Software Deployment

If I remember from when I build our office install... you should be able to disable the search ... thing ... from the OCT. Do you have the admin guide?

I had previosly disabled RSS in the OCT and tested by repushing to the same machine after deleting Outlook 2007. This was probably not smart as it likely retained the RSS setting in the registry from the previous install. I deployed to a machine that never had the Outllok 2007 install and the RSS prompt is gone. Also...ApparentlyI wasn't that clear regarding the the Search thing. It is the Privacy Option pop-up. As of now this is the only pop-up I am getting after the push...any ideas?

Well, I answered my own question... the following Microsoft document offers a solution to suppress the Privacy Option first run pop-up:
