Is this available yet? I see most of the documentation for it is on the
Technet site, but it makes endless references to tools that I can't find
anywhere.

Hi Steve,

The Office 2007 Resource Kit is still incomplete at this point (sigh).

The basic deployment tool, the 2007 Office Customization Tool (OCT) is built into Setup.exe but only works if you have an Enterprise
media edition of the 2007 Office system/apps installed to a Network Installation Point (one or more Office product CDs combined in a
single structure).

The ADM files are available from http://microsoft.com/downloads (search on Office 2007 ADM)

The preview copy of the MS Office 2007 Migration Planning Manager set is also available from that site, but I haven't tested it
again to see if it works with Vista or Office since they were released.

=============

Dumb question, but why are those templates ADM's and the OCT is looking for
MSP's? (If I select to open an existing template)

Hi Jay,

MS Policy Templates are .ADM files (Administrative Updates).
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816662/en-us?FR=1

The .ADM files for Office 2007 are tailored for Office 2007 products and can be used in combination with other Windows Group Policy
settings.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/924617/en-us?FR=1

..MSP files and MS Windows Installer Patch files. In the case of the 2007 Office system enterprise editions they're tailored to
Office 2007 products.

The OCT isn't the tool for editing Policy Templates. :)
