Office database issues
When you first start Microsoft Outlook after you install Office for Mac 2011 Service Pack 2 (SP2), you have to upgrade the Office database. If any corrupted files are detected during the database upgrade, the database utility runs. The database utility rebuilds the Office database. After the process is complete, the database upgrade restarts when you start Outlook. After the database upgrade is complete, Outlook starts.

File location changes
AppleScripts are now copied to the new default script location.
Autocorrect lists are now copied to the new Auto correction list [?] folder location.

Starting Outlook
When you start Outlook, you are no longer prompted to select your Outlook identity.

Command-line installation
You can now deploy Office 2011 SP2 updates by using a command-line installation or by using tools that call the command line, such as Casper or Munki, on Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) and on later versions of Mac OS X.
