I've an Excel and a Word Add-In and want to deploy them for a whole company. They are working with Windows Serer 2008 R2, Windows 7 and Office 2010. The network is managed with Active Directory.

The Add-In should be deployed and switched on on all Accounts / PCs automatically.

How can I do that? Are there any special things the Add-In has to full fill?

How your network is organized? Do you use Active Directory for user accounts? – Alexander Galkin Dec 16 '11 at 9:54

If the Add-In installer is an MSI package then you can deploy it via GroupPolicy:

No, it's a straight forward .xlam file. – BetaRide Dec 16 '11 at 14:11
