is there a way to automate the office 2000 install and apply the outlook 2003 update to it? i dislike having to install both one at a time when we get a new pc in (we are running 2k and outlook 2003 cause were almost out of 2003 licences )

you can slipstream the updates to your Offcie setup. As for automating the install if you want to do this when installing your system you may want to take a look here http://unattended.msfn.org/

yeah i wanted to slip them into ofice 2000. all the new pc's we get are dells so we dont really need to slip when i need to reinstall. i do know how to do that portion tho i did it last year good thing to learn too

edit: do i need a certian switch for sliping them into office 2000? /a ?
