We are using Open Office 2.0 on Win2000 workstations - In a K-12 school
environment. We upgraded from 1.1.4 which worked fine in our situation.
We may need to downgrade.
We installed 2.0 on each workstation in computer labs as administrator,
for "all users on computer".
Now each user (some are 2nd grade students) still needs to accept
license agreement and click registration method each time that
particular student moves to another machine. Each computer in the
computer lab could have several users each day. We didn't have this
problem with versions 1.1.0 - 1.1.4
We have a compounded problem because we use DeepFreeze to lock down C:
drive to prevent changes and deletions in the computer labs. I can deal
with this, but it makes it even more necessary for a default license
accept and registration choice. Our students save all documents, etc.
to network storage folder, but can't save startup info, including the
Load/Save settings to auto-save as DOC, XLS and PPT.
Anyone have any ideas on how to get generic default startup/setting in
2.0, similar to 1.1.4, where a user doesn't need to accept license, do
registration and saveas for each machine they use?
Perhaps is it possible to copy the OOo personal directory in "default
user" directory (or "all users"?). I think about something like (I can't
verify, I work on a Linux computer)
c:\docs...settings\[user]\application data\openoffice2
I think using "Default user" would let each user modifying his settings
after, more than "all users", but I'm not sure at all about that. If
using "default user", test if it is nice with users allready present on
this computer before; if not, try if it's acceptable to delete personal
directory (be careful, all personal settings are lost)
Then, a new user on *this* computer would get this default profile,
without accepting license to check, and it would be possible to include
in this profile some "local" settings, like a gallery included for all,
a special zoom in Writer (ex. optimal)...
So it has to be done on each computer if there is not a net
installation. It's easy with an "image" of hard disk, if computers are
all the same.
