I've been integrating the latest service packs & patches into Office
administrative installation points for a while and have gotten mixed
results. SP's always go through, no issues there. But sometimes when using
the same steps with integrating a patch, it gives an error, something like
it can't find the correct source to apply the patch to. Some patches apply
fine, some don't. Are some patches not able to be rolled into an
installation point?
Also, had a client the other day that uses SBS2003 which has the Outlook
2003 share on the server. So I updated it to SP2 with the October Junk
Email Filter update, worked great. But then I installed it to a PC the
other day, ran Office Update and it detected that it was missing the
November update...which is fine. But it wouldn't let me apply it, said that
because the installation was from an admin install point, I'd have to call
my sys admin. I could still click 'more details' and manually download the
file and install it, which is fine for myself. But if I have remote users
in the field, the auto install method doesn't work and they may not be able
to do it themselves.
I also updated a CDof either Office 2003 or Outlook 2003 to include both SP2
and latest spam filter so that it could be distributed to remote users. I
installed it off the CD fine, went to Help -> About and it shows SP2. But
when running Office Update, it shows that both SP2 & the spam fitler have to
be installed. And again, with the contacting sys admin message, so it won't
do the auto install/update.
Am I missing a step or is this normal behavior?
