Outlook deployment

Problem:

On a clients machine, Outlook attempts to reinstall on every reboot. If the
original client CD is inserted, then a wrong disc message appears, if I
point to the server copy, same problem. Any ideas?

The client previously had the correct version of outlook installed, but the
server was stolen, a new server acquired, and this problem has existed ever
since.

During the installation of the replacement server, outlook did not get
installed - no idea why (see below) even though I did the install. It just
seemed to skip over that step. To 'remedy' this I copied the issue CD down
to the clientapps folder, but of course I have no idea where to put the CD
key. Could this be related? How do I fix this?

FYI: SBS2K was deployed with a minor problem: the automated install claimed
that the system volume was not an NTFS volume (which it was) so after
searching the KB and trying things, I manually did a dcpromo then re-ran the
SBS setup and all appeared "OK" (obviously not). The system volume is a RAID
1 drive on SATA.

TIA, Tim

You could do an administrative install of Outlook. That way you only have to
provide the key once. Setup /a

Duh, Thanks.
Last I used an Admin install was with a DEC Alpha file server....
