I'd like to have users see that Office 2007 is being installed on their PC's
and the progress bar, but I don't want the Office 2007 package to prompt for
a reboot at the end. The reason for this is that I'm deploying via SCCM 2007
and want it to take care of the reboot so that I can deploy in the middle of
the night and not have to worry about everyone having to reboot first thing
in the morning.

The way it is now, even though I tell SCCM to perform a reboot, it doesn't
see the install as being complete as long as the Office reboot prompt is on
the window--therefore never starts the countdown. If I manually click "no"
to the Office prompt for reboot the SCCM prompt appears and works just fine.
If I don't press anything, the SCCM prompt never appears. Alternatively, if
I click "Yes" to the Office prompt for a reboot, the reboot happens but the
SCCM report is scewed because it then reports a failure due to an "unexpected
reboot".

Does anyone know of an easy way to supress the Office reboot using the OCT
or any other method? Much appreciation in advance to anyone that can help me
out!
