How do you install office on a ts server so users can
access office?
Running TS on 2003 in a 2000 domain.

Good morning, Vera! Or, better said, Good afternoon to you!

I like installing from an Administrative Installation rather than installing
from the CD.....

Ensure you install Office in INSTALL mode either by installing the
Office suite using Add/Remove Programs or by issuing:

change user /install

<install your version of office completely)

change user /execute

to complete the installation process.. if you do not install Office
using either of these methods, you will only install a local
installation on the server, and no one will be able to use it through
TS.
 
You need to download/get transform file Termsrvr.mst to install office in terminal server environment. To install add argument with setup.exe TRANSFORMS="Termsrvr.mst"
Just try it out.
 
Yes, I do that as well. That is explained in the Deployment Guide
(follow the links in the articles below). Implementation details
are left as an exercise for the reader... :-)
 
Vera,

As usual, you are correct!

If that were only true .... of course this is exactly what all the technet
articles say as well.
But I've done it about 4 times now, and only the admin can use Office 2003.
Anyone else who tries, get fille assoc errors or "no access".
Yes I used add/remove ....
I triple checked that I was in "App Mode" for TS ... just to be sure.
Nothing seems to matter so far ....
W2K Server / Office 2003

What else to try ???
