administrative installation point

[Tom]

We created an administrative installation point with
Office XP and updated the installation with all the
service packs and hotfixes. We can push out to our clients
on our network through the GPO, this works fine. We want
to send out the disk to our dial up users. But the space
used by the administrative installation is over the amount
of one CD. How do we split up the files into 2 CD's or is
their a way to use only one CD for our dial up users?

Hi Tom,

You can create a custom installation CD/set from the Admin Installation Point for Office XP as one method:

You could also use WinZip or similar to archive the admin point onto a CD and then decompress (restore) it to an admin point locally
on the computer of the dialup users.
