Slipstream Office Updates with WDS

Hi guys,
I have a problem with slipstreaming the Office 2010 updates. We use a WDS server to do this. During the installation process, WDS needs to slipstream the Office updates. However, this does not happen. When the Office setup is completed we have noticed that
the Office updates are not installed (SP2 and other updates). Because of this, the updates are retrieved by Windows Update. The updates can be found on our network share in \Apps\Office2k10\x32\Updates. Also Office setup looks in this folder during the installation
for the updates but the updates are still not installed.
We really don't know what the problem is. Hopefully you guys can help me with this.
Kind regards,
Mo

Hi,
What's the folder structure of your Office installation source?
Remember that you'll need to extract all the files from service pack's EXE file first, then copy the content (several .txt, .xml, .msp files) into the Updates folder.
For more information about Using the Updates folder to deploy software updates during an Office 2010 installation, please refer to:

Hi,
The updates above are for multiple languages.
These are Language Packs when you choose "Windows 8.1 Language Packs" in the Products tab. They can be installed on all the computers with Windows 8.1.
This behavior is nomal.

Word experienced a serious problem with the 'acrobat pdfmaker office com addin' add-in. after Office Updates.

I cant cant use mail merge feature in Winword in conjunction with Abobe Acrobat 10 (pdfmaker add-in) after the recent Office April Windows and Office Updates.
Here is a quick note from the event viewer:
The program WINWORD.EXE version 14.0.7134.5000 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.
Process ID: 1138
Start Time: 01d07dcede19c458
Termination Time: 15
Application Path: C:\Program (file:///C:/Program) Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\WINWORD.EXE
Report Id:
Microsoft Word: Accepted Safe Mode action : Word experienced a serious problem with the 'acrobat pdfmaker office com addin' add-in. If you have seen this message multiple times, you should disable
this add-in and check to see if an update is available. Do you want to disable this add-in?.
I do not wish to disable the pdfmaker add-in as I use it to run mail merge on WORD and send 10s and 1000s of pdfs via email to external users. I am not sure what are my options here and I wish
someone could help me get to the root cause of the matter.
My environment is as follows:
Windows 7 x64 SP1
Office 2010 v 14.0.7128.5000
Adobe Reader MUI X and Adobe Acrobat X
Feroze

Hi,
As the event log indicated, this is due to acrobat pdfmaker office com addin doesn't work well with Microsoft Word.
I would suggest you go ahead and try to upgrade your Adobe product to the latest version and see if issue persists.
Or contact the support of Adobe and see if there is a known compatibility issue or not.

Whats the best way to apply office updates during OSD task sequence with Software Update Agent disabled?

I am trying to update office via the SCCM 2012 R2 OSD task sequence. I know offline updating only updates the core components in the WIM and I'm trying to figure out how to add office updates as well. I am aware of using powershell to try and kick off
a WU scan as seen here:
http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/2012/01/24/use-powershell-commands-to-assist-with-patching-during-sccm-image-build/
But the kicker is we don't use SCCM to update the workstations (Solo WSUS install). Is there a way to do this (maybe set the client in the TS to switch on SUP, then off again when it goes off into production) rather than have to build a new image every month?

You could use the ZTI_WindowsUpdates.wsf script from MDT.
http://scriptimus.wordpress.com/2012/03/22/mdt-2012-automating-updates-in-lite-touch-deployments/
How does it work?
The task sequence steps run a script called ZTIWindowsUpdate.wsf. The script uses the
Windows Update Agent API to manage the downloading and installation of updates. All audit information is written to the
ZTIWindowsUpdate.log file. If you find any unusual error codes in your log returned from the API (although I never have) you can compare the codes
here. The script will also check and update the
Windows Update Agent(WUA) as needed at the start.
In its default state, the ZTIWindowsUpdate.wsf script will connect to Microsoft Update then search for and download all available updates including Security Patches, Drivers, Browser Updates and Service Packs. This is essentially the same
as opening the GUI and selecting check for updates.

How to push Office 2004 updates with ARD

I need a method to push the latest Microsoft Office 2004 update with ARD. Can this be done?
It looks like the installer is a installerVise package. Is there anyway to remove the files and build a package with Iceberg or Packagemaker?
What files are replaced and what about rights?
How is everyone else handling this?
ALL Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I was wondering if there might be a .pkg file embedded in the .dmg disk image file and, if so, if there was a UNIX command line way to extract it.
It sounds like the answer is probably "no."
I talked with Apple Enterprise support and they suggested opening the .dmg file, quitting the installer, and then using the Terminal application to see if there were any hidden files "dot" files. I did this on the Desktop and, curiously enough, even though one could still see the Installer icon on the Desktop, nothing connected with it showed up in response to an "ls -la" command. I assume that they must be parking the installer contents in a temp location somewhere else.
Has anyone ever asked Microsoft if they have any plans to distribute their Office updates in .pkg format? It seems pretty lame not to be able to use ARD to push these updates out easily instead of having to go through the work of doing a software difference between two computers.

