Office 2000 Problems for users designated "Domain User"

[Patrick Reid]

Office was installed on each machine individually when they were in a
peer-to-peer workgroup. Now they are in a domain with Samaba 2.2.2 running
on RH 7.1 (kernel 2.4.10) as the PDC.

<Deep breath> I guess un-installing Office and then re-installing is better
than trying same for Samba; I'll take a crack at that.

Thanks a bunch.

Patrick

I haven't followed this entire thread, so this may have already been
addressed, but...

Is it possible that you INSTALLED the applications while the Users were in
the wrong group, and now the permissions are messed up?

In other words, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling Office after
fixing the group memberships?

Just a thought...
