Thanks, that's good to know, since we're (hopefully) implementing SCCM later this year.

My bad, I was thinking SMS not GPO..SMS *CAN* use BITS depending on how the SMS server and SMS package are configured.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought BITS was used for Windows Updates and other HTTP-related services?

It would go out via BITS, so would it really make that much of a difference?

I know it’s not full-blown Office, but we pushed out the O2k7 Compatibility pack via GPO. I wouldn’t even think about pushing the full copy of Office over our network, that would take “mad” bandwidth.

No, it does not. One can make an "install file", but it only collects installation options. It will not install Office. -- Richard D.
