Microsoft Windows Terminal Server (with or without Citrix MetaFrame)

Reflection NFS Client versions 11.0 or higher runs on Windows Terminal Server (WTS). When installed in this environment, the following functions must be performed by an administrator, at the WTS terminal (not remotely):

  • NFS Client installation
  • Modifications to the global NFS Client Properties
  • NFS mapped drives, login names, and passwords (if password caching is enabled) are maintained on a per user basis.

At this time, no testing has been done with Reflection NFS Client in a Citrix environment.

Versions prior to 11.0 are not compatible with Microsoft Terminal Server (with or without Citrix MetaFrame). Version 10.x automatically detects the operating system during installation, and will not install on WTS. Prior versions do not automatically detect the WTS environment. If you try to install an older version of Reflection NFS in this environment, you will see the following error message:

Initialization of dynamic link library...\event32.dll failed. The process is terminating abnormally.
