Using Ghost images

[bdj]

If I make an image of any of the following OSs, NT4.0, W2k, or XP, with Office 2k loaded, the first time I open the administrators login, I'm OK. But if I add a user, and then open that user on the new image, Office 2k wants the install disks / cds.

Any way around this?

Did you install the users before you made the images? I guess im confused what exactly you backed up and what exactly you are doing with the image once reinstalled

The image is to be distributed to different workstations as a new install. Then when a new user logs on, either as a standalone, or network system, it's ready to go. The problem is that MS OFFICE2k wants the install disks for each new user on that workstation.

When you installed office did you do a full (complete) installation? If you did, when a new user logs on and launches word it will go through the profile creation but thats it, it should not prompt for the CD's because its all installed on the hard drive.
