Deploy MS Office 2007 by GPO

[sundace]

I'm trying to find out how to deploy the Office 2007 by GPO.
The technet instructions aren't accessible. When I click the link it
opens a blank (white content page) within technet.

Is there a way to install Office 2007 by GPO and to customize this
installation? If yes, please specify how.
Can all Office 2007 versions be installed that way?


I'm beginning to be afraid that MS kills there own Active Directory
Rollout with the new office installation setup as there is very little
information to find how to do it.

Hi Sundace,

For Office 2007 and the new setup.exe program and tools, which use .MSP (MS Installer Patch files) for customizations and multiple
..MSI files for deployment of Office products the use of GPO for deployment isn't the MS recommended approach. GPO deployment
doesn't support the use of .MSP files, so you'll need to work with the config.xml and scripting to some extent to sort of 'roll your
own'.

You'll be able to use the Office policies for the deployment
