26 MetaFrame Solutions Guide MetaFrame Servers and NT Domains MetaFrame can be used in one of two ways: as a stand-alone server or as a server on a network domain. MetaFrame inherits the properties of the Windows 2000 server on which it is installed. When you install Windows 2000, you can configure it as a server or as a domain controller. When installed as a server, MetaFrame can be used as a stand-alone system or it can join an existing network domain.

33 C H A P T E R 3 Installing Applications The second phase of putting a MetaFrame solution into production is to install the applications on your servers and make them available to your end-users. To do so, you must: 1. Understand the special demands a multiuser operating system places on applications 2. Install the applications you plan to publish on your MetaFrame servers This chapter includes information to assist you with these steps.
-
34 MetaFrame Solutions Guide As a general rule, follow the application guidelines below when selecting or developing applications: K Win32 (32-bit) applications are preferred over Win16 (16-bit) applications. Windows 2000 with Terminal Services runs Win16 applications through a process called Win16 on Win32 (WOW), which causes Win16 applications to have higher processor requirements than comparable Win32 applications. K The Windows Ini files must be accessed using the proper Windows NT APIs.

Chapter 3 Installing Applications 35 does not replace them. All users have this folder in their user profile. For applications to work properly, utilize Active Directory Users and Computers for domain user accounts and Computer Management (local) for local user accounts to assign a separate home directory to each user. Û To configure existing users to use separate home directories 1. If you want to change the path to a domain user’s home directory, log on as a domain administrator.
-
36 MetaFrame Solutions Guide short, a separate install must be done for each user who wants to use the application. If an application is installed with the user-specific method, no special considerations regarding the storage and retrieval of data are needed. However, because the application must be completely installed once for each user, this method can consume a large amount of disk space and adds to administrative overhead in larger environments.
-
Chapter 3 Installing Applications 37 Û To perform a user-global install using Add/Remove Programs (recommended) 1. Log on to the MetaFrame server as an administrator. 2. Close all applications and ensure no users are connected to the server. Disable further logons by typing change logon /disable at a command prompt. 3. Open Control Panel. 4. Double-click Add/Remove Programs. 5. In the Add/Remove Programs dialog box, click Add New Programs. 6.
-
38 MetaFrame Solutions Guide 6. Enable user logons by typing change logon /enable at a command prompt. Make sure that any shared resources (such as network drives or printers) are set up for each user before running the application. Check the software documentation for any notes that apply to the installation or use of the application. 7. It is generally a good idea to write-protect the application’s directory (and \Winnt if you have not already done so) from all non-administrator users.

Chapter 3 Installing Applications 63 Specifying a User’s Cache Files Directory under a Dedicated Home Directory Only one Windows 2000 user should be able to read and write data to each PeopleSoft cache directory. It is equally important that only one PeopleTools instance has access to each set of cache files. If multiple PeopleTools instances access the same set of cache data, you could experience application exception errors.
-
64 MetaFrame Solutions Guide If you choose options 2 or 3, it is possible for “phantom” programs to be running when users reconnect. This means that multiple instances of PeopleTools are running without the user knowing it. These multiple instances of PeopleTools can corrupt the cache files, causing a system access violation and shutting down PeopleTools. To further ensure that users are safely closing programs when they leave a session, administrators can set an option in each user’s profile.

66 MetaFrame Solutions Guide File ID Limits With more concurrent users on Windows 2000, the server frequently gets Event ID 2009 errors in the Event Log. What is this and why does it happen? Windows 2000 has a limitation of open file handles (FIDs). For each SMB virtual circuit, there is a limit of 2048 FIDs. If client sessions are accessing the same file server, all clients share the SMB virtual circuit; therefore, all clients contribute to the 2048 FID limitation.
