Remote Desktop to Terminal Sevices

[Guest John H]

I've seen this question asked already, and I'm hoping for some clarification.

We have multiple developers who need access to a server on which we already

have installed several apps (SQL Server, PerformancePoint Server, Office) and

have a few hundred man-hours invested in building out and configuring these

products. We are at a point where we need more than 2 accessing at the same

time. Is there a way to avoid having to reinstall existing apps if we

install TS?

 

All the developers are currently logging in through RDP as Administrator --

does this change anything?

You could try patching the registry keys that you "suspect" were added for

the user who originally installed these apps from HKCU\Software into

"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Terminal

Server\Install\Software". I wouldn't advise taking everything as this could

clashes with existing user's HKCU settings if they already have (roaming)

profiles. Just dump the keys to .reg format and then do a search and replace

of the key names in good old notepad.

Thanks for the suggestion -- sounds risky, so I'll definitely try it on a

test machine first.
