[THIN] Re: Quickbooks 2008 on CAE and W2k3

Apologies,
Having actually got to a computer we've got 2006. Mental f*rt, sorry.
FWIW, what I did basically followed this:


Notwithstanding the above, users in the terminal services newsgroups have 
reported that you can make QuickBooks available in a TS environment, if you 
give the users some extra privileges. Here are the steps:
perform a normal installation of QuickBooks (in install mode!)
reboot
enter install mode again (change user /install), start QuickBooks and activate 
it by entering the registration code (this is a crucial step, and must be 
performed immediately following the reboot
go back to execute mode (change user /execute)
copy the %systemroot%\Intuit folder into each users \Home\Windows folder
create a Quickbooks Users group
add your users to this group
give the group Full Control to 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Intuit\QuickBooksRegistration
give the group Full Control to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.QPG
give the group Full Control to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\obja.obja
give the group Full Control to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Quickbooks.application - QB 
Premier 2004 only?
give the group Modify rights to the %Program Files%\Intuit folder
give the group Modify rights to the %Program Files%\Common Files\Intuit folder
Printing issues
Make sure that clients use short names for their local printers if they need to 
print to a redirected local printer. Quickbooks cannot handle long printer 
names.
It's also important WHEN the driver was installed. Apparently QuickBooks only 
sees so many drivers in the registry, so if you installed 16 printer drivers 
and the 17th was the one you need auto-created, QuickBooks won't see it.

Hello

Im most curious about this also as i have not yet been able to get this going.

Nick when you run Quickbooks with multiple users at the same time does it throw 
a message  "Quickbooks is already running"

I did do that but for some reason they still can only use QB when the server is 
in install mode.

Yes, on Vanilla TS. The critical bit is that each user has to have the Intuit 
folder copied to their Home Folder.

Good evening everyone, has anyone been able to get Quickbooks 2008 working on 
their Citrix servers?  I have not been able to do it so far.  I did a google 
search but haven't come up with a lot so far.



Any ideas or suggestions???



Thanks



Jonathan
