Defining the location of Microsoft Windows installation media for Microsoft Office patch deployment

To deploy Microsoft Office patches, BMC Server Automation must have access to a network location containing installation media for Microsoft Office. Because target servers can run different versions of Microsoft Office, you may need to specify a different location for each target server.

Before you begin

  • Prepare a network location where BMC Server Automation can access the installation media for Microsoft Office during patch deployment (SMB Share).

  • Set up a user name and password for access to the installation media.
