New MS Office Deployment Methods (BETA)

(imported comment written by dgibson91)

I really like the new dashboard and wizards. I was really hoping the new “Microsoft Office Source Configuration Wizard” was going to replace the action parameter prompt when deploying office patches, but it appears that it doesn’t actually do that. Correct me if I’m wrong, but if i set the source location with this wizard, then go and deploy a patch it will still prompt me to enter the network location of the shared Office CD. The action will then overwrite the source location that was previously set with the wizard.

What i was hoping for is : Set the office source location once on the pc, then deploy the fixlets and not have to specify a source location. This will simplify things for me since we have multiple domains with different source locations. It would be nice to set the source location once, then deploy office fixlets without worrying where the source location should be.
