Does anyone know of a way to deploy MS Office updates across a domain? I
know you can use SUS for OS updates, but I would like to be able to update
Office this way as well.

Thanks!

Is login script an option?

Yes, any suggestions? Would it be a login script implemented via GPO that
automatically installs the update(s)?

You could create a batch file to run the package. It could be as simple as:

IF EXIST c:\ITStuff\patch01.txt GOTO AlreadyInstalled
echo Patch01 was installed here > c:\ITStuff\patch01.txt
echo Patch01 Setup was initiated on %ComputerName% on %date% at %time%
>> \\myServer\MyShare\ITStuff\Patch01\Install.log
MyPath\patch01.exe /MySilentInstallSwitch

If the patch can return an error level, you can add the following as well.

If errerlevel = 0 GOTO UpdateCompleted

:UpdateCompleted
echo Patch01 Setup was completed on %ComputerName% on %date% at %time%
>> \\myServer\MyShare\ITStuff\Patch01\Install.log


:AlreadyInstalled
Echo I am done


As always, this is just a rough script. Test it before you deploy it.

Hope this helps.

Irs not possible with SUS 1.1 at the moment, however MS are releasing WUS
2.0 at the end of the year (yes WUS 2, not SUS 2, its been renamed). This
will update OS like SUS does now, plus office 2000/2002/2003, and other
applications. If this isn't urgent for the moment, I'd wait a few months,
its due for release end of this year/early next year...I think!
