The recommended method for distributing the SP2 update is to first update your administrative installation point, and then recache and reinstall Office on your users’ computers to apply the changes. This is the standard update procedure presented for all previous Office XP updates, and it’s still the most effective way to distribute software in a controlled environment. Details on using this method for the SP2 release are covered below in the section “Applying the Office XP SP2 update to an administrative installation point.”
An alternative to the administrative update strategy is to apply the binary (client) version of the SP2 update directly to users’ computers within your organization. This approach may be useful if your organization has experienced synchronization problems between your administrative installation points and your client computers. Details on this strategy are covered in the topic Updating Office By Using Client Updates .
