Deploying Office 2003 on Terminal Server

Hi

I'm trying to deploy Office 2003 on a new Terminal Server (Windows
Server 2003).

I have created an admin install of Office. I have created an MST file
using the custom install wizard, with several settings specified,
including the Outlook profile.

I used the following command-line to install:

\\path\to\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=\\path\to\my.pst /qb-

After installation completes, I run Word and it prompts for my user
name and initials, and the custom settings I specified in the MST file
are in effect, e.g. "Show full menus".

If I log in with a different user account and run Word, it does not
prompt for user name and initials, instead using the name I entered
when I ran it previously, and "Show full menus" is disabled, i.e. my
custom settings are not being applied.

I have also tried uninstalling Office and deploying it via a GPO with
the transform file, with the same results.

ALLUSERS is set to 2 in the MST, and I even tried specifying ALLUSERS=2
on the command-line.

All I want is for the MST file's settings to apply to all users
initially, but each user's settings should be part of their own
profile. What am I doing wrong?

Graeme.
