Re: What am I missing doing wrong ?

WooHoo !!!

Thanks Vera!! I reinstalled the app using add/remove programs in the
control panel and now the user account with which I have been testing is able
to use Acrobat

Now another problem has appeared. We installed Acrobat on our TS not
because we wanted to use Acrobat itself but because another app we use here
must have acrobat (not reader) present to function. When I start the app
with a user that has admin rights everything works perfectly and when I start
the app with a user account I get an invalid license error from Acrobat.
Tech support for our other app has pretty much told me that I am on my own.

If you have any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated. In the
meantime I will try to use Process Monitor to see if I can find any clues.

Thanks again!

Did you start Acobat and accept / complete / register the license

mode*?
That usually solves this kind of problem.

Another option is to download Process Monitor (former FileMon and
RegMon combined) from
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/p
rocessmonitor.mspx
Run it as administrator on the server (when no user is connected),
start a TS session as a normal user and try to run the Adobe
Acrobat.

Process Monitor will show you all "access denied" errors that
occur, so that you can give your users the necessary permissions on
a file-to file or Registry subkey basis.

I'm baaaack !! (OH-NO!)

Well,

I removed Adobe Acrobat 8 from my server cleaned out the program
files and the registry the re-installed using change user
/install and execute commands. The installation went very well
no problems.

BUT my big problem still remains. If i logon locally or remotely
to the server and start Acrobat it works perfectly. If i logon
locally or remotely with a remote desktop user account, Acrobat
gives me a license error and shuts down. The tech support at
Adobe checked the product with me and have nothing to indicate a
problem with their product. They suspect it is a user rights
problem, probably somewhere in the Group Policies.

Can anyone please help me?

Thanks

DUH !!!

What a dope!! I skipped that one.

I will uninstall the app and then install it the RIGHT way.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks Josh!

Did you change to install mode prior to installing the
program?

From an Admin privileged command prompt, prior to installing,
you should type:
change user /install

After you finish the install, type:
change user /execute

If that doesn't work, please let us know.

Help me please !!!! Waaaaahh!

This is my first experience with TS and I am having some
problems.

I added the appropriate number of licenses to the TS
license server and added my users to the Remote desktop
users group and assured myself that the
group had the proper access permissions.

I have been using one of the designated users to test the
whole setup and here is my problem...

The user can logon to the TS server through RDP without any
problems but is
unable to run the software that we need to use through TS.
The software in
question is Adobe Acrobat 8 standard for which we purchased
a volume license
version. Tech support at Adobe have had me change security
settings for the
installation files to "Everyone - FULL CONTROL" and they
even went so far as
to have me change the security settings on the adobe
registry key to "Everyone - FULL CONTROL" but still nothing
!

Anyone have any ideas??

Thank you in advance for any assistance you may provide.
