Here are the steps:
1. Open a command window (Start - Run - cmd)
2. Type "change logon /disable" (without the quotes) to disallow
new connections to the server
3. Use Terminal Services Manager to verify that there are no user
sessions; send a message to connected users, requesting them to
log off
4. Type "change user /install" (without the quotes) to put the
server into install mode
5. Install your application
6. When the installation is completely finished, type "change user
/execute" to put the server back into it's normal execute mode
7. Type "change logon /enable" to allow users to connect again
Before point 7., you should thoroughly test the newly installed
application, but that's a different thread ...
Description of what happens when the server is in install mode:

I'm hopeful this information (change user /install) may help me.
with some software that only works properly for users if they
are in the admin group. I need to make sure I understand the
appropriate procedure. Am I supposed logon at the console, make
this change and then (re)install the software? Do I need to
perform these steps in the users remote session as well
(changing user to /install seems to require admin priveleges)?
Thx,

Yes... Milo is correct and I like to go one step further
because a lot of times my installs are actually
updates/upgrades to existing software which may be in use. So,
I prevent users from logging into the system. In case you're
not up on this goodie, it's
change logon /enable
/disable
/query
This command prevents users from logging in. Use the TS Manager
to determine who is connected and maybe request they logoff via
a message.

You put the server in install mode to enable the application
to be used by
multiple terminal server users. It enables users to save
their own settings
separately, in a very rough approximation, instead of one
user's settings being saved over another's. The commands are
"change user /install" to move
into install mode and "change user /execute" to get out of it.
Doing this is
equivalent to running the install from Add/Remove Programs.
Also, some (most?) Windows Installer packaged applications
(the ones that use .msi files) automatically get into this
mode, but when in doubt you're better off
switching into install mode.

Someone told me that before installing new software on a
Windows Server 2003 computer running Terminal Services, TS
has to be put in the "install" mode. It was done from a DOS
prompt. The software is installed, and then TS is put back
into "execute" mode. (I think)
Can anyone explain this to me, the purpose, how it works, and
what the DOS commands are?
