-Subject: Using a Samba share as an administrative share for MS Office, etc.
-==============================================================================
-
-Problem:
-========
-Microsoft Office products can be installed as an administrative installation
-from which the application can either be run off the administratively installed
-product that resides on a shared resource, or from which that product can be
-installed onto workstation clients.
-
-The general mechanism for implementing an adminstrative installation involves
-running:
- X:\setup /A, where X is the drive letter of either CDROM or floppy
-
-This installation process will NOT install the product for use per se, but
-rather results in unpacking of the compressed distribution files into a target
-shared folder. For this process you need write privilidge to the share and it
-is desirable to enable file locking and share mode operation during this
-process.
-
-Subsequent installation of MS Office from this share will FAIL unless certain
-precautions are taken. This failure will be caused by share mode operation
-which will prevent the MS Office installation process from re-opening various
-dynamic link library files and will cause sporadic file not found problems.
-
-Solution:
-=========
-1. As soon as the administrative installation (unpacking) has completed
- set the following parameters on the share containing it:
- [MSOP95]
- path = /where_you_put_it
- comment = Your comment
- volume = "The_CD_ROM_Label"
- read only = yes
- available = yes
- share modes = no
- locking = no
- browseable = yes
- public = yes
-
-2. Now you are ready to run the setup program from the Microsoft Windows
-workstation as follows:-
- \\"Server_Name"\MSOP95\msoffice\setup
-
-MS Office Sharing - Please note:
-================================
-
-Workgroup Templates should be stored on an ordinary writable or read-only share
-but USER templates MUST be stored on a writable share _OR_ on the users' local
-machine.
