Pushing down Applications to Terminal Servers

[Minus Human]

Hello all,

i have a strange problem (to me atleast) I'm pushing down office 2003 to users.

when user A logs onto a desktop PC, it all works fine the application gets installed as required.

Now the problem is as soon a user A logs on to a terminal Server - the Application does not install itself as would happen on the desktop PC.

How can i solve this issue ? without this i'm bust this has to work.

Thanks

Terminal Server needs to be switched into install mode to install applications. Check to see if it is.

Two common ways to do this are:

1) Install Office 2003 through Add/Remove Programs applet in Control Panel

2) Go to cmd prompt, type change user /install

Run Office installation

Go back to cmd prompt, type change user /execute

Close cmd window

Note: To install Office on a Terminal Server requires a different kind of license than installing it on a PC, obviously cuz multiple users will use the same physical installation.

Good luck.
