Terminal Server Application Installation Tips
-
Make sure your
Windows Server OS and Active Directory Infrastructure are setup
securely.
-
Make sure the application you want to install is
supported in a Terminal Services Environment,
and on your specific version of Windows Server.
Although it is possible to get just about any 32
bit Windows application to run on a Terminal
Server, it's best to check with the software
manufacturer before testing your application, as
they may have specific instructions for a
terminal services installation.
Always test the software you plan on deploying
(via Terminal Services or Citrix) in a lab
environment before installing it on a production
application server.
Make sure you have
a backup (preferably image based) of your production application servers
before installing new programs.
Make sure your terminal server is in Application
Server Mode (Windows 2000 Server) or has the
role of Terminal Server (Windows Server 2003)
before installing your software (unless this
server is used specifically for remote
administration)
Make sure the terminal server is in "Install
Mode" before installing software. This can be
accomplished by initiating the install routine
via "Add/Remove Programs" or by manually placing
the server in "Install Mode" with the
cmd
prompt utlility
"change user /install". After the install is
complete you place the server back in "execute
mode" via "change user /execute".
If you're using Citrix MetaFrame
Presentation Server XP Enterprise Edition, Presentation Server 3.0
Enterprise Edition,
or
Presentation Server 4.0
Enterprise Edition, use the Installation Manager to deploy your
applications from an Administrative Installation
Point to selected servers in your farm.
