart the computer. If the uninstall was successful, you are finished and can now reinstall the 2007 Microsoft Office system if you want. If the uninstall was not successful, go to the "Next Steps" section.
