Operating System Updates And Office Updates
Hi
There is a setup with 4 servers (all 2k3). 1 DC, 1 for SUS, 1 for Automatic Updates service and 1 for Microsoft Operations Manager. There are also 100 client PCs that are XP pro
If there are 2 updates on the MS site. One is an MSI file that applies to office, and another is a critical security update for XP pro.
They say the SUS server should be configured for the critical update, and the DC for the Office update.
My question is, why did the Office update have to be done via the DC ?
Why couldn't it be done via the Automatic Updates Service server ?

Its from a microsoft study paper.
I'll type it out (i may have left something important out)
All the servers on your network run win 2003
Your compnay has several branch offices. One of the branches contians 4 servers (the roles are as mentioned above). All servers except the DC are member servers.
The same branch office has 100 client PCs all of them run XP pro and Office XP
MS update site issues 2 updates. One is an MSI file that applies to office, and another is a critical security update for XP pro.
You need to configure the appropriate servers to deploy these updates.
What should you do?
For the answer you have to drag and drop Update 1 and Update 2 on the appropriate server.
It says Update1 (office one) goes to the DC, and the Critical update for XP goes to the SUS server

Ok thanks

This is their explanation....
"since all clients run XP and Update1 is an MSI file that is for Office SP, the DC should be configured with update1"
Makes no sense to me. hopefully it will to you
