The new Microsoft Profile Wizard helps you upgrade your users to Office 2000 with standard settings across your organization.
When you upgrade to a new version of a software application, it helps if everyone in your organization can begin learning the application with the same options and settings. Having a consistent base for training can cut down on support costs, especially in the early stages of the conversion process.
There has never been an easy way to install Office with standard settings across an entire organization. Until now. In Office 2000, the Profile Wizard helps you create and distribute a default user profile, including standard locations for files and templates. You can preset options so that users don’t have to customize anything.
By using the Profile Wizard, you can also change default values to match your organization’s needs or to ensure that users have access to shared templates. When you deploy a standard user profile, all of your users start with the same Office configuration, and you can be sure of a smoother transition.
Organizations today face the challenge of keeping users up and running, with a minimum of downtime. One way that you can dull the pain of events like a computer upgrade or a hardware failure is by using user profiles.
By using the new Profile Wizard, you can store most Office 2000 user settings. Users can back up their settings and restore them to a new computer — and get back to work more quickly, without any noticeable change in their work environment.
You can use the Profile Wizard with the Office Custom Installation Wizard to distribute a standard Office user profile to your users during installation. For more information about creating a standard user profile, see the Profile Wizard.
To minimize the amount of tweaking that users can do, consider using system policies to lock down certain Office 2000 options. For more information, see Managing Users’ Options with System Policies.
