…How To… 

Microsoft Office is a very common install on Citrix servers. Although the install is simple, it’s not just a put the CD in and go. Below I have detailed exactly what needs to be done for both Office 2000 and Office 2003.Microsoft Office 2000

You need the transform file (termsrvr.mst) from the resource kit. Download the Office 2000 resource kit from Microsoft (free) and install it. It will place the termsrvr.mst file in the \orktools directory, and that is really all that you need. I typically move the file to C:\temp for the installation.
Go through Add/Remove programs to install it - Add new program, and browse for the setup file on the Office 2000 CD. The path in the dialog box should say something like “D:\setup.exe”, and add to that “transforms=C:\temp\termsrvr.mst”. The complete install program path should look like this:
D:\setup.exe transforms=c:\temp\termsrvr.mstClick next and follow the installation as normal. The Transform file is an .MSI customization script to properly install Office on a terminal server. Certain registry entries need to be modified in the Office installation when installed on a terminal server, so the termsrvr.mst file takes care of this for you.Microsoft Office 2003You do not need to use the resource kit to install Microsoft Office 2003. Simply go through add/remove programs and install that way. It is important however that you note the following.
If you click Choose detailed installation options for each application on the Choose which applications for setup to install page, and then click Next, the feature tree appears on the Choose installation options for all Office applications and tools page. Because Office Setup detects that you are using Terminal Services, the only installation states that are available are Not Available and Run from My Computer. By default, some features are set to Not Available. Do not change the installation states of these features to Run from My Computer, because you may experience problems with the Office programs that use these features.The full install procedures for MS Office 2003 can be found on the Microsoft website here.
