1. Habibi's IT department wants to install Office 2003 and certain proprietary applications at each location as efficiently as possible.

In a Windows-based network, Active Directory provides a platform for centralized administration of users and computers. Active Directory makes it possible to manage all users, computers, and software on the network through administrator-defined policies - Group Policy.
A collection of Group Policy settings is contained in a Group Policy object (GPO), and the GPO is associated with an Active Directory container. The Group Policy object can be applied at any level of the Active Directory hierarchy. Habibi's IT department can set policies that apply to an entire site, a domain, or an individual organizational unit.
The deployment and management tools designed for Office 2003 ? including the Custom Installation Wizard and Office 2003 policy template files (ADM files) ? work with Group Policy software installation. By using all aspects of Group Policy, Habibi's IT department can make a unique configuration of Office available to all users or computers in a given GPO, and then rely on Windows to maintain users' software configurations automatically.
There are three ways to install and manage Office 2003 applications by policy:
* Assign Office to computers
* Assign Office to users
* Publish Office to users
Assigning Office to computers is the simplest way to use Group Policy to manage a package as large and complex as Office 2003. With this method, Office is installed on the computer the next time the computer starts and is available to all users of the computer.
