Application Compatibility Scripts for Windows NT Server, Terminal Server Edition 24

The amount of work it will take to bring an application in line with the Terminal

Server guidelines varies from one application to another. If an application was

designed to operate in a multi-user network environment, chances are it will take

very little tweaking to turn it into an application that is optimized for Windows NT

Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition.. This is what Application Compatibility scripts

are designed for.

This document has presented a variety of guidelines and suggestions for using and

developing applications compatibility scripts for the Terminal Server environment.

All of these guidelines and suggestions should be taken into consideration when

you develop 32-bit applications; however, the three main points you should

remember about the Terminal Server environment are:

• Registry Settings - Applications keep configuration information in a system

database called the registry. The two most important sections of the registry

are called HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER. Being

aware of the differences between these two locations and the impact they have

on the application is critical to optimal performance

• Files - The files and directories an application uses can also cause problems.

Primarily, the issue is with applications that use public locations for per-user

files. It is important to be able to find the files that are inaccessible for whatever

reason and make them available to the application/user.

• Object - Windows applications can create objects (such as Events, Devices,

Semaphores, and Sections) which are used to communicate with other

applications. Each object has a name which is globally visible on the system.

This can create a problem similar to shared files. Take this into account

By taking these points into consideration, System Administrators, developers, etc.

can make the most of their a pplications in the Terminal Server enviro nment.
