Need Help with TS Setup - In a crunch

[Guest Richard K]

Hopefully this will not be too difficult but I need some help. I'm subbing

for a guy on vacation for the week and their Windows 2003 Terminal server

died over the weekend. I have set up another Windows 2003 server box and am

going set him to be the replacment terminal server for the week until he gets

back. The new server is ready to go and joined to the network. I'm at the

step of ready to turn him into a terminal server and install apps for users

to use (Office, etc). I have not set up a terminal server in a while and

need some help in the steps I need to take.

 

1. What do I have to do to make this box a terminal server box? Control

Panel/Add Remove/System... Load up Terminal Server and Terminal Server

licensing? I do not have the CDKeys so I am hoping to use it in the 120 eval

mode since I will only need it for the week.

 

2. Once terminal services are installed what is the process to install apps

such as Office etc. so each user will have access to the apps?

 

Thanks for any quick help.

1) It's under Windows componenets of Add/Remove Programs

2) make sure the system is in install mode when you install any and all

applications. This can be done manually through "change user /install".

When you're done installing, please make sure you put it back into execute

mode by "change user /execute". You can also check to see what mode the

server is in by "change user /query". You can also automate this by using

th einstall programs feature of add/remove programs.
