Company desided to move over from SUS to WSUS considering that WSUS supports
much more than SUS does and has some reporting.
Authorized Service Pack 3 for Office XP, on most (~90%) computers it will
install, but on those that fail it asks for the CD to complete the
installation and this can only be done by an Administrator. This needs to be
done and can't be put off for if the installation fails then it modifies some
file that Excel needs and will not let the user open Excel until the Service
Pack is installed.
My question then is as follows:
Is there anyway to automate this installation process when it fails? What
I have read so far that the possibility of creating an Administrative
Install, update the Admin Install, then have the workstations look to there
when source files are needed. Issue I have with this is that Office XP was
installed as a Local Installation from an Image. So the horror of running
around to all the computers just to tell it where to look for source files is
just as bad as running around fixing Office XP with the CD.
Or is there an easier way to direct all Office XP installations to an
Admin Install via Group Policies, Logon file, Script, etc?
