Hi,

How can I deploy MS office from a Windows 2000 server via Group Policy? I
typed GPedit.mmc at the run prompt on the DC, but do not see the software
installation option. However, if I go to AD and select the domain and
properties I see Group Policy and software installation below USER and
COMPUTER configuration.

I have never used Group Policy. Can group policy be used to deploy office
to a particular machine only?

thanks, PL3

Yes. If you put the computer account in a single OU or filter the GPO
where the Computer is inside by security settings.
