Overview

A simple way to deploy Office 2010 is to create a network installation point and copy the contents of the Office CD onto the network share. Make sure that the network is accessible by the targeted resources (users/computers).

Advantages

• Easier for smaller IT departments to implement
  Network share and network access are the only infrastructure requirements.
  Flexibility — allows users to initiate the installation on an as-needed basis.

Limitations

• Difficult to control and monitor who installs Office
  Difficult to manage installation times by end users and consequent affects on network infrastructure.

Recommendations

Using network file and folder sharing for installing Office 2010 can be a good alternative for smaller organizations that lack supporting infrastructure such as Microsoft System Center Essentials, Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), or available technical knowledge, such as scripting.
