TS has Office 2003, Workstation has 2007

[A.C. Buehler]

I have a number of laptops that have Office 2007. The TS is running Office
2003. When the laptops run in TS, all is fine; when they run independently
all is fine, too. However, if I connect the laptops to the domain, the
roaming profile supercedes the locally installed Office 2007, no correct
icons appear for Office, and when the icons are opened, they report that the
application has not been installed. Took me a few minutes to realize that the
profile was looking for the 2003, and the laptop has 2007. Incidentally, when
I take the laptops off the domain, the 2007 works on the laptops, and the TS
connections still run 2003 fine.
I would like to find a way to not lose office when connected to the domain.
Thanks!!

Hello A.C. Buehler,

Did you configure 2 profiles for the users on the user properties tab? You
need one for TS and one for the fat client.

Best regards

No, I did not. I am not familiar with this. Do you know of any resources on
this?

Also, the desktops have 2003, too. And some of the users have laptops and
desktop access, too. I kind of look like this for these users:

Desktop in Domain: Office 2003
Laptop not on domain: Office 2007
Laptop on TS: Office 2003 via TS
Laptop on Domain: Doesn't work with any office.

Thanks!
