We have a similar situation, though it's pretty close to a 50/50 split between machines with Outlook (staff machines) and machines without (student lab machines). We have our image building task sequence generate two images (with the only difference being the Outlook config) and then merge them into a single WIM. It takes up a minimal amount of extra space and doesn't require any additional Office maintenance during imaging.

One of our areas wants to have Outlook & Lync excluded, though. Is there any way to programmatically remove these two apps from Office during imaging, or are we looking at having two different customization files and installing Office during imaging?
