I have a native mode Win2k domain with about 4000 users, 600 of them who have roaming profiles and use terminal services for a specific application. Recently, users have complained that when they try to open attached Office documents in Outlook, they get errors such as the MS installer. They also get the installer screen when opening some Office apps.
I've traced the error back to users who have logged onto the terminal server, and I think I can pinpoint when the problem started. We also use this particular terminal server as a backup server, and I installed Outlook on it to use the Exchange agent for Veritas (it requires a MAPI client on the backup server). I installed the same version of Outlook used when the roaming profiles were configured. Now that I'm reasonably sure this server and the new Outlook configuration on it is corrupting profiles, what can I do to prevent it aside from uninstalling Outlook from the terminal services server? Is there a good way to prevent roaming profiles from being updated when logging on to the terminal server? Thanks.
