This replaces the previous version ORKTools - Custom Installation Wizard and Custom Maintenance Wizard. The previous version Transforms (MST) have been replaced by Windows Installer Patch files (.MSP). There is a pre-deployment tool kit, the Office Migration/Planning Manager available for download, accessible through the Office Resource Kit (or from MS downloads - http://microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=13580cd7-a8bc-40ef-8281-dd2c325a5a81) and the Office 2007 basic Policy Administrative Templates are also available through the ORK article on them or through http://microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=92d8519a-e143-4aee-8f7a-e4bbaeba13e7 ============= <<"Sabo, Eric" <sabo_e[ at ]cup.edu> wrote in message news:ehR2MwZjHHA.1240[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl...

Re: Office 2007 Resource Kit "Bob Buckland ?:-\)" <75214.226(At Beautiful Downtown)compuserve.com> 5/4/2007 12:49:23 PM Hi Eric, Even when I read through it then try some of the steps it does feel like I'm "missing something" too :) I suspect it may make more sense for folks who haven't previously worked on an Office deployment (not having their 'how I did it last time' memory coming into play and trying to make the switch, but then, from the questions posted, it's basically still complicated unless you have the context of the authors who work with their terminology day in and day out. Being able to script things can be a big help for doing multiple step installs, although that precaching the Local Install Source (MSOCache) first through HD images or from setup does seem to help somewhat in making the next steps simpler, or at least quicker. ============== <<"Sabo, Eric" <sabo_e[ at ]cup.edu> wrote in message news:usW7DUkjHHA.2552[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl...
