  27. Customisation

  28. Customisation Group Policy • .ADM files are installed as part of ORK • Also available as separate download • Import into Group Policy and modify as required • Note that GPO settings managed settings. Settings from Profile Wizard or CIW just set defaults

  29. Customisation Precedence: • Command Line Options override .INI settings which override .MST settings • Except – “Company Name in CIW (.MST) takes precedence over both command line and .INI settings

  30. Customisation Conflict Resolution: • Settings applied later override settings applied by previous methods • Order of application of settings: • .OPS inside .MST • .MST • Registry values in .MST • Profile Wizard when run during setup • Settings migrated from previous Office version • Settings from Profile Wizard or CMW post installation • Settings from Group Policies

  31. Customisation Best Practices: • Separate managed from unmanaged settings and document • Configure volatile settings late in the process (i.e. via command line, .INI file or .OPS file to be applied after setup • Put corporate templates on shared network location rather than on each PC. Use CIW to configure paths. • Configure security settings using GPOs

  32. Office Installation Options • Some basics • Resources • New installation features • Customisation • Maintenance • Putting it all together

  33. Maintenance • To change default settings • Use Profile Wizard to produce .OPS file or Custom Maintenance Wizard to produce .CMW file • <path>\proflwiz.exe /r MyConfig.ops /q • <path>\maintwiz.exe /c MyConfig.cmw • To prevent users changing options you set • Use Group Policy with Office.ADM files • Implementing Service Releases: • On distribution share use full file version ( e.g. Office2003SP1-kb842532-fullfile-enu.exe) • On client machines use the client update version (e.g. Office2003SP1-kb842532-client-enu.exe)
