Configuration Manager also lets you control network bandwidth usage by placing the %BRAND_OFFICE_SHORT% installation files on a distribution point within your organization's network, instead of having users install %BRAND_OFFICE_SHORT% directly from the Internet. Keep in mind, however, that even if you're installing %BRAND_OFFICE_SHORT% from a location within your network, the computer where %BRAND_OFFICE_SHORT% is installed still needs access to the Internet to be able to activate %BRAND_OFFICE_SHORT%.
