Hi everyone,

Hope someone can help me.
At work we have had a few Windows XP Pro SP2 client machines that suddenly one day will uninstall Office 2007 standard which is pushed out via Group Policy. Nothing in the GPO has changed. our Office 2007 Standard policy is still the same from yesterday. and this particular PC is still in that group. so i dont understand why this happend.

I have tried to a GPupdate /force but still no luck. tried to remove that PC from the group policy for office, add it back in after 15 minutes and tried adding it in again.

Windows Server 2003 latest service packs and updates.

Hope someone can help.

It's possible that the GPO that applied the software package is no longer applying to the client, at which point software uninstall would occur because it would have gone out of scope. Take a look at gpresult /Z and make sure the software installation policy is applying properly first.
