Your company has offices in France and England. The network contains an Active Directory
domain named contoso.com. You plan to deploy Microsoft Word 2010 to all users by using
Group Policy objects (GPOs). The users in the office in France must receive a version of
Word that contains custom options. You need to recommend a solution for the planned
deployment of Word. What should you include in the recommendation?
A.
Application control policies
B.
A Windows Installer transform (.mst) file
C.
Software restriction policies
D.
A Windows Installer patch (.msp) file
I think answer is D. OCT is generating msp-files, which are using during installation of Office products (including MS Word)
I disagree MSP are used for patching. MST are used for modifications, like removing a shortcut from the desktop during an installation.
Ivan is correct, D is the answer. Office is an exception to the common rule that mst files are used to modify (msi-based) installations.
See https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179097.aspx for a full explanation of customizing office 2013 installations. Office 2010 works identical.
Answer B is correct (using a MST) modifications for apps which you could deploy within a GPO without using a script, just the default software installation option of the GPO.
Default with GPO “software installation” you cannot deploy an MSP file extension you have to use a script to do these things.
In a microsoft opinion and within the exams of 70-416 they don’t look further then this.
