UPGRADES

Upgrading to the new versions of these tools is not supported. You must reinstall each tool to use the Update 1 version of the tools. Prior OMPM file scans (xml or cab files) or OEAT environment scans are not compatible with the Update 1 versions. You must execute new scans to use the newer versions of the tools.

THE PROCESS MATTERS

While we are happy to bring the updated versions of the tools to everyone, I want to keep the focus on the overall goal - that is to help you get Office deployed more quickly with less risk for you. The tools can help you accomplish the goal of getting Office deployed but you must use them properly. What is the proper use? The important thing to remember is to avoid over discovery which can lead to extended analysis cycles. Ensure you collaborate with your content owners to target the content and apps which hold the greatest value to the business.
