Sarah,
I might jump in here for a second.
First of all, the idea of a Terminal Server is generally a really good
idea.
I have been using Terminal Server for the last 15 months or so and it is
generally a great thing. As Kevin mentioned, you can no longer install
Terminal Server in Application Mode ( err, that is the WIN2000
terminology.... ) on the SBS2003 Server itself. There are some very good
reasons for this. You would need a second server that would be the
Terminal
Server. On SBS2000 you can indeed do this - but again, not generally a
good
idea to run Terminal Server in Application Mode on a Domain Controller....
However, since you have powerful workstations, you have a really good
point
/ question as to why do you would want to turn them into thin clients. I
would probably not want to do that! Du hast schon das Geld ausgegeben!
Secondly, you can indeed make an Administrative Installation of Office
2003
on your Server and install that application on each workstation from that
Admin Installation. The advantages of doing this are 1) you have a
common,
accessible installation point and 2) you do not have to worry about losing
the Office 2003 CD! However, the disadvantage of doing this (

||
||| Is it possible to run office from a server?
|||
||| We just purchased 10 brand new PC with Windows XP Pro Pre-installed,
||| an a server with ample of memory and disk space.
|||
||| We also purchase a 15-user license of Microsoft Office 2003
||| Professional.
|||
||| Instead of installing MS Office 2003 on all the workstation, is
||| there
||| a way to run Office from a server?
|||
||| I know of the terminal services/citrix way but that is out of the
||| question as it will add cost per client.

SBS2003 without an additional server and TS cals.
You don't have the parts to do this.
So why not install office directly on the workstations? When WUS comes
out you can still centrally patch.run.Ifyou want a pure server solution, it will not work.
How many specific file(s) are you talking about? Do you have a list of what
specific files are you mentioning?
Thanks

Windows 2003 (or whatever version of Windows you have) Terminal Services
white papers.
