So what can we do to get Outlook to open up in Terminal Services. One of the things that you can do is to make sure you have the right permissions to open Outlook in Terminal Services. You can do this by going to start and in Windows XP or earlier go to run and type in regedit32, and in Windows Vista, or 7 just type regedit32 in the box. Next go to HKLM and select root, next click on the menu for the Registry and select the option “Load Hive”. Next go to the place where the users Ntuser.dat file is and select it. After this you will be asked to type in a key name. You can just use user name for the key name. Now click on the hive that has just been loaded and permissions option from the menu. Make sure the person has complete control, if they do not then add them to the list.
Another way that you can fix Outlook is to make sure it is install correctly. So if it is not working go ahead and uninstall Outlook and reinstall it. Now one thing is, is that when you install Microsoft Outlook make sure that Terminal Services is in install mode not in user mode. After you have reinstalled Outlook switch Terminal Services back to user and switch Outlook to user mode. As well you may not have enough Terminal Server Licenses in which this is easy to solve because all you have to do is get more licenses.
