It appears that I answered my own question 2 years ago.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/bf934f36-469c-4c0d-ace3-1696bd548b90/adding-outlook-2007-to-office-2007-via-sccm-2012?forum=configmanagergeneral
Our agency is about to migrate off of Groupwise (hallelujah!) and we are going to be using Outlook as our client. Some of our outdated computer images had just Word, Excel, Access and Powerpoint being installed instead of the entire Office 2007
suite, therefore I am trying to figure out the best way to get Outlook on those computers. I have used the OCT and created a OUTLOOK.MSP file that should just install Outlook and saved it to my local computer for testing purposes for now. When
I create the Application in SCCM and put in some detection methods and deploy to my test group (6 machines total, 3 already have Outlook installed) I get 3 Success (already compliant), 1 In Progress (Waiting for content) and 2 Error (1 Deployment failed and
1 Failed to locate content) All of the users of these machines are domain admin's and have full R/W/X on the share folder, I have also successfully installed previous packages not applications from this location to the same computers). The deployment
has been running for more than 24 hours.
This is how I setup the application: Software Library - Create Application - Manually specify information - name it MS Outlook 2007 and fill-in other data here but don't check "Allow this application to be installed from the Install
Application tast sequence action instead of deploying it manually" - Application Catelog I take all defaults but giving it the Outlook icon. Add Deployment Type - Script Installer (Native) - name it MS Outlook and English (US) is the
Language. Content location -\\sccm2012\INSTALLS\Office2007\ - Not allowing the clients to share the content - Installation program I point to the same location and select OUTLOOK.MSP file and leave everything else blank. Add Detection Method
Clauses to reflect 32 and 64 bit installations of Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 - Install for system Whether or not a user is logged on and visibility is Hidden. Max run time is 20 minutes, est install time 5 minutes. No requirements and
no dependencies.
Am I doing this correctly? Why would it keep failing on 3 of those computers? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Leigh

Ok I think I got it licked. First off, there was a problem with the Share rights. We had NTFS rights set on the folder but the Share rights weren't set correctly. Once that was resolved I still had problems getting the application to
deploy. It had to be something in my clauses from what I researched, I initially had 4 clauses setup all saying %Program files%\Microsoft Office\Office12 and the file being Outlook.exe. Then I changed it to Office14 and Outlook.exe then did
the same for %Program Files(x86)%. Once I removed all of those and just left c:\program files\Microsoft Office\Office12 - Outlook.exe the deployment started being pushed. I still had a few hiccups but I think it was because of my computer running
Outlook 2010 not 2007 (hince Office14 folder) and the other test machine might just have needed rebooting after sucessfully installing and removing Outlook manually with the .MSP files created through the OCT.
I was able to sucessfully push and install to 1 computer that never had Outlook installed so I am calling that a success, now I am pushing another .MSP file that doesn't include Outlook because we aren't ready to go there yet.
Thanks Torsten for your help on here and also some of your blogs that I found via Google.
