Yep-Download and extract the files and you'll find an .msi file to use for AD 
Deployment.  We deployed a while back (October?) to all Office 2003 
installations (by computer) and it's been working well.  We use security groups 
in AD for different versions of Office, so used those to allow/deny the program 
to only Office 2003 machines.

For William-we also have this installed on both of our WS03 TS servers, as per 
usual TS installation procedures.

One note-when you install this, you WILL see Office 2007 security updates start 
installing on your machines (either via WSUS or regular Windows update 
procedures).  If you're on WSUS and not downloading Office 2007 updates yet, 
you'll want to make sure to add them.

Subject: Office 2007 File Converter GPO


For those of us who have not migrated to Office 2007, Microsoft has a file 
converter program:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=941B3470-3AE9-4AEE-8F43-C6BB74CD1466&displaylang=en

that is used to allow Office 2003 to view files that were created in Office 
2007.

My question is, is there a way to "push" this converter install out using GPO?

Thanks....
Troy
