What we've found is that if you want to upgrade, you can't have it remove the previous version, otherwise there is little to nothing left to actually upgrade. Of course, then it becomes a true upgrade and you might have other "upgrade" related issues.
We've always removed the previous version and then deployed the next, and they will happen in succession if you do them in the right order. If you do the deployment using security groups, you can actually have both packages deployed at once with each one denying the other to install (based on matching groups). Then, switch the group membership of the machines, gpupdate and reboot and the remove/install process all happens all at once. -Bonnie From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 05, 2008 10:17 AM To: Active Directory Admin Issues Subject: Office 2007 GPO Running Windows Server 2003, pushing out Office 2007. Users currently have Office 2003. Want to un-install Office 2003 and push out Office 2007. On the Office 2007 group policy setup, software settings, software installation, on the properties of the group policy, upgrade tab, there is a setting to select a group policy that can be un-installed with this GP. I select the group policy for Office 2003 to be un-installed. The group policy un-installs Office 2003 ok, but does not run the Office 2007 group policy correctly. I can remove the Office 2003 group policy from the OU, which un-installs the app. Then enable the Office 2007 GP and it installs correctly. Would like to be able to do it in one step. Any suggestions?
