Office 2007 Deployment Large Scale
Office 2007 Deployment Large Scale
- We are deploying a large scale Office 2007 deployment. we did a push to 7-8 computers yet, the distribution was only 2 concurrent threads at a time. Meaning only 2 computers were downloading and running the package at a time. Is there a way to increase the number of concurrent packages? The settings for concurrent packages in the software distribution components have a max of 5.
Thank you in advance.

- No, that setting is used to control package distribution from the site server to the distribution points. Once clients receive a advertisement they should start download a package from the nearest dp asap. Do you have any BITS policies configured(in a GPO or on the computer client agent).
If you are doing a large scale deployment then remember that you can configure the office config.xml file to only download the package to the LIS (local installation source). This will give you a change to download the software and spread the load. Then you can create a another program that will start the installation, but this time all action will take place on each client.
