Office 2007 install through AD

[Fabrussio]

2 questions:
- I have created 2 .MSP files for custom installs (staff and student
machines) but how do install office through the AD (software installation)
using these .MSP files. I have read about putting it in the updates folder
but if there’s more than one .MSP how do I specify which one the GPO uses
during setup?

- Also is there not a single .MSI file anymore?

Thanks 4 any advice!

As far as I know, .MSP's don't work for GPO/Office 2007 deployment.
Yes this is different from 2003. You must use the config.xml file to
costumize your GPO deployment.

- Also is there not a single .MSI file anymore?

Look in the (Standard/Professional/Ultimate).XX folder, you will find
your .msi there.
