Patching Office 2003 with SP1

[Dan]

I just want to confirm if im doing this right.
I did a administrative install for Office 2003 and deploy it to my users via
GPO.
I downloaded the SP1 for Office 2003 and extracted it to a folder.

I run this command to patch office with sp3.

C:\>msiexec /a \\server1\gpo$\office2003vl\std11.msi /p
c:\office\Office2003SP
1\MAINSP1ff.msp shortfilenames=1

Is the MAINSP1ff.msp the only file i need to deploy cause there are other
ones and im not sure and also am i doing everything right.

thanks

That is correct. In general I assign the package to the PC and deploy an
mst-file with it to configure Office on install. You must make sure that the
PC objects have read access to the GPO and the administrative share. Office
will then be installed on startup.
