Export or Import Configuration

  • Article

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

You can copy the list of RemoteApp programs and deployment settings from one terminal server to another terminal server. You might want to do this if you want to configure multiple terminal servers identically to host RemoteApp programs, for example, in a terminal server farm.

Membership in the local Administrators group on both the source and the target terminal server, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure. Review details about using the appropriate accounts and group memberships at Local and Domain Default Groups (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=83477).

To export the RemoteApp Programs list and deployment settings

  1. Start TS RemoteApp Manager.

  2. In the Actions pane, click Export RemoteApp Settings.

  3. Select either of the following options:

    • Export the RemoteApp Programs list and settings to another terminal server

      If you select this option, enter the name of the terminal server that you want to export the settings to in the Terminal server name box. For the export operation to succeed, the source terminal server must have Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) access to the target terminal server.

Important

When you click OK, the RemoteApp Programs list and deployment settings will be automatically overwritten on the target terminal server. 

  - **Export the RemoteApp Programs list and settings to a file**  
      
    If you select this option, click **OK**. In the **Save As** dialog box, specify a location to save the .tspub file, and then click **Save**.

To import the RemoteApp Programs list and deployment settings

  1. Start TS RemoteApp Manager.

  2. In the Actions pane, click Import RemoteApp Settings.

  3. Select either of the following options:

    • Import the RemoteApp Programs list and settings from another terminal server

      If you select this option, enter the name of the terminal server that you want to import the settings from in the Terminal server name box, and then click OK. For the import operation to succeed, the source terminal server must have WMI access to the target terminal server.

    • Import the RemoteApp Programs list and settings from a file

      If you select this option, click OK. In the Open dialog box, locate and then click the .tspub file that you want to import, and then click Open.

If you import a configuration, and the target terminal server does not have a program in the RemoteApp Programs list installed or the program is installed in a different folder, the program will appear in the RemoteApp Programs list. However, the name will be displayed with strikethrough text.

Note

Only the RemoteApp Programs list and deployment settings are exported or imported. Any .rdp files or Windows Installer packages that were created from the programs will not be exported or imported. You must create new .rdp files or Windows Installer packages on each terminal server, unless the server is a member of a terminal server farm. If you specified a farm name when you created the .rdp files or Windows Installer packages, and the server where you want to copy the files to is a member of the same terminal server farm, you can manually copy the files.
