Summary

From NetSupport School version 10.50 a new quick and easy method to install and use NetSupport School in a Terminal Server Environment was included. From this version the Student is no longer started as an Application when each terminal Server Session is started, instead the NetSupport Student Service installed on the Microsoft Terminal Server will spawn a new Student Process for each new Terminal Server Sessions started.
This means that it is no longer required to run the Terminal Server Configuration Utility to use NetSupport School in a Terminal Server Environment.
When NetSupport School 10.50 is installed on a Terminal Server machine only the Base port for the Student and the Student Name will need to be configured.

It is also no longer required to configure the NetSupport School Tutor to Browse a Specific IP address and Port Range to find the Students running in the Terminal Server sessions. Using the new connect to Room option or the Connect to known list option the Tutor will be able to Browse and locate the Students running in the Terminal Server sessions.
