Installing Word, on a server, running as administrator, forecefully linked to some MS account for activation... Is that really a reasonable solution in a Microsoft world? Smh.

If documentation comes as Word document there is no documentation and a huge red flag for the software.

I don't think that's a reasonable solution

Is that really a reasonable solution?

No. Of course not. My comment was tongue in cheek.

Wasn't really aimed at you but from the things I've seen I am afraid not all Windows administrators might realize that.
