Simple installation Office 2003 OEM software

hello,

Our company use Office 2003 OEM software versions and I search for a simple
installation method. An Administrative installation point isn't possible with
this version. Is there another way to make a standard directory for all OEM
installations?
So that I can update this directory with the latest service pack, fixes, etc?

During each installation I want give the product key that belong to the
specific workstation (machine).

Please let me know.

Ingrid

Hi, Ingrid,

See this article:

Look down to the "Creating a compressed CD image on the network". That
should be a way that you can use a central installation point.

Then refer to

Microsoft Office Assistance: Strategies for Updating Office 2003
Installations:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...525741033.aspx

For information on how to update clients that have been installed from a
compressed image. You can chain patches, which will help some.

Also, the Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) will soon be released, which
will allow you to control updates for Office 2003. You can see here for
more information:
