Yes office encryption is pretty secure. I put together a presentation on office 2007 security a while back. Here are the relevent bits from a whitepaper I referenced.
Previous versions of Microsoft Office used an RC4 stream cipher with a key length of up to 128 bits.
weakness in the implementation of the RC4 encryption algorithm made it possible for ...

Microsoft isn't that nice, I'm afraid. You have to have an Office license for each MACHINE, and then (if you're using terminal services) you need a Windows Server CAL and a Terminal Services CAL as well.
From microsoft's site on licensing:
Scenario 1: A customer has 50
Windows-based desktops in a call
center and would like to use Microsoft

It looks like you're trying to install the 64-bit version of Office 2010. This won't work if you're trying to uninstall a 32-bit version of Office 2007. The reason is that 32-bit applications on a 64-bit OS run under Windows on Windows (WoW), which is a compatibility layer provided on top of the native-OS so that 32-bit applications can run properly. ...

You will need to install the Microsoft Office 2007 ADM templates.
Once you've done that, you will have control over Office 2007 via Group Policy.

Office 2007 Encyption is good, but only when these two things apply:
The file is in a 2007 Native format (docx for Word, xlsx for Excel, etc)
You pick a good password. For most people this is 8+ character, using at least one of each: lowercase, caps, and numbers. For more security, longer and with symbols.
If the file you open is in Compatibility Mode ...

Yeah it's going to be a bit of a problem. What you're "supposed" to do is buy Office via Microsoft's Volume Licensing plan, in which case you get a single product key that will work for multiple installs and bypasses activation. The same is true for Windows itself.
That said, you can try something like this: ...

You need to look at the specific license that you purchased. Some are subscriptin based. Part of the renewal may include stuff like Software Assurance etc.
I would suggest an actual telephone call to MS to make sure. Speak to a person from MS to get details about your specific contracts. You can ask them all sorts of questions. If you did not get a ...

Agreed - any licensing questions should be directed to Microsoft Licensing and Pre-Sales support.
That said, 50 copies of Office SHOULD be cheaper than $350 per unless you're buying the top version. You can also consider using other products. OpenOffice.org is free, deployable through Group Policy, and works quite well.

This's as simple as copying everything from the various archives in the same place (overwriting or skipping as needed, it really doesn't matter).
When you then run Office 2007 or Office 2010's setup.exe, it will automatically discover available products and prompt you with a menu to choose what to install.
Bonus: if you put in the setup files for various ...

Yes, using config.xml.
Check out the TechNet Setup reference for the 2007 Office System:

Well after every windows update known to mankind and .net framework...got me nowhere..
But a fresh install of Windows XP, service packs and updates...then install Office 2007 all is good...
So the only solution I have so far is a fresh install :(
Hope someone knows a better one or no one has the same problem
UPDATE
It now seems that users that log off ...

Assuming you're just talking about files being shared out of an NTFS folder on the server computer's hard disk drive (and not something like files being shared out of an Exchange public folder) I doubt that Exchange is related, per se.
Exchange could be bottlenecking your I/O. You should look at the I/O load on the server computer using Performance Monitor ...

An alternative would be to use the Auto FE Updater. This utility has an option to set the trusted location of the FE automatically. It will also copy down new Access FEs and associated files when updates are made available on the server, create shortcuts and more.
I would also suggest using a subfolder of the %appdata% aka Application Data folder to ...

I am going to assume your network connection is just fine, and you are local to the server (i.e not VPN'ing in). You didn't specify whether this was just yourself, or everybody having the issue, however that is pretty irrelevant to my answer.
I've seen Office hang for a while on save and/or print dialog boxes when you have either a network printer which is ...

Unfortunately, there is no GPO setting to disable the Word Options button in the Office 2007 GPO templates. you need to create a custom Word document template with the options button disabled and then place it at one of the following locations (depending on Windows version):
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP

Could you trace what's going on with Process Monitor from sysinternals ? It's free and you can get it here:

If you send me the trace file, i can look what is generating this error

The problem was not with Office or Windows, but an issue with terminal servers and HP printer drivers and monitors. In this case, I used Autoruns to see what was starting. After disabling HP P1006 Language Monitor, HP1100LM, HP2030Lm, HPPMOPJL, and hpz3l4a, it was possible to uninstall and upgrade apps.

Echoing Evan a bit, but loading file-level AV on the same server as you're running Exchange has been known to have some strange side-effects. Especially if the Exchange AV is made by the same company as the file-level AV. The two packages I've used, Symantec Endpoint Protection and Microsoft ForeFront, were rather clear that you should not run file-level AV ...

I think what you are really looking for here is a workstation management and configuration tool. They typically report all of the installed software packages and their complete settings.
While scanning the registry of each machine would tell you whether or not Outlook is loading addins it won't tell you if the addins are actually enabled or not.

Most of it will not need migration. But as Office 2007 has different default security settings in regard to macros and VB code, some setting changes (presumably via GPO) would be needed to make things "work as before". There is a short publicly available writeup published on Directions on Microsoft several years ago - it should help you determine the things ...

Try opening Outlook with the switch /cleanrules

After that, recreate the different OOF replies.

As far as im aware its not possible.
I do agree that if you asked people this question they wouldn't really be able to answer it without bias. The problem i found after people move from one software package to another is that they start to miss these little features that are hardly worth mentioning but are only important when its removed. I would still try ...

There is no "concurrent" licensing of Microsoft Office. You can't have a "pool" of shared Office licenses.
The Right Answer(tm) is to contact a licensing support desk at your vendor, or Microsoft themselves, and learn about the cheapest way to license the functionality you're looking for. An answer on Server Fault is a nice rule of thumb, but this isn't ...

What exactly are you trying to secure? The email in transit to other people? In that case, you'd want to use something like PGP to encrypt the message, since email is sent in the clear...your service provider could easily intercept email messages flying over their network (or anyone supplying a connection between you and the recipient). PGP will definitely ...

You can employ a Microsoft Public Key Infrastructure/Cert Authority for free if you are running a server OS like Win 2003 (which I see that you are if you are using Exchange). It integrates very well with Active Directory (if you are running that also). Users can grab certs from the CA and encrypt their e-mail with it on an as-needed basis. Exchanging ...

This works in Word and Excel, and I assume it will work in Outlook. To disable the Research task pane:
From the Office application, press Alt + F11 to open the VB Editor.
Press Ctrl + G to open the Immediate Window.
Type this line and press Enter:
Application.CommandBars("Research").Enabled = False

Is there some reason that you don't just enable roaming profiles for these users? That will get all the users settings, and not just Outlook.

I really don't think there is a solution to your problem because it looks like Word just fails saving your documents in a randomly fasion due to the technical issue that user cannot fix. I would suggest to plan re-installing Windows on that machine. It could turn out that re-installing Windows and several applications is faster that the time you could spend ...
