Installing MS Office on an application server

[erpentz]

I have a bunch of slow PC's and do not want to load MS Ofice 2000 on each of them. I know that you can do an administrative install of Office on a central share so I do not have to use the disks to setup each machine, but I am looking for a way to actually run office from the server. Any ideas out there?

well if you want full office capabilities without full installs, you can buy microsoft terminal server and then run the terminal client on each box. check out terminal server or citrix.

if you just want to make the files accessible (e.g., automatically convert the documents or spreadsheets into html so they can be viewed in a browser), check out badblue (

which you can try for free from the site.
