block users from retrieving office installation key

  • 772

I am about to give active directory domain users access to a Windows 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Server. The server has Office 2010 installed.

Is it possible for the users to retrieve the installation/product key of Office? If so, what is the best way to avoid that?

Edit: so as I expected your companies keys are on the street when using VLKs

    Use KMS instead of a VLK for office.

  2. Yes, the software is called Belarc Advisor and just limit the user (i.e. don't make them admins on the server). AD should help you with that.
