The Outlook® 2000 SR-1 E-mail Security Update for the Office MultiLanguage Pack helps make sure complete functionality is available when you use it with any language supported by the Office 2000 MultiLanguage Pack.

By deploying the Outlook 2000 SR-1 E-mail Security Update, you can help protect your users against most viruses spread via attachments to e-mail messages, in addition to worm viruses that replicate through Outlook (such as the ILOVEYOU and Melissa viruses). Once installed, the update limits certain functionality within Outlook to help provide a higher level of security. Restrictions include limits to specific types of attachments, heightened default security settings, and controlled access to the Outlook automation code.

General information on the Outlook E-mail Security Update and links to downloadable files for the end-user version of the security update are available on the Office Update Web site. For more information, see the Related links section at the end of this topic.

Toolbox    The administrative version of the Outlook 2000 SR-1 E-mail Security Update for the Office MultiLanguage Pack consists of eight patch files (MSP format) packaged in one self-extracting executable. You can find this downloadable file on the Office 2000 Resource Kit Downloads page.

Prerequisites for the Outlook 2000 SR-1 E-mail Security Update for MultiLanguage Pack

To obtain the full benefits from this update, you need to make sure that the updates for Office 2000 SR-1, MultiLanguage Pack, and e-mail security are also applied to the computers. All of the following components must be installed on your administrative installation point in order for the Outlook 2000 SR-1 E-mail Security Update for MultiLanguage Pack to help provide protection:

• Office 2000 Service Release 1 or Office 2000 Service Release 1a (SR-1a)
• Outlook 2000 SR-1 E-mail Security Update
• Office 2000 MultiLanguage Pack Service Release 1 for the language you support
• The MSP file from this update that corresponds to the languages you support

If all components haven't been updated, your systems will experience certain limitations:

• If you receive an e-mail message with a Level 1 attachment, the name of the blocked file will not appear at the top of the message, and you will not be able to see or access the attachment within the message. (For information about Level 1 attachments, please read the section "Certain e-mail attachments are unavailable" in Outlook 2000 SR-1 E-mail Security Update.)
• When you send a Level 1 attachment, you will not receive a message warning you that other Outlook recipients may not be able to access this type of attachment.
• You will not be prompted to allow programmatic access to your Address Book or Contacts list. Since viruses can spread by sending copies of e-mail messages to people listed in your Address Book, access to the book is denied. This may cause error messages to appear when using other Office programs or when synchronizing with handheld PCs.
• You will not receive a message asking you to allow a program to send an e-mail using the Outlook Visual Basic® application command, Item.Send. All programmatic access to this command is denied.

Applying the Outlook 2000 SR-1 E-mail Security Update for MultiLanguage Pack to an administrative installation point

The administrative update files for the Outlook 2000 SR-1 E-mail Security Update for MultiLanguage Pack are Windows Installer patch (MSP) files that you apply to your administrative share by using a command line with specific parameters.

There is a unique MSP file associated with each CD in the MultiLanguage Pack. You will need to install one or more MSP files to your administrative installation point, depending upon the number of languages you are supporting. For example, if your server supports French and Spanish versions of Office 2000 (MultiLanguage pack CDs 1 and 3), you will need to apply two separate MSP files to update your system.

The following table lists the MultiLanguage Pack CD numbers, the associated MSP file names, and the languages supported by each.

To add the Outlook 2000 SR-1 E-mail Security Update for MultiLanguage Pack to an administrative installation point

1. Download Lpksec_a.exe and double-click the file name to extract the eight administrative update files. Refer to the language table above for a list of file names and the languages to which each file applies.
2. Connect to the server share for the administrative installation point.

   You must have write access to the administrative installation point on the server and the appropriate privileges to carry out the task.

3. On the Start menu, click Run and then type the command line for Windows Installer with the appropriate options for the Outlook 2000 SR-1 E-mail Security Update for MultiLanguage Pack. Use the following syntax:

   [start] msiexec /p [path\name of update MSP file] /a [path\name of MSI file] SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb /L* [path\name of log file]

You will need to run the command line separately for each MSP file that you apply to the administrative installation point — you cannot reference multiple MSP files on the same command line. The following table describes the command-line options.

Updating client computers from an administrative installation point

After you update your administrative installation point, you must perform a recache and repair on existing client computers that use the administrative image. Any new client installations from the administrative installation point will automatically include the updated version of Outlook 2000.

To update an existing client installation from an administrative installation point, run the following command line on the client computer:

start msiexec /i [path to updated .msi file on the administrative image] REINSTALL=All REINSTALLMODE=vomus

You can run this command line by creating a log-on script, distributing it as a batch file, deploying it via Systems Management Server, or using other means according to your practice. The options for this command line are as follows.

 Note    If you originally installed Outlook 2000 on a client computer from an administrative installation point, you must follow the recache and repair procedure described above to update that client. If you update the client directly by using the end-user patch from the Office Update Web site, the client and administrative images will become out-of-sync, which may cause future updates to fail.

Applying the Outlook 2000 SR-1 E-mail Security Update for MultiLanguage Pack under Windows 2000

If your administrative installation point and all of your client computers are running Windows 2000, you can use IntelliMirror® technology to manage the installation of the security update.

 Note    Be sure to test all software updates in a controlled setting before modifying your administrative installation point or deploying the new version throughout your organization.

To deploy a QFE fix or update under Windows 2000

1. Apply the updates (MSP files) to the original Office administrative installation point.

   You will need to run the command line separately for each MSP file that you apply to the administrative installation point — you cannot reference multiple MSP files on the same command line.

2. Open the Software Installation snap-in within the Group Policy Object (GPO) that you are using to manage the existing Office installation.
3. In the details pane, right-click the Office package, point to All Tasks, and click Redeploy application.

   The next time the Group Policy is applied to the designated users or computers, the updated files are copied to their computers.

 Note    You can redeploy a package only if it is being managed by Group Policy — that is, only if you originally installed it by using IntelliMirror software installation and maintenance or if you brought it into a managed state under Windows 2000.
