Office 2008 Deployment

Installing Office 2008 for Mac updates in a corporate environment

Microsoft regularly updates its software to improve performance, improve security, or update features. These updates are released either as an incremental release or a combo release.

An incremental release includes only the files that differ from the last updated release. A combo release includes fixes from all the incremental releases since the last combo release.

For example, the Office 2008 for Mac 12.1.3 Update combo release includes fixes from the previous incremental releases: Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac 12.1.1 Update and Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac 12.1.2 Update. Therefore, a user who has Office 2008 SP1 Update will be able to directly install the Office 2008 for Mac 12.1.3 Update combo release.

Note For Office 2008, a combo release includes updates only from Office 2008 SP1 Update.

To deploy Office 2008 for Mac incremental release updates to client computers from a central location, create your own Office 2008 image with the latest updates installed. Then deploy this image to the users in the network.
