The new guide is intended for administrators and organizations who deploy Office in networks and focuses as such on administrative templates. Group Policy information, applying updates or customizing installations of Office 2001.
Operations guide for Microsoft Office 2010
The new guide, Operations guide for Microsoft Office 2010, provides information on how to maintain and manage Office 2010 in an organization.
It is in this regard even more specialized than the getting started guide; the audience is limited to IT workers and administrators who manage Office 2010 in a computer network.
The guide has been published in doc, pdf and xps formats: it has a total file size between 226 Kilobytes and 522 Kilobytes depending on the selected format.
The guide was published by Microsoft's Office System and Servers Team. It totals 23 pages that guide the administrator through various Office related tasks, including:
- Office 2010 Administrative template files
- Group Policy settings, and preventing conflicts with earlier versions of Group Policy settings
- Applying updates for Office 2010
- Uninstalling Office 2010 and installing a previous version
- Adding or removing languages after deploying Office 2010
- Managing and changing user configurations for Office 2010
- Customizing an existing Office installation
The relatively short size of the guide could convince some system administrators to skip it completely. The guide is however filled with hyperlinks to Microsoft websites that offer detailed information about concepts addressed in the guide.
All three different formats of the operation guides for Microsoft Office 2010 can be downloaded from the official Microsoft Download Center.
