Hi Greg,

For the 2007 Office system, only Enterprise/Volume license key copies will be able to install and run on Windows Terminal
Server/services.

When I launched any office program, I got this dialog box:

"This copy of <product> cannot be used on Terminal Server. Please contact
your local authorized Microsoft retailer for more information."

Needless to say, nothing would run.

Issues:

1. I presume this is a license key issue and not a product issue. Can MSDN
users get an Office 2007 license key that will allow it to run on Windows
Server 2003 R2 with Terminal Server enabled?

2. When I uninstalled Office 2007 and ran a "detect and repair" on Office
2003 (SP2), Outlook 2003 wouldn't run because MAPI32.DLL was missing or
corrupt. it kept prompting me to reinstall Outlook but no amount of "detect
and repair" or "reinstall" would fix it. To fix this, I had to do an
add/remove components on Office 2003 and specifically install "Outlook
Messaging Components" under "Microsoft Office Outlook".
