Best Way To Install Office 2003 Install Point into SBS 2003 Client Applications
I'm looking for some advice on making an administrative installation point for Office 2003 on SBS 2003.
SBS comes with client licenses to Outlook, and...Outlook 2k3 and Office SP1 is already setup under Client Applications.
How would you recommend creating an administrative installation point for Office 2003?
Should I delete/do I need to keep the office 2k3 sp1 folder?
-Office 2k3 SP2 is out.
-Was SP1 slipstreamed into the Outlook fold, and so the SP1 files are no longer need?
Should I delete the Outlook 2k3 folder as Outlook is included in every addition of Office 2k3?
or
Should I install each Office program into a seperate folder, (therefore keeping the Outlook 2k3 folder)?
The advantages of having seperate folders are that I can pick and choose what applications in office get installed on each client.
But, it becomes a pain in the butt to keep them updated as I have to apply updates to multiple folders instead of just one.
What do you guys think?

What about the Office2003_SP1 folder? This folder was created and installed by default when Outlook was installed. I assume it was slipstreamed into the Outlook2003 folder. Should/Can I delete it?

I would just leave it... it doesn't take up much room and I couldn't be sure whether or not the wizards look for it.
