Citrix & Word 1

[NikeGuy23]

I have a published desktop with users having access to Word and Excel. Ever since accpeting the EULA under the administrator account the default name on the program is Administrator. So whenever a user opens a file that is already opened up it says in use by administrator. Is there a way so Words get's registered to the user who has logged in and not just the default Administrators account?
Thanks

Hi,

I'm sorry I don't have any ideas as such - you might have a bit of luck in one of these forums:

Forum68 (Microsoft Office)
Forum621 (NT Workstation)
Forum616 (Windows 2000)

Sorry I couldn't be more help

Tom

I had the same thing happend 2 me whenever I upgraded our Office 2000 to Office XP. It placed my username for author on every document opened or created.

Here is how I fixed it.
Create a transform file with the ORK kit for Office 2k or xp.
Go ahead and run install plus the "setup.exe TRANSFORMS=" syntax. Here is where you need to pay attention. Whenever it comes up and asks to put in a cd key plus username and initials.....REMOVE "Administrator" or w/e user name you see there. Put in your cd key and then continue with the install. That way, whenever a end-user opens up word, excel, outlook, powerpoint..it will customize the app for their username.

That should take care of it.
Let me know if it works...g/l!

I had the same problem. Assuming you installed office 2K per microsoft's intructions, this may help you. Article 186498 refers to adding a registry key to pass the user name rather than the machine name to office.
