Interesting... very interesting.. yes betas are fun... very...
I actually don't have TS licensing running but it does not run from the
console either so would that be a TS license issue? I would not think
so... Microsoft thinks it is a Office License issue. I will get a new
license from MSDN Subscription as I have that too and will see if that
helps.. this is interesting and Microsoft is trying to figure it out
too. So, I will let you know.
All in all, I like it and I do like Longhorn too. Yes, it is no Citrix
but it is not bad... and I think it will only get better...

Got my office license from an MSDN Subscription.
Come to think of it, so was my 2003 AD. But for some reason I had a TS
licensing issue and created a longhorn AD. Oh wait, maybe it was
needing a longhorn terminal-server-license server? Yeah, I think I did
that also. But in my case the problem could be seen in trying to get to
a remote longhorn desktop, before adding in apps. Ain't betas fun!

Tim,
My AD is R2.... Microsoft thought it was an issue with the office
license. Where did you get yours? I will have to install a longhorn
AD and then a LH TS box and see what happens...

Very odd. I do have it running on a longhorn beta2 terminal server.
Have been playing with it via ms's equivalent of seamless windows. It
works OK (but it's not Citrix). I haven't done outlook, but the other
apps work fine. I even created by presentations for Briforum using it,
and showed them using PPT for Office 2003. Needs some getting used to
and a willingness to have it go wacko once in a while since it is beta
code.
Doug - your license issue may be AD related. With longhorn server you
need the "2003 R2" update to active directory. Rather than mess with my
regular AD I just created a new vista/longhorn AD for testing and it was
fine. I don't think this is related to Office 2007.

Yes, I have but I've had troubles with it in a longhorn environment.
It just did not run due to a license issue... I get an error stating
this version of office is not meant to run on a Terminal Server. I
have not tried it on 2k3 yet. I do have it running on my xp
workstation and it works pretty good. I'm sending this from it...
I'm submitted the bug report to MS and they are working on it. Let me
know if it runs for you. We think it was a license key issues.

Anyone been using the 2007 beta in TS yet? I'm thinking of rolling it
out to our semi-test (Technicians use only) server shortly. Any
experiences yet?
