Hi =?Utf-8?B?Tml0ZXNoIFBhdGhhaw==?=,

Are you familiar with the Office Resource Kit (ORK)? You can use System Policies
and batch files to change most of what you list, to run automatically when the
user boots.

Other than that, Office will run from Terminal Server.

the more appropriate place for you to carry on this discussion would be the
office.setup newsgroup. This group is for questions concerning programming
Office applications.
