Form scripting on RDS
- Details
- Category: Microsoft Stuff
Try one thing: install Microsoft Office (pretty much any version) on a Terminal Server (sorry, it's Remote Desktop Session Host, or RDS Host, since we're on Server 2008 R2). Then try to use some advanced Outlook forms - like what we do with IronMountain (formerly Mimosa) NearPoint. Chances are you'll see a message telling you to bugger off - because Form scripting is not installed.
Now - how to get around that. As any good consultant will tell you: "that depends".
As any good question-asker you'll reply: "On what the heck DOES it depend?!"
Well, it depends on your Office version, of course!
So; for Office 2007 Prof. Plus you'll be running the following command (from Start|run or the cmd box)msiexec /i {90120000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE} ADDLOCAL=OutlookVBScript /qb
For Office 2003 (yicks, I know) this is:
msiexec /i {90110409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9} ADDLOCAL=OutlookVBScript /qb
For Office 2010 this is:
msiexec /i {90140000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE} ADDLOCAL=OutlookVBScript /qb
Any other version: look in the registry! Do a search for "Office" in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall . That should give you the value between {} for the commmand line.
