How to deploy Office 2007 using Group Policy

Office 2007 Enterprise Edition includes the following products:

Microsoft Office Access database.

Microsoft Office Excel

Microsoft Office Groove

Microsoft Office OneNote

Microsoft Office Outlook

Microsoft Office PowerPoint

Microsoft Office Publisher

Microsoft Office Word

Microsoft Office InfoPath

When you install Office 2007, you need to choose which products to install and enter the installation serial number. If you deploy through Group Policy, these selections must be placed in a configuration file that is Config.xml in the Enterprise.ww folder in the root directory of the Office Enterprise installation CD. The configuration file can include installing the serial number used for office and which content products to install.

Because Office 2007 is a typical MSI-formatted software, you can choose to assign to computers, assign them to users, and publish them to users. However, Office does not support using Group Policy software distribution to deploy Office 2007 products by user. When you install Office 2007 products through Group Policy, it is recommended that you use a deployment that is assigned by computer. "(from Microsoft's official statement), where we're talking about deploying Office 2007 in a way that is assigned to a computer.

As shown in the picture, is the edited Config.xml file.

&lt;optionstate id= "optionID" state= "Absent" | "Advertise" | "Default" | "Local" [children= "Force"]/>

Absent does not have this feature installed.

Advertise this feature is installed on first use.

Default this feature is restored to its defaults installation state.

Local this feature is installed on the user's computer.

Children force sets all the child features of the feature to the specified state.

The ID represents the product for office.
