Custom Maintenance Wizard

The Custom Maintenance Wizard enables you to make changes to an Office XP installation after the initial deployment. Using the Custom Maintenance Wizard, you can modify almost every feature that you can set in the Custom Installation Wizard — including default user settings, security levels, Outlook settings, and registry keys.

The Custom Maintenance Wizard works by creating a configuration maintenance file (CMW file) based on the Windows Installer package (MSI file) used in the Office installation. To apply the changes to a client computer, you run the Custom Maintenance Wizard from a command line on the client computer, specifying the customization file that contains the changes you want to apply.

Install the Custom Maintenance Wizard

The Custom Maintenance Wizard is automatically installed on your computer when you install the Office Resource Kit. To locate the tool, click the Start button, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Office Tools, point to Microsoft Office XP Resource Kit Tools, and then click Custom Maintenance Wizard.

The Custom Maintenance Wizard can also be downloaded from the Toolbox on the Office Resource Kit Web site at http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork.
