Updating Office after published

I am planning to publish Office 2003 to around 50 workstations shortly. I
am wondering how things work once all workstations have the Office 2003
published, and I walk over and install a patch or SP on a workstation. Will
the Group Policy see a change and revert back to the pre-patch/SP status?

Thanks,
Tony

Click to expand...

In this case, usally you use an administrative installation point.
Apply the Service Pack (.msp) to this point and roll out the
software again. All Clients will be re-installed with the updated office.

If you are using WSUS, then the WU Client will update the system.
The GPO will not revert the system back.
