Install Programs
Applies To: Windows Server 2008
Install programs on the terminal server after you have installed the Terminal Server role service. If you install a program from a Windows Installer package, the program will automatically install in Terminal Server Install mode. If you are installing from another kind of Setup package, use either of the following methods to put the server into Install mode:
Use the Install Application on Terminal Server option in Control Panel to install the program.
Before you install a program, run the change user /install command from the command line. After the program is installed, run the change user /execute command to exit from Install mode.
If you have programs that are related to each other or have dependencies on each other, we recommend that you install the programs on the same terminal server. For example, we recommend that you install Microsoft Office as a suite instead of installing individual Office programs on separate terminal servers.
You should consider putting individual programs on separate terminal servers in the following circumstances:
The program has compatibility issues that may affect other programs.
A single program and the number of associated users may fill server capacity.
