Guest Will Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 After instaling Office 2003 Small Business Edition to a W2K3 Terminal Server in Application Mode, an ordinary user on the box is unable to start Excel. Excel 2003 starts to the main windows and then presents the modal dialog with the error "Feature is not available" and after hitting OK on the dialog Excel quits. The Microsoft page for installing Office 2003 to a terminal server says that you can use the non Enterprise versions of Office as long as the users have individual licenses to use Office, and that is the case here. There are only two Excel users on this machine and both have licenses reserved to this one computer. Is there some trick to getting Excel to work for ordinary users in a Terminal Server install? -- Will

Can an admin use the Excel? So the solution to our problem was that until you Activate Office, only the administrator can use it. Probably Microsoft should work on putting up a relevant error dialog for this case (i.e., a normal user attempting to use the software before activation is done). -- Will > Will wrote: >> After instaling Office 2003 Small Business Edition to a W2K3 Terminal >> Server >> in Application Mode, an ordinary user on the box is unable to start >> Excel. >> Excel 2003 starts to the main windows and then presents the modal dialog >> with the error "Feature is not available" and after hitting OK on the >> dialog >> Excel quits. >> >> The Microsoft page for installing Office 2003 to a terminal server says >> that >> you can use the non Enterprise versions of Office as long as the users >> have >> individual licenses to use Office, and that is the case here.
