So: A. I want to turn off the registration wizard during install, I understand this is do-able, across all users. http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Administration_Guide/Deactivating_Registration_Wizard Only query is does it work on 3.0. B. I want to disable automatic update reminders across all users. http://www.nabble.com/customizing-oo-2.4.1-...---disable-automatic-update---skip-registration---...-td18321955.html This is a per user option - not what i want. http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Administration_Guide/Restricting_functionality This looks promising but way over my head and nothing specific to automatic updates. C. Ensure that i only have to install the local dictionary/ies once for the server, not once each for 50 users. I understand the dictionaries work different now - thus instructions could be out of date. http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Administration_Guide/Using_Package_Manager Looks promising but i don't know if it is relevant to 3.0 or WS2008 http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Administration_Guide/How_to_deploy_OpenOffice.org_though_a_network Again looks promising but no option switches specified and - http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Administration_Guide/Windows - is more about letting users install a copy each. Based on this info if i was brave i'd get A & C solved possibly first try. -- Michael All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well - Julian of Norwich 1342 - 1416 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
