Following the General Availability (GA) of Office 2010, Microsoft has provided a range of content designed to streamline the adoption of the productivity suite. “Operations guide for Microsoft Office 2010” is an illustrative example in this regard, with the company offering customers looking to embrace Office 2010 guidance on how to maintain and manage the suite in their organization. Obviously, the documentation is set up to simplify administrative tasks related to Office 2010 after the product has been deployed within an IT infrastructure.

“This book provides information about how to maintain and manage your installation after you have deployed Microsoft Office 2010. The audience for this book includes IT generalists, IT operations, help desk and deployment staff, IT messaging administrators, and consultants,” Microsoft stated.

IT admins will be able to tap a variety of information, including how to maintain and update Office 2010, but also details about the Office 2010 Administrative Template files (ADM,ADMX, ADML) and Office Customization Tool. At the same time, the Redmond company describes various tasks such as applying refreshes to the latest iteration of its productivity suite, but also removing Outlook 2010 in favor of an older version, and even installing and uninstalling languages after Office 2010 is in place.

Tasks such as the management of users' configurations for Office 2010 are also dealt with in the whitepaper, just as the need to modify configurations after deploying the productivity suite. “After you install Office 2010 on users' computers, you can make changes to the installation by using the same tool that you used to customize the installation originally. By running the Office Customization Tool (OCT) and creating or modifying a Setup customization file (.msp file), you can customize the Office installation. For example, you can add or remove features, modify user settings, or add or remove files or registry entries,” Microsoft stated.
