Why MS office gathers information on every pc on network?
Hi, I just want to know why MS office gathers information on each and every
PC on the network for a single user?If user is working on one computer and logs off from ther and log in from another computer MS office gathers information and installs something. Can you tell me why it does that?and how to remove that process? |

Since you don't mention how you created this issues, I will guess that
you installed Office at all the machines, and so the first time a user logs onto a machine Office is setting up the users profile so that they may use the Office applications. You do know that each user has a profile on each machine and every they log onto, right?

Bob,
Yes! I've installed office from and admin install point (using the default MST) on all my lab computers. We're using Novell for clients to log onto the PCs which then grants the clients restricted user rights. What happens is that the first time a client logs onto a specific PC, the profile is loaded with ID info (like you stated), however, this takes some time (a couple of minutes) and is rather annoying. Moreover, no one student (client) uses the same PC all the time, which means that a student may have to deal with this nusiance of "Microsoft Office is Gathering information ...." etc. everytime they log onto a PC. To further complicate issues, we image our labs almost quarterly or more, which means that students have to put up with this alot. Any suggestions on how to keep Office from "gathering info" to setup the profile at all? Your help and advice is appreciated.

See joust in jest's reply. The other choice is to have the student
provide their own Laptop. Ken wrote: Bob, Yes! I've installed office from and admin install point (using the default MST) on all my lab computers.
