Hello,

I have an RDS server (Windows 2012 R2).
I would like to know if I can use my WAPT 1.7 server to keep applications up to date and install them?

Are there any prerequisites?

For example, how do the "change user /install" / "change user /execute" commands work?

I installed the applications on the D: drive; is there anything special I need to do in WAPT for it to do the same thing? (Currently, I'm using it exclusively with the workstation, which only has a C: drive.)

Thank you.

It behaves identically to a user workstation, except that it will probably not be shut down often, and therefore waptexit.exe will not launch when the workstation is shut down. A scheduled task will therefore be needed to perform a wapt-get upgrade at night.

I confess I don't quite understand. If you are referring to the user environment configuration, the session_setup() function behaves identically to a standard user workstation.

It depends on the application and its installer. If there are flags to easily change the installation path, you'll just need to modify the packages to pass the new value to the installers. If there are no installation flags in your software installers, it will be more complicated.
