• ThinManager server can be co-located with the RDS servers or can be located on a dedicated machine(s).
• ThinManager is installed on two machines in a redundant system.
• Remote Desktop Services Role installed on two machines to provide application failover.
• FactoryTalk View SE installed on two machines to provide application redundancy.
• Redundant Domain Controllers highly recommended in a redundant system.
• All thin clients and wireless clients need to be accessible on the network to have content managed by ThinManager.
