GPO & SP4 -> Multiple sites, Multiple languages

[Wayne Gore]

Hi

I've got 10 sites on which I want to deploy SP4 with a GPO.
From what I've understood so far, in order for each
computer to run the sp update files from their local
server, I need to create 10 different GPO's.
Since I can't put in more than 1 path to .msi cab, then
thats the only solution I can see.
Right...?

One site in my organisation has client computers with
Operating systems in 3 different languages. Do I need to
create yet another GPO for each language?

Regards
Wayne

Hi Brendon
Thanks for your reply.

Your guess is right.
What I'm trying to avoid is heavy WAN traffic.
Since I could only set one path in the package I thought I
would have to create one GPO per site.

What I didn't know was that it connects to the nearest DFS
root.
Great!
That solves that problem.

Thank you very much

Regards
Wayne

How can I syncronize the folders?
If I use "Offline Files" then I can't set to which folder
it should be syncronized.
It is automatically synced to the local "Offline files"
folder...

Offline files are sync'd to %windoir%\CSC.
