Can I send a command line that installs the SFU to clients that already have updated system files (Windows 2000 Professional, Windows 2000 Server, Office 2000 Public Update 1)?
Yes. Sending a command line will be successful; however, the program will only detect, not install, the SFU. The Office XP installation will proceed without the SFU, because it is unnecessary to install the SFU again. A restart will occur. For example, if an organization upgrading to Office XP has systems that require the SFU and systems that do not require the SFU, then it is possible to use one advertisement, one .mst file, and one command line in the SMS program. This command line (created by the .sms file) must include the SFU portion of the command line. All systems will restart and upgrade to Office XP, including the computers that do not require the SFU. The computers that do not need the SFU will restart unnecessarily, however, this might be an acceptable tradeoff for simplicity in the right conditions.
