Deploying Office 2007 System updates
Will Microsoft Office 2007 System updates be easier to deploy to users?
Yes. In previous Office versions, you kept local installations current by updating the source files in the administrative installation point and triggering a reinstallation of Office on each user's computer. Or you configured Office 2000 Setup to chain software updates with new installations of Office. Keeping all installations synchronized was difficult. Now, you create a network installation point that you never have to update, so that client computers never become out of sync with the installation source. Keeping new installations current is as simple as copying updates to a folder on the network installation point. There's no need to configure complex, chained deployments or modify the original installation files. New installations will chain the updates in sequence, and you can specify different locations for updates by using a config.xml file. (For more information about deployment mechanisms, see the Microsoft article "Deploy the 2007 Office system with limited network capacity" .) For organizations that subscribe to Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), I highly recommend that you install Office 2007 with cached installation files and distribute updates by using WSUS.