Future Office 2008 updates with OS X v10.7 Lion

I understand Office 2008 is compatable with Lion but its installer is not. Down the road if MS has an update for Office 2008, will it be possible to do the update with the issue of the incompatible installer?

It should say which OS it works with on the side of the box (or download site) or on the manufacturers website?

Slipstreaming: Is there a Terminal Command or an App to Slipstream 10.5 with 10.5.8 Combo Update so It Become One .DMG for Burning Purposes?

Hi. Is there a Terminal command or an App for OS X (Snow Leopard which I'm using now as a backup OS X from an external USB drive) that can slipstream the 10.5.8 combo update to 10.5 retail installer (I 10.5.8 for an experiment) to be burned to either DVD and other media like with this Windows 8 app:

Ya, I'd love to have the computers connected to the Xserver, unfortunately against my heeding, I was ordered to take them off of the Xserver, so they only have a local account that automatically logs in on startup, and even though I have Parental Controls set, I can not stop them from going to Safari, selecting an inappropriate image and setting it as the background, so now I’ve been ordered to fix all of the backgrounds that people are messing with.
My Xserver is running OS X 10.4.11 Server Edition. Yes, I would love a new server, but that’s not happening due to budget cuts.
So what I am hoping for is a command that I can put into Apple Remote Desktop v3.5.3 and push out to all of the computers via its Unix commands and reset all the desktops to their default image.

How can I use Office Update without the Office CD?

How can I use Office Update without the Office CD? On the microsoft website I've clicked the options which mean I shouldn't need the CD (which wasn't supplied with the laptop), but poartway through updating the service pack I get a request for the Office 2000 Professional CD.
Any suggestions?

Hi
Did you mean a Office or One Note?
As far as I know the One Note is a part of the Recovering Image and the CD is not delivered with the unit. Furthermore the Toshiba units are not delivered with the Office 2000 software.
Nevertheless, did you check the update function in the Help i.e. in Word?
There you will find a options called Check for Updates

Mac address book blank after MS Office update

After using the stupid MS Office Updater on prompt, I find that all my contacts are missing from my Mac Address Book! I didn't even install Outlook but the stupid Updater did. My contacts aren't there though and sync is off.
I tried restoring the Address Book folder in the Library/Application support from Time Machine. Nothing.
I tried deleting the AddressBook-v22.abcddb file. Still nothing.
I tried deleting com.apple.AddressBook.plist. Nope. And the other prefs file, too.
I've tried these things several times, different sequence, restarting, yadayada.
I've been troubleshooting my own Mac's since the MacPlus and never been so stumped! I hate M$!
Ran this in terminal:
ls -aleO Library/Application Support/AddressBook
ls: Library/Application: No such file or directory
ls: Support/AddressBook: No such file or directory
leslie-wintners-MacBook-Pro:~ leia$
(No such file or directory?!!!!)
I will appreciate some expert advice and direction here. Thanks!

Hi sig, Thanks for the reply.
My Address Book was fine before installing this update. The earliest TM I have? And lose all the work I've done on this machine?
I've seen reports that other people had their contacts moved from Address Book to Outlook after this update. So, it seems very likely. Either it's the Update or the PowerPoint I opened that prompted me to update had a virus!
Since I posted, I went to the Genuis Bar, where I surprisingly got lectured about recovery is not what they do, and they could spend only 15 minutes with a customer, spending most of the time on the lecture, ultimately refering me to an expert. He found corruption on my HD and told me to wipe the drive and restore from backup. Ughh.
However, I reran DU and repaired the disk, tested the hardware even. DU reports the disk is ok now.
Yet, no Address Book.
Before I resort to wiping, I'm wondering if I could detect if I had a received a rare Mac virus...

I just made the update with "Mountain Lion" on may MAC. Now I am not able to open all my Word-Documents any more. What can I do?

Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

I have just downloaded the latest "Office" update, and now my xls files only open in "Numbers". Can this be fixed?

You can try right clicking on one of your xls files select get info then select open with, select other then choose office excel and check the box to say always open this file type.
Hope this helps

MAC OS X updater and Office Update?

Hello everyone
I have MAC OS X TIGER and am about to install MS Office. I know that the MSN Messenger 4.0 is included and will work together with the Office Apps. But I also know that there is already version 5.1.1 available online. My question is: Will MAC OS X handle an update if I install 4.0 with the whole package or would I have to skip Messenger and download the new one afterwards? I am asking this because I think the Messenger will work better with Word etc. if it is installed right with these apps and updated later. But I am not sure wether and how these updates work and wether MAC OS X handles them or Office itself.
Thank you for your response!

Hi Jerome
Microsoft Office Updater will handle the updates. Not Mac OSX. If it doesn't handle Messenger, you can still check for updates in Messenger manually. I don't think it would matter if you skipped on the initial download and just download the new version.
Tiger comes with iChat. I don't use Messenger, so I don't know if there are any advantages to having it over iChat. I don't really use iChat that much either, but I am able to converse with people using Messenger the same with no problems. You may want to explore that first.
