Hi,

I was not sure if I should post this on Group Policy or on
MSI. I hope someone here can help:

I have assigned office 2000 to an OU. I put the office
MSI pack in a share, did an admin install, created a GPO
to apply the OFFICE 2K MSI and then linked it to the OU.
It works.

Can someone tell me the best way and basic steps
required to now apply Office 2000 SP3 to this
installation. Also, was it needed to do the admin install
in the share or not? Someone told me to do it that way.
Another said no.

Thanks you to anyone who can take some time to help me.

Beth
 
First you need to update the adminstrative installation
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;278272 and then
redeploy the application.
1.. Open the Software Installation snap-in within the Group Policy Object
(GPO) that you are using to manage the existing Office installation.
2.. In the details pane, right-click the Office package, point to All
Tasks, and then click Redeploy application. The next time that the Group
Policy Object is applied to the designated users or computers, the updated
files are copied to the users' computers.
