Can't deploy Office 2003 SP1 with a GPO

E

eots2

I use an administrative installation point and a custom MST file to deploy
Office 2003 and need to include SP1 as part of the installation. I have
tried every solution on the Microsoft web site and everything I can find in
this newsgroup and NOTHING works! SP1 never installs, so I patched my
adminstrative installation point and now I can't even deploy Office 2003 with
the GPO. I now have to completely recreate my installation point on the
network.

Does anyone have a working solution to deploy SP1 through a Group Policy?

Then make sure that the computer object have Read Access to the Group Policy
and to the administrative installation share. Just create a group and place
your computer objects that you want to deploy Office to in that group and
give that group read permissions on the GPO and share.

The computer objects have all the requried access. The Office installation
was working properly until I patched the installation point with SP1. I will
have to reinstall the unpatched Office to my installation point and start
over, but I still need a way to deploy SP1 with Office 2003. This is where I
need help, nothing I've tried worked, Office always installed but SP1 would
not.

Hi Eots,

If the Office Admin Point is at the Office 2003 SP1
level and you deploy/install from that Admin Point
there really isn't a way for the install to not be
SP1.

Can you explain how you created the Admin point and
how you then updated it to SP1 plus how you then
deployed or redeployed/recached the client install
from that Admin point?

If you setup a client manually from that admin point
do you get the same results?

What update process have you selected from those
in the Office resource Kit (http://microsoft.com/office/ork )

========
The computer objects have all the requried access. The Office installation
was working properly until I patched the installation point with SP1. I will
have to reinstall the unpatched Office to my installation point and start
over, but I still need a way to deploy SP1 with Office 2003. This is where I
need help, nothing I've tried worked, Office always installed but SP1 would
not.>>
