Re: Office 2004 updates via ARD



it's less work to create a package installer for office 11.3.3 updater than it is to walk to a couple dozen (or a few hundred/thousand) computers and perform the install manually. you can push the components or the entire folder. the trick is making sure you do a proper snapshot so users don't get the initial prompt at first launch.

Just my 2� Chris, this is a hugh project to do for office. I do this sort of thing with Acrobat and some other things using IceBerg in conjunction with Spring Cleaning so I know a little about it. If might look all not that hard but if you look at the log on what get's installed and were. It's just a big project.
