Deploying preferences by using Workgroup Manager
You can use Workgroup Manager to deploy preferences and define privileges by user, by group,
or by computer and to perform a broad range of other workgroup management functions. It is
well suited for deploying preferences either before or after users begin to work with Office 2008
because you can manage individual preferences in a .plist file without disrupting other settings in
the same file. Workgroup Manager does not deploy entire .plist files; instead, it updates .plist files
on users' computers by writing individual

When you customize preferences, the customized .plist files are stored in the home folder of the
administrator account that you used to log in for that session. When you are ready to deploy these

Workgroup Manager deploys the preference settings of the administrator who is currently
logged in.

Office 2008 preferences and settings that are not stored in .plist files cannot be
managed by using Workgroup Manager. In particular, Workgroup Manager cannot
deploy many of the Entourage preferences because most of them are stored in the
Entourage database for each identity instead of in .plist files.
