MS software will put the server in install mode when it starts and back to execution mode when the installation is complete. Any software that has the Windows logo is required to do the same. That is part of the standard criteria (I don't remember the exact words).

Even then install mode may not be necessary - some habits die hard, Bruce Willis-style. -- Phil Brutsche [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael Leone Sent: Wednesday, February 26, 2014 12:20 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: [NTSysADM] Installing Office 2010 on RDS 2012 I have an app that I have published as a RemoteApp on Win 2012 RDS. Now, this app has an option to output in Word or Excel format. So the end users of RDS do not need to run Word or Excel, even as a published RemoteApp, but the published RemoteApp needs them installed, in order to write out it's output in Word/Excel. used to be, you had to use a transform file to install Office on a Terminal Server (or so my dim memories of Office 2003 on Win2003 TS tell me). Is that still the case? This seems to indicate that I don't necessarily need a custom install file, I can do it manually. As long as I do the same thing, into the same locations, on all 3 Session Hosts, so the app finds what it needs.
