If you add ctfmon.exe to this GPO setting and make no other changes to
the office install and registry settings, would this have adverse
effects on Office 2003 installs on Citrix/TS servers?

Hi Jeremy,
 
But that's why we've got group policies.
 
In your TS server OU group policy under machine configuration > windows
settings > security settings > file system, and add file > pccntmon.exe.
Just set the ACL on pccntmon.exe to admin read/execute only and remove
users. 
 
It's also a great way to get rid of stuff like the Altiris agent,
ctfmon.exe etc on your terminal servers.
 
regards,
 
Rick

        I don't know about that. There were definitely some engine
issues with
        ServerProtect that caused some issues over the years, but it's a
lot less 
        intrusive than OfficeScan. OfficeScan runs the PccNTMon.exe
process in
        every session, which is its version of the real-time scan
monitor. In my
        opinion OfficeScan uses more resources overall. I guess it
depends on your 
        particular environment as to whether or not this really matters.
        
        Cheers.
