Some machines detect an update as needed when others don't??

[Guest KCSteele]

We have a couple groups of machines, the first group are machines that

we own and the second group are leased. Both groups are running Office

2003 SP2. The second group are all created from a newer image, and the

first group are all created from an older image. Both images had

Office 2003 installed into them from a network share. When office

updates are deployed they are done via SMS. For some reason, there are

a couple Office updates for Outlook that only the first group detects

as needed, while the second group does not. This was the case with

MS07-003 and its replacement, MS08-015 (both Outlook remote code

patches).

 

Any idea why only the first group is detecting the update as needed?

Both groups are in the same SMS collection and recieve the same

advertisements. I am thinking it has something to do with the way

Office was installed on the images.
