I am preparing Office 2007 packages to deploy to a client of approx 1200 seats via SMS 2003.
About 5% of the target machines have 2007 installed already. I am looking to uninstall Word, Excel, PPT and Outlook off these machines (I.E. not uninstall other apps such as Access, InfoPath, Publisher, Visio Viewer, etc...) and reinstall with the standard set of install bits.
With the Office 2007 OCT I can uninstall individual components that are prior to Office 2007 but not at 2007.
