Configure Application Server OWS
(Microsoft Remote Desktop Services)
The Application Server OWS (AppServ-OWS) provides PlantPAx users with an
alternative to the standard OWS client machine (physical or virtual). AppServ-
OWS uses Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS) technology to serve
multiple instances of the OWS from a single server virtual template. This
architecture is ideal for PlantPAx users wishing to use Thin Clients as Operator
Work Stations .
This chapter provides you with the procedures necessary to deploy the
Application Server OWS (AppServ-OWS) virtual template:
• Setting up Windows Server 2008 for the new instance
• Setting up the Network Adapter
• Setting up FactoryTalk Directory
• Setting up activation files
• Configure Remote Desktop Services
For more information regarding recommended architecture and the actual
configuration of the Application Server, see the PlantPAx Process Automation
System Reference Manual, publication PROCES-RM001
, and the specific
product documentation.
The required Rockwell Automation software for the AppServ-OWS virtual
template is included and pre-installed in the virtual image templates, but not
activated. You need an activation license for each client connection.
See page 9
for product catalog numbers.
If you already own individual product activations, these activations also can be
used to activate the virtual image templates.
