Re: Office 2000 domain user setup problem for Outlook

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Hello Neil,

This is the same issue I posted on 5/12/05. The only solution I have found
is to elevate the domain user to local administrator and let the SR-1
install proceed. Once that is done, you can demote the domain user back to
the user group and Office apps run fine without the errors.

This is a less than perfect solution as it is time consuming, and must be
done for each user that is going to use the Office suite.

I hope someone has a better answer!
