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.
