Network Deployment without SMS
• Office Customizing Tool:– Setup.exe /admin utility– Lots of options!– Use to create MSP (and PRF if desired)
• Run Bat File to implement!– Setup.exe /adminfile <location of MSP>
• Must Map Drive with letter (not UNC Only)• DU: 3 MSPs, Laptop, Desktop, Non-Exchange

Office 2007Deployment
• 300 machines to upgrade• Created a custom .MSP file:• Created a “silent” install that does not prompt
for anything during install– Site license key– Install directories, – Program install options; customize each program's
settings within Word, Excel, PowerPoint• Set the default format for Saving to be the Office
2003 format for all programs in the suite
![Page 11: Office-2007 Deployment Updates & Discussion Panel Brad Sharp – UNC Rick Cisneros (Rick Beck) – Metro State Chad Burnham – DU Jon Giltner – UCB Fall 2007](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551a5ed45503463e778b5997/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Created Outlook profiles – Two .MSP files:
• RPC over HTTP for laptops (outside DU Firewall)• TCP/IP – on campus only machines/desktops.
• After installation, visit: http://www.microsoft.com/office– Run the Office Updates (about 14 updates at this
time), – Reboot the computer.
• Install takes between 30 minutes on newer machines to about an hour or more on older ones.

• Only Department that has upgraded to Exchange 2007. Brand New Server. Very painful.
• Most migration tasks are by command line scripting – GUIs not created yet.– Waiting on SP1 (11/07)– Mail delivery rules, policy, etc – must be managed
and viewed from a 2007 MMC!
• SEVERAL MS-Support calls during upgrade• Other units holding off on upgrade as a result

Office 2007Deployment
• In Trials• Using Department SMS server to ‘push’ Office
2007 to faculty and staff client machines.• MSI file is created, MST (Transform) File is
used for install options, Reboot, and then finally a MSP file is run for the patches.

• One machine @ a time• Power Users 1st – need a couple of weeks!• No Critical reason to roll out – rest after break• Lots of user issues after each install

DU Experiences - General Thoughts
• Finally with 2007, all CAB file are copied to client machine by default – useful for feature add-ins and patches later - FINALLY
• Outlook 2007 uses encryption by default to the Exchange server.
• DU Training: Ribbon Maps• Microsoft Interactive Command reference
