Getting ready to install programs

You should install programs on a terminal server before giving clients access to the terminal server. Doing so ensures that you can test each program before clients access it, and can reduce the time it takes to perform program tuning.

If you are installing a program after clients have been granted access, you must ensure that there are no users logged on to the terminal server during installation. You can send clients a message detailing the time and duration of the installation and then disable all connections before starting.

For more information about currently connected sessions, see Terminal Services Manager Overview.

For more information about sending messages to users, see Send a message to a user.

For more information about disabling a connection, see Disable a Terminal Services connection.

Note

  • When installing programs, log on using an administrator account.
