Deploying Office XP on Windows Terminal Services

 

Microsoft® Windows NT® 4.0 Terminal Server and Terminal Services–enabled Microsoft Windows® 2000 Server provide a thin-client solution for Windows-based programs. Terminal Server and Terminal Services run applications and display the application's user interface on a client computer. For example, users who have computers with limited disk space, memory, or processing speed can connect to a Terminal Services computer and use Microsoft Office XP applications as if the applications were running on the local computer.


Note    Installation of Office XP on a Terminal Services–enabled system requires the use of the Application Server mode configuration. A computer configured for Remote Administration mode is not recognized by Office XP Setup; Office XP will install as if it were being installed to a generic workstation.

Also, it is recommended to use Windows 2000 compatibility mode for Terminal Services when installing to a Windows 2000 server to preserve a locked-down state of the registry.


How Office XP works with Terminal Services

With Terminal Services, you can install a single copy of Office XP on a Terminal Services–enabled computer. Then, instead of running Office locally on a single user's computer, multiple users connect to a server and run Office from there.
