Groove 2007 via Terminal Server

[Simon2240]

Having trouble installing Grrove 2007 on a Terminal Server due to the product
activation issue that Office 2007 has on a Terminal Server.

The only version of Office 2007 we have managed to install (Professional
Plus) does not have Groove 2007.

Has anyone overcome this problem with Groove?

Couple of years ago (Mar 2004), I had Groove working on my W2K3 server using
Terminal Services (see blog posting
here:http://weblogs.asp.net/sbchatterjee/archive/2004/03/28/100800.aspx).

Back then, the Groove client had difficulty installing W2k3 servers but now,
current versions can be installed rather painlessly. Seeing that there are
licensing issues regarding W2k3 clients and Office clients - the only
exception (or back route) would be to use RDP (remote) as an administrator
(or similar role) and use the Groove client.

Microsoft does not support Groove running under terminal services. As each
workspace member and Groove account has a copy of all of the data the server
could be quickly overwhelmed by multiple copies of data.

Would the Groove 2007 client be 'license ready' for a Citrix Server
environment?
I recall several years ago, PopG (a company in the UK) had much success with
it.
