Hello All, I have been banging my head against the wall for about two weeks on this. I deployed Office 2003 via GP and an AIP back in the summer. I ran into a problem that SP1 solved so I decided to do it. I wrote a batch file of which the contents are below: set log=/lV*+ \\mydomain\zInstalls\updatelog.txt set admin=\\mydomain\zInstalls set msiexec=msiexec /p set adminupdate=\\mydomain\AdminUpdate\Office2003SP1 REM OFFICE Pro %msiexec% %adminupdate%\MAINSP1ff.msp /a %admin%\Office2003Pro\PRO11.MSI /qb+ SHORTFILENAME=1 %log% %msiexec% %adminupdate%\OWC11SP1ff.msp /a %admin%\Office2003Pro\OWC11.MSI /qb+ SHORTFILENAME=1 %log% REM %msiexec% %admin%\Office2003Pro\PRO11.MSI /qb+ /p %adminupdate%\MAINSP1ff.msp SHORTFILENAMES=1 %log% REM %msiexec% %admin%\Office2003Pro\OWC11.MSI /qb+ /p %adminupdate%\OWC11SP1ff.msp SHORTFILENAMES=1 %log% REM OFFICE Standard %msiexec% %adminupdate%\MAINSP1ff.msp /a %admin%\Office2003Standard\Std11.MSI /qb+ SHORTFILENAME=1 %log% %msiexec% %adminupdate%\OWC11SP1ff.msp /a %admin%\Office2003Standard\OWC11.MSI /qb+ SHORTFILENAME=1 %log% All went well, or so I thought. I put a brand new computer on the network, added it to the OfficeProComputers group in AD, rebooted, and watched as Windows starts the install and then quickly dies. Checking the event log it gives me this error. Event Type: Error Event Source: Application Management Event Category: None Event ID: 102 Date: 12/6/2004 Time: 7:57:09 AM User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Computer: MYCPU Description: The install of application Microsoft Office Professional 2003 Full from policy Office 2003 Installation failed. The error was : The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. I have googled and MSKnowlege based till my eyes poped out and I can't figure out what I did wrong. I've tried it on two other computers that had office 2003 preSP1 installed and it will remove the installation (because the cache is out of synch). I can't redeploy this untill I confirm that it is working correctly, so that's out of the question. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Norm
