Microsoft Office Document Image Writer on Terminal Server

[Kevin]

Has anyone else tested the Microsoft Office Document
Image Writer in a TS or Citrix environment. When I connect
to a server and try to print a MDI file to a mapped drive
the process fails. If I try to save it to a local drive on
the server or a UNC path on the file server it works. Also
the TIFF function works no matter mapped, local, or UNC.
If I work at the server the MDI file will be created as
well no matter what. Anyone else see this issue? I've
tested in multiple QA environments (some where everyone
has full control to everything). Still no luck. Thanks!

I've seen something similar with a pre-release version of the Journal Note
Writer on Tablet PCs, where setting the output folder to a roaming My
Documents folder failed. The problem was some subtle rights issue, but I
don't remember the details.
