Microsoft Office 2004 AutoUpdate ran this morning and caught the Office 11.2.1 update, which was released yesterday. This update is primarily an Entourage update, but given my proclivity to work with Entourage in an SBS environment, so I dug right into it.
The Entourage update relates to potential issues with synchronization to an Exchange server introduced in the SP2 update for Office 2004.
So far, I have not noticed any performance issues after installing the 11.2.1 update, but then I didn’t notice any negative issues with the SP2 update. In fact, I found that my performance with all the Office apps increased significantly, especially when launching the apps.
My recommendation: go ahead and install this update. If you haven’t installed the SP2 update for Office 2004, you need to get that installed as well.
