Office 2008 Planning

Deploying updates from a central location

If your policies do not allow users to have administrator privileges on their computers, or if you want to centrally manage updates in order to ensure a common software environment for your users, you can choose the updates that you want to use and deploy them from a central location. This distributes updates to the appropriate users' computers and ensures that your existing installations have the latest software updates.

You can set a preference to disable automatic update checking on users' computers. For more information, see Configuring AutoUpdate for Office 2008 in the Office 2008 Deployment section.

Note There is no way to prevent a user who has an administrator account from independently downloading updates from the Microsoft Web site or from overriding your deployed preferences and using AutoUpdate.

For procedural information about deploying updates centrally, see Distributing Office 2008 product updates in the Office 2008 Operation section.

Allowing users to perform updates independently

If you are not planning to deploy Office 2008 updates centrally, you can instruct users to use AutoUpdate. To run AutoUpdate, the user opens any Office 2008 application and then on the Help menu, clicks Check for Updates. Running AutoUpdate requires that the user log in as an administrator.

Planning your e-mail system

When you are implementing Office 2008 in a Microsoft Exchange Server environment, you can choose any of the following e-mail applications for Macintosh clients in your enterprise:

Entourage 2008, which enables Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (DAV) access to a server that is running Microsoft Exchange.

Outlook Web Access Light, which enables browser-based access to an Exchange server.

Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac, which enables a Macintosh client computer to connect to Outlook on a Windows-based computer for access to an Exchange server.

Solutions such as Boot Camp, Parallels, or other third-party products that allow Microsoft Office Outlook to run under Windows on the Macintosh computer and to connect from there to an Exchange server.
