Re:Does it work with Terminal Services Yet? (Score 2, Interesting)

At the company where I previously was the Sys Admin for 3 years, I did have success using OO 1.12,1.14,and 2.0 on our Citrix Farm. It was pablished as a seamless application, but it ran fine in a full desktop as well. We were using Win2k Terminal server running Metaframe XP at first, and then upgraded to Presentation Server 3.0, and then finally just before I left last month we moved the farm to 4.0. We had about 40 concurrent Citrix OO users running right alongside Citrix MS Office XP users. Don't get me wrong, there were a couple small hiccups here and there but all inall it was and still is a huge success. Were using roaming TS profiles of course, and then made sure that we installed OO using the network switch for pre 2.0, and for 2.0 made sure we chose "Install for Everyone" during the wizard. I had thought about getting all fancy and using one of the custom scripts to pre-answer all of the little setup questions, but time never really allowed me to. And for new users it was just as easy to just go through it for them as I was setting up the rest of their profile anyway. When an upgrade came out we always had the users choose "install a new profile" rather than the "upgrade you profile". It had the best outcome. Since our users had been using OO 1.1x for about 2 years when 2.0 was released, they were very happy and outspokenly appreciative for the new look and functionality. Yes, I know as IT staff we probably would prefer to stay as vanilla as possible when it comes to Office apps, btu the funding wasn't there for 40 Office licenses, OO was and still is a lifesaver for that small company. They have about 80 employees.
