Hi all,

I am running a W2K3 terminal server with IE7. It turns out that one web
based application from one of our clients does not support IE7 and will only
work with Firefox. Does anyone have any experience installing the Firefox
browser and locking it down on a W2K3 Terminal server and can I run both
browsers for the terminal clients on the server?

Thanks

I have successfully installed Firefox on a Windows 2003 Terminal
Services box (alongside IE6 & then IE7). We only needed it for a couple
of specific purposes and did not go to any effort to lockdown so I have
no experience of that aspect. No problems at all running either or both
anyhow.

Re: Firefox

Hello All,

We are running FireFox 2 on our Term Servers successfully. But I will warn
you that it greatly increases the foot print of each users Profile and grows
significantly over time. I regret putting it on to begin with due to the how
it handles asp and have seen it multiply our help desk calls for web apps
written to IE only.
