When installing AVG on a Terminal Server, it is generally not necessary to proceed differently than on workstations. There is only one component in AVG which will run separately for each user the AVG Tray application and its effect on the system performance is minimal even when running in multiple instances.
There are some other server applications running on the Terminal Server, it is recommended to skip installation of the AVG component that could affect their functionality:
AVG Online Shield
This component affects all HTTP, HTTPS and PROXY communication, because it scans communication on all respective ports/sockets. If there is a web server, proxy server or ISA server running on the Terminal Server, please install AVG without the Online Shield component.
AVG LinkScanner
This component affects communication in almost the same way as AVG Online Shield and is not designed for use in a server environment.
AVG Personal Email Scanner
The Personal Email Scanner captures and scans all communication on ports 110, 143 and 25 (POP3, IMAP and SMTP) by default. If there is a POP3/SMTP Email Server installed on the Terminal Server (or any other application communicating on these ports), it is recommended to skip installation of this component.
AVG Firewall
AVG Firewall is not designed for server solutions, similar to the above mentioned components. Please skip installation of this component.
To install AVG without these components, you can either run the Custom installation and manually choose which components you wish to install, or use the following parameters when running the AVG installation file on the server:
- installation without Online Shield
avg_*.exe /REMOVE_FEATURE fea_AVG_HttpScanner - installation without AVG LinkScanner
avg_*.exe /REMOVE_FEATURE fea_AVG_LinkScanner - installation without Personal Email Scanner
avg_*.exe /REMOVE_FEATURE fea_AVG_EMC - installation without AVG Firewall
avg_*.exe /REMOVE_FEATURE fea_AVG_Firewall
These parameters can be combined to achieve an installation that suits your Terminal Server use.
