[K12OSN] K12LTSP and Windows Terminal Server 2003

[David Trask]

Ok,

My K12LTSP network is running fantastic thus far....no issues yet with
4.1.  I'm trying to figure out how to integrate Windows 2003 server
(Terminal Server) into all this.  Several questions:

First I can get it to work and it works well....but....I'm wondering about
the following...

If I use the -s option to try and limit to one particular program like MS
Word  (winword.exe) then Windows won't let me open it prior to login....I
think I use something like this    

rdesktop -f -d midnight -a 16 -s winword.exe 10.0.6.254

the above command will work with programs like notepad, but not any of the
Office products....is there a way to make that part work?

The sound is choppy and at times unusable...has anyone found any secrets
to making the sound work better?

I invoke it with

rdesktop -f -d midnight -a 16 -r sound 10.0.6.254

Any ideas, hints...etc are appreciated....I honestly think this will allow
me to start going completely with thin clients and ditching desktop
machines.
