Hi,
The GPO's are physically stored in the SYSVOL\domain.com\Group Policy Folder
on all the DC's (replicated). If you know the GUID and know for sure that it
is the "bad" one then you can delete it there.
This may be a different issue though. GP's don't apply unless the objects
are within the OU that the GP is on. If the GP is not linked to the OU it
won't apply.
They may have ticked "uninstall software when it falls out of scope of this
GP" which means that IF the GPO doesn't exist then the software is
uninstalled. Best bet is to create another Software Package for Office 2003
to reinstall and make sure the above isn't ticked.
Cheers,
Lara
