Deployment methods for Office 2008

There are two general approaches for deploying Office 2008:

Installing retail copies of Office 2008 on individual users' computers.
Deploying Office 2008 under a volume license from a central location to multiple computers on a network.

You cannot deploy retail versions of Office across an organization from a central location. To deploy Office 2008 centrally, your organization must have a volume license. For more information about volume licensing, see About Microsoft Volume Licensing programs in the Office 2008 Evaluation section.

Important

Before you install Office 2008 on a computer, we recommend that you prepare the computer as follows:

Turn off virus protection software, and quit any applications that are running.
Back up any existing Entourage identity databases.

After Office 2008 has been installed on the computers of Entourage users, these users can import information from their previous Entourage identities. For more information about importing information to a new Entourage identity, see Microsoft Entourage 2008 for Mac Help.

Installing retail copies on individual computers

Deploying Office 2008 from a central location to multiple computers

There are several methods available for deploying Office to multiple computers from a central location. Some methods install Office directly on users' computers. Other methods load Office applications onto users' computers at run time from a server. You can use any of the deployment methods that are described below to deploy the default installation image from the Office 2008 distribution media. You can also deploy a customized installation image of Office 2008 that reflects your preferred preference settings for a group of computers in your organization.

The methods for deploying Office 2008 include:

Installation by using Apple Remote Desktop
Use Apple Remote Desktop to distribute the .mpkg file onto users' computers. Office 2008 uses the Apple-recommended Apple Installer technology for installation. This makes the installation process more efficient because the data that Office installs is in the .mpkg format. Office Installer is compatible with Apple Remote Desktop, and the installation programs are AppleScript ready.
Important
When you deploy Office 2008 by using a remote connection, such as Apple Remote Desktop, to a client computer at a login window, a postflight script in the Office Installer causes the Dock application to open with root user privileges. Any applications subsequently opened from the Dock will also be run with root user privileges. Under these conditions, someone with physical access to the client computer can gain local elevation of privilege. This security issue can only occur when Office 2008 is deployed to computers that run Mac OS X v10.4.9 or a later version of Mac OS X v10.4 (Tiger). This is not an issue for computers that run Mac OS X v10.5 (Leopard). For information about how to mitigate this security issue, see Security issue in Office 2008 remote installation to Mac OS X v10.4 (Tiger) in the Office 2008 Known Issues section. For more information about this security issue, see Apple KB304131: "Remote Desktop: Installing a package on clients that are at a login window".
Installation from a file server
Load the installation imageA copy of the Office 2008 folder with contents that have been customized for deployment in your organization on a file server. Users install Office on their computers by dragging the .mpkg file from the file server to their computers and then opening it.
Running from a NetBoot image
When you configure Office as part of the NetBoot image, Office is available to users automatically when they start or restart their computers.

For more information about these deployment methods, see the following topics in the Office 2008 Deployment section:

For detailed information about how to create an installation image and customize preferences, see the Office 2008 Deployment section.
