    Im having an issue with office not being detected on the client machines and SCE pushing it out. Office is already installed on affected machines. This is happening on several clients using Windows XP SP2. I have attempted to let it try and install it again, however it just keeps showing up.

     

    Any Ideas??

    Hi Dave,

    First, manually un-install the software which are reoffered from SCE.

    Then delete the software package in SCE console, re-create the software, then deploy again.

    Hi Dave,

    For MSI application, if the application is already instaled on the client, then it will not be downloaded and offered from the SCE server.

    Clients that have the application are trying to re-download and install it. Clients that do not have Office will download and install it, then later on that day it would download it again and try to install.

    Hi Dave,

    Please open a command prompt and run "wuauclt /reportnow" on the problematic clients to report the status, wait for a while, then open SCE console, navigate to "Software" space, right click the office package and select "Deployment Status" to check the status.

    Sorry i didnt reply earlier... very busy month...

     

    No go on that, no matter how many times it installs, system center is still trying to push it out.

    Having a similar problem with Office Communicator 2007. Followed the steps you recommended, in the console, its showing as

    "Installation Successful: Windows successfully installed the following update: Microsoft Office Communicator 2007."

     

    However it's showing in that window with a status of "downloaded" and it is prompting me to install it again on my PC.

     

    Any ideas?

     

    Thanks

    I'm experiencing a similar problem. I manually downloaded Office 2007 SP2 to install on a few computers. I installed it on a Windows XP SP2 machine and it is still showing up in Microsoft Updates (I am not using SCE). I just tried to run "wuauclt /reportnow" from the command prompt. I'll check again in a little while and will let you know if it helps or not.
