Re-Deploy new MST

[mcloum]

Hi all,

 

I have a MST that doesnt install Outlook for Office 2003 but i now have a need for it within school (Exchange) I have re-done the MST but would rather not have to remove Office from the OU and redploy it everywhere as all my child OUs rely on the parent OU for Office to be installed.

 

I have tried overwriting the MST and uninstalling Office on 1 machine to see if the new MST is used, it isnt.

 

Any ideas on the best way?

 

Cheers

I dont think you can apply a transform to software that is already installed and you wont be able to fool it into using your new one as it will have some kind of unique code probably. Redeploy is going to be you best bet.

You could use Office Custom Maintenance Wizard to generate a cmw file, then apply it in a startup script to modify existing installations without reinstalling.
