Sharing Open Office

[dberg35]

Is it possible to put Open Office on a network share and map pc's so all users are able to use it?

why don't you simply copy it onto their computer???

You can set up an administrative installation point by specifying the -a option when running the setup.exe from the command line. Follow the wizard to finish the installation.

All that's left is getting your users to install it or use an automated process.

Have Fun!

I was looking to have it centralized so that updating it was easier.

Use SMS or login scripts to update the client from the AI (Administrative Image).

Example:Have your users run a batch file like so.

msiexec /i \\server\share\pathto\openofficeorg.msi /qb-

Obviously changing the pertinent parts to fit your environment.

I haven't seen any office suites that could run off a network share since Word Perfect 5.1 (for DOS). Even M$ doesn't recommend you run their products that way.

I think you missed the bus on that feature.

Have Fun!
