Terminal Server Setup (186570)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Terminal Server Edition
This article was previously published under Q186570 SUMMARY
Installing Terminal Server is nearly identical to installing Windows NT
Server 4.0. Terminal Server shares the same Hardware Compatibility List.
This article discusses setup differences.
MORE INFORMATION
Terminal Server supports upgrades from Citrix Winframe 1.6 and 1.7 only. It
is important that you know that there is no upgrade path from any version
of Windows NT Server or Windows NT Workstation to Terminal Server. Unless
you are upgrading from Citrix Winframe, you must perform a new
installation.
NOTE: In Citrix Winframe 1.6, some Winframe-specific user information was
stored in the registry, rather than in the accounts database. This changed
in Citrix Winframe 1.7, where user information was stored in the OEM fields
in the security account manager (SAM) file. Terminal Server's additional
user information is also stored in the OEM fields in the SAM. Citrix
provided a utility for Winframe 1.6 users called CNVRTUC to convert
registry information to the SAM file. This utility MUST be run on the
Winframe 1.6 Server before upgrading to Terminal Server.
CNVRTUC - Convert Terminal Server User Configuration
Usage: cnvrtuc [/ALL | /USER u] /DOMAIN d
Where your options are the following:
/ALL - Convert all registry-based user configurations
/USER u - Convert registry-based user configuration for user 'u'
/DOMAIN d - Convert user configuration in Domain 'd'
If no options are specified, this message is displayed. This utility
migrates non-replicated, registry-based user configuration entries to the
replicated SAM database.
Several OEM versions of Winframe exist. Microsoft supports upgrades from
Citrix Winframe 1.6 or 1.7 only. Upgrades from the following OEM versions
of Winframe may or may not work and will not be supported by Microsoft:
TCP/IP is a required protocol. Other protocols may be installed too,
but TCP/IP must be installed. During network setup, TCP/IP is selected
automatically and the selection is unavailable.
Sysdiff and Unattended Installation
You must install applications and run sysdiff while the server is in
Install Mode. To run Terminal Server in Install Mode, type the following
command at an MS-DOS command prompt:
CHANGE USER /INSTALL.
To exit Install Mode, type the following at an MS-DOS command prompt:
CHANGE USER /EXECUTE.
