Windows Term Serv 2003 - Cannot Run outlook

rneidhardt · 11-04-2008, 09:37 AM

I apologize if this is in the wrong forum, its my first time on this board.

I have installed a Windows 2003 Server, SP1 CD. Then activated it as a terminal server, and put it into install mode.

Installed MS Office 2003, and ran outlook as Admin.

Then logged in as non-admin user - and recieve message of:
"Cannot Start Microsoft Office Outlook" (<-- Entire message) - right when running outlook.

I add the user as an Admin, and they can access the mail box, but as soon as they are removed from the Administrator's group - they get the same message.

Tried re-installing server, adding all server updates (including sp2) and then installing office - no change. All other office programs work fine, and there are no messages in the event log.

Has anyone run into this before - and does anyone have any idea how to get outlook working?

I have also tried installing office 2007 - just on the server 2003 without termserv - with the same result.

Any help or ideas are appreciated...
