Requirements
Clients must be running one of the following operating systems to access TS Remote
Programs:
?–? Microsoft Windows Server 2008
?– Microsoft Windows Vista
?– Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 or later
?–? Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2
It??™s no surprise that these requirements are the same for installing Remote Desktop
Connection 6.1, since Remote Programs leverages RDC 6.0 for its functionality.
Installing Applications
Windows Server 2008 includes a few built-in applications such as Paint and Notepad, but
you probably don??™t want to set up remote programs for those applications. You??™ll probably
want to install ???real??? applications, such as Microsoft Office, on your terminal server
and make them available to your users. Installing an application on a terminal server is
not much different from installing it on any workstation, except that some nuances are
involved in getting an application to work correctly in a TS environment??”especially in a
TS farm. You??™ll need quite a bit of understanding of how the applications work and how
Terminal Services deals with settings such as user registry keys and files that get loaded
onto a user??™s profile. We won??™t go into too much detail here about these various tweaks,
but you do need to pay attention to some very important steps.
Whenever you are installing an application on a terminal server, you must first change
the server mode from Execute to Install.
