Hello Everybody,
Customer requests me to find a solution for running an (older) Application which can only used by max. 3 Clients (no more clients accepted).
We tried to solve this by using Terminal Services, but when we try to start the Application the 4th time, the Application tells, the Program is running already at the following computers: SERVER#1, SERVER#2 and SERVER#3. (Note: SERVER is the Hostname of the Terminal Server Running Win2008 R2). I wonder about the Trailers '#1', '#2" and '#3'. Where does they come from?
If we try to run the Application as RemoteApp rather than launch the Program within a Remote Desktop, we found that we are able to run the Program more than 10 times simoultaneously,if launched from one and the same physical machine, running these RemoteApps. Program tells us in that case, that it is running on following computers: SERVER #3, SERVER#3, SERVER#3, SERVER#3...
So my question is: How to disable TerminalServices telling the application anything about the physical Client, running the RD? We set either different Program Compatibility Flags (Value = 21f, see: technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc787360(v=ws.10).aspx) but without success.
Tanks for reading.
