Network install source changed

Sorry if this is documented anywhere and I missed it...

I've got half a dozen Office installations that were installed over a
LAN. I am building a new server to replace my old DC/fileserver, this
new machine will be hosting the installation files rather then the
original DC/fileserver.

Is it just a matter of updating the registry, replacing
\\oldserver\office2003 with \\newserver\office2003?

In all cases the PCs are WinXP SP2, Office 2003 SP1.

I found the following three keys that contain the URL, do I need to
update all of them?

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\Internet\LocationOfComponents
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Registration\{CLID}\SmartSourceDir
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\Delivery\SourceEngine\Downloads\junk-numbers\S\Path

Thanks in advance. For the record, feel free to refer me to a MSKB or
other documentation online. I'm happy to RTFM, I just haven't found the
FM yet.
