Does the product run on Windows NT Terminal Server Edition?

This article applies to: BlackICE Defender.

SUMMARY

We have not tested with this platform. In addition, the consumer Defender edition is not licensed for servers, only workstations.

DETAILS

We have not tested our software on NT Terminal Edition, and probably will not be able to offer official support on this OS for several more months.

Defender is currently licensed for all shipping versions of Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT Workstation.

We have tested the product on the standard Windows NT Server operating system, although our legal license agreement does not allow this use. Currently, we are telling customers to go ahead and run Defender on standard NT Server systems, but that we when we have a server-specific version, they will have to upgrade the license in order to receive further updates of the product.

This page will be updated in the future with information about Terminal edition. This will include a notice when we fully test this OS, as well as information from other customers who have tried it.

Warning

Be aware that when Defender is installed, it immediately shuts off client access until the firewall is reconfigured. This is good behavior for installation on Workstations, not so good for Servers.

In order to reconfigure the system you must either open up ports in the static ruleset, or remove the static configuration altogether.

The article q000012 explains how to open up ports assuming static filters block everything else. However, this requires knowledge of individual ports needed for the Terminal server. Alternately, you can remove all the static filters by configuring "Trusting" on the firewall and enable "File and Print Sharing". This will re-open virtually all static blocking, but still leave dynamic blocking enabled.
