Why not change the services to Local System instead of the ctx_smauser
account? That would eliminate the cloning issue.

Hi Matthew,
Sysprep should be ok.
I've got to admit though that the easiest way to make sure things are
perfect is to install PS4 after the cloning process.
As an example of things that don't work out of the box, hardware cloning
plus Newsid will subtly break PS4 printing unless you repair the DCOM and
ICA listener permissions for the ctx_smauser.
I've got a couple of scripts that do 98% of what's needed if you're using
newsid but until I can port the whole thing to a VBscript it's still "work
in progress". Anybody like a project?
regards,
Rick

I was thinking Sysprep and moving a mirrored drive to identical hardware.

Hi Matthew,
Installing office from an patched administrative install point is by far
the neatest way to do it (tarpon/softgrid aside). Office 2003 comes with
fairly comprehensive group policy templates that are almost too detailed.
How do you intend to do your cloning? Some of the SID change products
don't handle the ctx_smauser ACLS properly for DCOM and the ICA listener.

Rick

I'm just about to deploy a new Windows 2003 environment with Office 2003.
Does anyone have a suggest TS deployment for Office 2003 including all
settings? Should I install from a install point or direct from CD?
Does anyone have a document on cloning a PS4 server? I'm only doing two
servers but I thought I might clone the second server if it not to much
hassle.
Thank you,
