You can run office from a network share if you so choose. Create an
Administrative Install on the server, use the custom installation wizard to
create a .MST where all the options are set to "Run from the Network",
deploy via Active Directory or a login script. Not exactly rocket science.
Is this what you call running from the network by copying/deploying file(s)
to
workstation(s)?
Newer and more advanced OS/Apps can run any application from
network-attached
disk without any single executable copied to the workstation. The beauty
about
that advanced OS and apps, it installed only once, that is in the
file-server.
Once it installed, instantly all the workstation attached to that file
server has
instant access to that apps. It is as simple as that. Badabing badaboom.
