Hi Rick, I can help with that. ALEX Subject: [THIN] Re: Office 2003 install and cloningDate: Wed, 8 Nov 2006 09:15:01 +1000From: Rick.Mack@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 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 Ulrich Mack Volante Systems, a division of Commander From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Matthew ShrewsburySent: Wednesday, 8 November 2006 7:17 AMTo: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: [THIN] Re: Office 2003 install and cloning I was thinking Sysprep and moving a mirrored drive to identical hardware.

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. regards, Rick Ulrich Mack Volante Systems, a Division of Commander From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Matthew ShrewsburySent: Wed 8/11/2006 2:17To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: [THIN] Office 2003 install and cloning 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.
