Office 2008 Deployment 

 

 

You can create a special .pkg file specifically for deploying preferences. You deploy this .pkg file to 
the home folders on users' computers by using Apple Remote Desktop or by making the file 
available for users to copy from a file server. 
For information about Apple Remote Desktop, see 

 on the Apple Web site at http://www.apple.com/remotedesktop. 

When you deploy a preference file to a user's computer, the file overwrites all older files in 
the target location, including all preference settings in those files. This could change user 
preferences that you did not intend to standardize, and it could be disruptive to a user's 
work. Therefore, we recommend that you deploy customized preference files before users 
begin to work with Office 2008, or you should deploy only those .plist files that govern 
settings for which you want to retain control (for example, the preference files for 

, 

, or AutoUpdate). On computers with multiple user accounts, you must deploy 

preferences to the home folder of each user who has a separate Mac OS X login account. 

Some settings, such as the mail server name, are stored in the Entourage 2008 database. You can 
make changes to many of the Entourage database settings by using AppleScript and then 
deploying the script to users. You deploy the script by using Apple Remote Desktop. To see the 
specific Entourage settings that can be modified by using AppleScript, in the 

, drop the 

Entourage application icon that is located in the Office 2008 folder onto the Script Editor icon that 
is located in the /Applications/AppleScript folder. 

Some Entourage 2008 preferences cannot be changed by using a script. You also cannot 

change preference settings by deploying the database with new settings to an existing 
Entourage user identity, because the new database will override the existing local data for that 
user. 

Users can set up a Microsoft Exchange Server account automatically by using the Account Setup 
Assistant, or they can set it up manually by typing in the account information. For users of 
Exchange 2007 Service Pack 1 ( SP1) and Entourage 2008 SP1, the 

, which 

supports automatic discovery of account settings, makes it easier for users to configure Exchange 
accounts in Entourage 2008.
