Seeing as Office 2007 is now available via MSVL, MSDN and TechNet, I thought I’d post a reminder that I have documented the custom installation process via System Center Configuration Manager 2007. This document was written while I still worked for 4sol. The process of preparing your installation point is the same as it would be for SMS 2003/2003 R2 and Group Policy so check it out if you need to deploy Office 2007. The process is different from the process we used with Office 2003 but it’s not totally alien and it is probably a bit easier to use.
This document was based on a beta release of Office 2007. It will also be applicable to the other Office 2007 products such as Visio 2007, InfoPath 2007, etc, which also went RTM along with the core Office 2007 product.
