Thx Rick, BUT...this is not what I planned to do... Deploying the updates to client computers To deploy an update with OHotFix, you run the program separately on each local computer. You can do this by using any of the following methods: Have users run OHotFix from a shared server. Create a logon script. Distribute the program as a batch file. Deploy OHotFix using Microsoft Systems Management Server. Use another software installation tool to distribute OHotFix. Client computer update files can be kept in a folder on the administrative image, or in any network share that is accessible to all clients on the network. The patches do not need to be stored on a unique server.   Marc De Schepper -----Original Message----- From: Rick Kingslan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 06, 2002 15:31 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OfficeXP SP1 and SP2 installation via GPO Marc,   If you follow the instructions at this page:   http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/xp/journ/Oxpsp2a.htm   And especially the section on updating your current Office XP installation.  The update uses .MSP and versioning to inform GP and IntelliMirror as a whole that there is new stuff available and it will notify the client side extentions for software installation that there are updates that need to be installed.   It, in effect, is 'slip-streaming' the Office install at your administrative share point then notifying the client of which files must be updated.   All in all, a pretty clean method.   HTH!   Rick Kingslan  MCSE, MCSA, MCT Microsoft MVP - Active Directory Associate Expert Expert Zone - www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of De Schepper Marc Sent: Friday, December 06, 2002 3:31 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [ActiveDir] OfficeXP SP1 and SP2 installation via GPO Hey all,   Does anyone know a good methode to install the Office XP SP1 and SP2 (which are .exe files) trough a GPO?   Marc De Schepper ************************************************************* Dit e-mail bericht inclusief eventuele ingesloten bestanden kan informatie bevatten die vertrouwelijk is en/of beschermd door intellectuele eigendomsrechten.
