Have I hit any obstacles whilst deploying MS office
I have not ever deployed MS office, however I have hit obstacles due to a dim-bulb in IT deploying the latest and greatest on the PCs used by finance, and other departments. Here's an IT maxim: if it's not EXACTLY the same, it's different. Don't install the latest and greatest then walk away before confirming the end user is happy and can continue to meet their "productivity" requirements.
