Presentation Server

MetaFrame Presentation Server on Windows Server
2003 includes the following changes in functionality:
– The ICA Client Creator utility is not supported. If you want to create installation floppy diskettes for supported client software, you must manually create them.
– Virtual “Scripts” directory is not created when IIS is enabled. MetaFrame Presentation Server Setup installs a .Dll file—Wpnbr.dll—in a virtual directory called “Scripts.” This file is required if you are using the Web Interface for port sharing.
Presentation Server
– Remote users can connect to MetaFrame Presentation Server over TCP/IP only. Terminal Services in Windows Server does not support remote connections over
IPX/SPX, NetBIOS, and asynchronous transports.
– “Restrict each user to one session” feature is enabled by default. When this setting is enabled, the server
disconnects an active session and reconnects the new connection request from the same user to the
disconnected session.
Enabling this feature conserves resources and simplifies reconnecting to disconnected sessions. You can disable this setting in the Server Settings node of Terminal

Forest Trusts
– With Windows Server 2003 Active Directory forests, you can create a 2-way forest trust that will allow a transitive trust between all child domains in the trusted forests.
• MetaFrame XP FR3 does not support the use of this type of trust between child domains. If you require a trust between 2 child domains in separate forests, it is necessary to create an explicit trust between domains.

•
User Access to Terminal Servers
– By default on Windows Server 2003, members of the Administrators and Remote Desktop Users groups can connect via Terminal Services.
• The Remote Desktop Users group contains no users when it is initially created; you must manually add any users or
groups that will require Terminal Services access.
• If the users are not already members of the Computer’s local group it is also necessary to add them.
Presentation Server
•
DO NOT USE THE /3GB Switch
– On Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating systems, using the /3GB switch in Boot.ini is not recommended on servers running MetaFrame Presentation Server.
• Server 2003 systems can address up to 4GB of memory, usually 2GB for kernel and 2GB for processes. Using the /3GB switch in boot.ini changes memory allocation to 1GB for kernel and 3GB for processes.
• Due to the large number of applications and processes
running on a MetaFrame Presentation Server and Terminal Services, kernel memory space is heavily used, so using the /3GB switch causes a decrease in scalability.
