Hello,
I have two computers running virtual box, one has windows server 2003 installed and the other has windows xp, so the server/client based network woks fine, however, I want to know how can I share microsoft office, which is installed in the server, to the client computer. Is it possible to do this with out installing Office in the client computer, so I can run the program directly from the server? Can anybody help me with this issue?

Configuration: Windows Vista Internet Explorer 7.0

Might help you, kinda flaky if you want my opinion. However I think you are wanting to Run, say Word, and save the Said Word file on your Client Desktop/Laptop. I don't know that you can do that...

The easiest way to do it, Setup Remote Desktop and IIS if it isn't already and create a account for each user. In turn they can log into the Server and use Office as if they were in front of it and save the files on the server. In which via IIS you can pull those files to your Client and put them on Disk or whatever... Now there is a way to install Office FROM a Remote Location onto the Client Computer, but I take it you have the Disk(s) and can install it on the Client anyway and not have to worry about using it remotely. I feel that you are wanting to do this to avoid a License Purchase for the client computer. Which is understandable and in which case I feel Remote Desktop would be the best and easiest route to go.

I was unable to find anything about running the Application on a Client Computer and in the manner I believe you are looking for, however there is a Application Sharing option within Windows 2003 I do believe. It has been a while since I messed with it, so I am not sure on that.

Good Luck and Let me know how you do and what you choose.

Dear peerData,

In your message, you said there is a way to install Office FROM a Remote Location onto the Client Computer.
I want to know about that. Now I want to install MS Office 2007 from Server to Client computers, not to install from each individual computers. Just want to install from Server to all other client computers. All the client computers are using Windows XP. Can you please let me know the procedure?

Thanks & Best Regards,
Chris
