Office 2013 Pro Plus
Hi,
I've installed MS Office 2013 on Windows 2008 R2 Server that has Remote Desktop (Terminal Services) role enabled.
When I installed MS Office 2013, i installed it as the Administrator user.
Now when a user log into the server i.e. User1 as the remote desktop (terminal services) user and launch either Word, Excel (any of the office 2013 application) and create a comment on a Word document for example, it says that it is logged into Word as Administrator and the comments are done by Administrator as oppose to the name of the user that is logged in i.e User1.
Please see attached image.
How can I get it to display the name of the user i.e. User1 who has made the comments as oppose to Administrator?
Many Thanks

I had never installed office 2013 on a server yet, but in lots of PCs.
I have seen this only when I installed the software in clean installs to use image for new builds.
My solution was to log off the user from office and close it.
When the new user will open its session it will use the user credentials from the domain.

It is still a violation of the Microsoft TOS unless you have volume licensing for the amount of users that login to that server.

Hi Guys,
Many thanks for your responses, however this is happening to only 2 users, the other ~20 users appear to
display their own name when Word 2013 is launched.
The other 2 users are showing Administrator when Word 2013 is launched?
How would I know how many users are allowed on my version of volume licensing? Is there a way to check?
Many Thanks

It is because I've tested it out and it has worked and solved my problem.
Have you try log in with another user to see which one displays after the change?
Will it change to the current user or stay on only one user?
Will it change to the current user or stay on only one user?
Change user /install
Once the software is finished installing you change back to
Change user /execute
You also have to make sure you have a valid volume license that will allow you to install on a terminal server. If not, you are violating Terms of Use.
