Hi Bob,
Thanks for the quick response. I applied the update to the clients
following the directions that came with the admin patch. For KB822035:
Application of patch to admin install:
msiexec /p \\[serverName]\Ofc_2000\Updates\Misc_Office\KB822035\Vbe6ff.msp
/a \\[serverName]\Ofc_2000\Disc_1\data1.msi SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb
Application of patch to clients:
msiexec /i \\[serverName]\Ofc_2000\Disc_1\data1.msi REINSTALL=ALL
REINSTALLMODE=vomu /qb
I took this directly from the MS page that describes how to apply the patch
and have followed the same procedure for patches in the past, all of which
have worked. Should the inspection tool have reported that the client had
been updated from the admin install? I suspect that may be the issue but am
unsure. I don't think the problem lies with the client configuration due to
the fact that the baseline machine sits in my office and I'm the only person
who logs in to it.
Again, thanks for the assistance.
