Open Office Technology, Inc., is pleased to announce a new version of our OpenOffice-Enterprise management client. The new release adds one new feature, one enhancement, and one compatibility fix. The new feature is the ability to disable OpenOffice's use of Java, the enhancement improves the application messages displayed in the Windows Event Log under Windows Vista and above, and the fix solves a compatibility problem with Windows 2000 desktops.

Upgrading to the new release of OpenOffice-Enterprise is optional. A new version of the OpenOffice.org desktop suite was released on 11-February-2010, and this new version OpenOffice.org v3.2 can be used with either the prior release of our management client, ooewin-624.msi, or the new release, ooewin-630.msi. If you want to upgrade both the OpenOffice.org suite and the OpenOffice-Enterprise client, you can so in any order.

We also have new administrative template (.adm) files for OpenOffice.org v3.2. Upgrading the adm files is also optional. After they are installed, the list of settings displayed in Group Policy Editor will be updated to match the settings available in OpenOffice.org v3.2. This will not however make any changes to your administrative configuration. Any administrative settings you have created will continue to be applied to the OpenOffice.org suite, no matter which version you have installed.
