I personally like Avast AV. Very similar to Kaspersky, but I feel that it has a better DB of risks.

1. Download the Office Resource Kit, which is available for free from the Microsoft support website. From the Internet browser, right-click on the file named "ork.exe" and select "Save As." A dialog box will open. Browse to the location on the computer where you would like to save the file, and click "Save." 2. Open the downloaded "ork.exe" file by clicking the "Start" menu, selecting "My Computer" and browsing to the location where it was saved. Double-click on the file to launch the installation, which will detect Office and install automatically. 3. Click "Start" and "Programs." Locate "Microsoft Office" from the list. Select "Microsoft Office Tools." Select "Microsoft Office Resource Kit." Click "Profile Wizard." 4. Select the tab marked "Save or Restore Settings" from the Profile Wizard window. Choose "Save the Settings from this Machine" and enter a full name and path for the new file, such as "c:\backup\example.mst." Click "Next." 5. Click the check boxes next to the Microsoft Office programs for which you would like to backup settings. For example, if the settings used in Word and Excel need to be saved and duplicated, select only these. Choose only the required Office programs to reduce the file's complexity. 6. Click "Finish." The settings from the selected Office programs will be saved in one file. Verify the file's existence by browsing to the chosen location in "My Computer" and confirming that the ".mst" file is there. More information about the Office Resource kit is located here.

Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Mohammed, but I go by Moe. I'm a Sr. Systems Engineer, with a concentration in VMWare, and infrastructure design. I have been in the field for 14 years now, and have been enjoying it. I look forward to presenting some one off issues I encounter, and also help members out as much as I can.

Muhammad, couple of questions: What VM technology are you using? Are you using Hyper-V, VMWare, Proxmox...? For Office 2007, create an mst file with the office customization tool (setup /admin) you can run the installation silently with just the setup.exe command. All you have to do is to put the mst in the update folder. For drivers, you want to load your *.sys files into the C:\Windows\System32\drivers folder. You do not want to deploy using wireless, it is not a good way, and may cause a lot of problems. Always use a wired network connection. Mohammed Doleh
