Dumb question. I know what they are USED for, just don't know what the
acronym stands for.

Thanks.

Yeah, I looked there, first...G

I guess I should specify...refering to Microsoft Office, what does OPA (the
files used to get customizations for install files from, similar to ADM files
for GPO use) stand for?

Thanks.

I know what they are USED for, just wondered what the extension was named
for. You know, like MSI = MicroSoft Installer, ADM = Administrative
Template, etc., so...OPA = ??

Thanks.

I'm not sure in this context but my guess is either Office Productivity Apps
