Roaming Profiles and Office

[Guest TheScullster]

Hi all

 

Can anyone tell me if I'm likely to get problems mixing Office versions in a

roaming profile environment?

 

To put that in English, we are generally running Office 2003 on our desktops

with roaming profiles enabled.

I have recently aquired a laptop for one user which has Office 2007

installed.

If he shifts between the two platforms with them hooked up to the network,

will I get profile conflict issues?

 

TIA

No, not too much. Some things like Outlook may behave a little differently,

and of course it's advisable to have identical workstation builds when you

use roaming profiles, but this should work. The time to avoid them is when

you have dissimilar workstation OSes.
