Applications Compatibility Scripts for Windows NT Server, Terminal
Server Edition
Application tuning tasks must occur at two different times: when the application is
installed and when a user logs into the system.
When the application is installed, the administrator may need to do several things:
♦ Update any paths which might cause problems.
♦ Register DLLs and Executables as System Global.
♦ Change Compatibility Flags.
Many of these tasks can be automated using installation scripts. As mentioned,
Terminal Server already includes scripts for various products. You may need to
update the scripts before running them, because they make assumptions about
your environment. For example, Microsoft Office 97 assumes you installed the
application into its default directory \Program Files\Microsoft Office. If your
installation uses a different path, you will need to change the scripts. Note that the
application compatibility user logon scripts are matched to the installation scripts. If
you change information in the installation script, you will often need to make a
corresponding change in the user logon script. Any changes that may be needed
will be clearly indicated at the top of the script.
When running an installation script, you should be in install mode. If the system
isn’t currently in install mode (you can use “change user /query” to determine this),
use the “change user /install” command to enter install mode. Run the appropriate
script. When the script completes, use “change user /execute” to return to execute
mode.
The install scripts which are included with Terminal Server may be found in
the %systemroot%\Application Compatibility Scripts\install directory.
Each time a user logs on, in addition to mapping the user’s home directory to a
drive letter, the logon script may need to perform application specific tasks.
Examples of these tasks include:
♦ Creating sub-directories in the user’s home directory.
♦ Copying files from a “master” location to the user’s home directory.
♦ Setting permissions on particular files.
The user logon scripts which are included with Terminal Server may be found
in the %systemroot%\Application Compatibility Scripts\logon directory.
