2003 to 2007 mass deployment ideas

[jetta878]

Our company is upgrading from 2003 to 2007. I'm new to this so I'm hoping
that a few of you can post some articles I can read regarding a large scale
upgrade like this. There are around 4000 computers that need to be upgraded,
whether through local policy, slip stream, or whatever. Please share your
articles and ideas. Thanks.

Hi, jetta878,

Frankly, I'd start with the Office Resource Kit:

http://technet2.microsoft.com/Offic...8622-4317-b21d-1aa5f72e15bf1033.mspx?mfr=true

The ORK gives you good information about how to plan for migration and the
various methods for deployment. How you deploy depends a lot on your
architecture, user base, technical resources, and how you plan to distribute
updates.

Read as much as you can here, and then you will have better context for any
individual advice you get from people in the forums.
