If software installers are built to Microsoft programming standards, the installer should detect it is running on a TS/RDS server and automatically switch in and out of install mode (not admin mode). I still prefer to manually do a "change user /install" and then "change user /execute" for most non-Microsoft software. Adobe products (Flash and Reader specifically) do not follow the guidelines.

Should every single bit of software be installed in "admin mode". by this I mean things like .net framework and C++ 2008 redistributable. Or to put it another way , are there any that should not be? yours confused ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
