Hi,
I could put it on a share (no samba here - totally windows) so they can
access update.
But then I have still have to go round and do the updates!
Most users don't have permission to install software, it needs admin
rights, or be an approved process that can elevate it's rights to do
install (like .msi files from server are allowed).
So, is there an automatic detection and update process? (along lines of
windows update detecting that office needs an update and then doing it,
or like firefox's update process).
If not, does anyone else see this as important? I won't be installing
any more OpenOffice if there is high overhead for admins to do updates.

I think what CPH meant was installing Openoffice.org itself on a shared
server, rather than on each individual machine. Then when you update
Ooo, you only need to update one copy. Each user has their own profile
(user settings) on their own machine but that's not affected by the
upgrade. We have a network install like this on our (windows) network
and it works fine - perhaps a bit slower starting up when a computer is
first switched on, but after that there's no noticeable difference.
