Installation and use of IV with Terminal Services, 2/6/03

 

InVircible is very low on system resources making it a ideal solution for Terminal Services, along with requiring far less updates than traditional scanners. For a datasheet on IV please click HERE.

The following applies to the installation and running of InVircible under Terminal Services, including:

Windows 2000 Server Terminal Services,
Hydra
and
Citrix

Installation and operation:

*To use InVircible under Terminal Services, the installation to the TS host server must run from the server console, when logged as administrator, with full permissions!

*As InVircible is "machine based", then every active terminal session runs the same and only instance of Interceptor that is active on the server! Hence, a single instance of IV protects all users of a Terminal Services server, saving a lot of computer resources, compared to conventional antivirus loading of an additional application instance, with every session opened.

*Note that a 'dummy user' should be logged on the server in order to load Interceptor (Interceptor runs as an application, not service), for as long as there are terminal sessions in progress.
The dummy user can be a non-privileged one (preferably, for security reasons), as long as the installation to the host was done with administrator privileges.

*The IV icon will not show on the client terminal system tray, only on the server, where IV runs. The same is true for IV alerts and messages, when reacting to a threat; Alerts and messages will only show on the server, and will be reported to IV Administrator. From the latter, one may realize that IV's operation on the Terminal Services host, is fully automatic, without possible user intervention.
The system administrator should bear this in mind when configuring Interceptor options and defaults on the TS host server.
