Allows Terminal Services administrators to install and configure programs remotely.
By default, system administrators can install programs only when system administrators are logged on to the computer on which the program is being installed. This policy creates a special exception for computers running Terminal Services.
This entry stores the setting of the Allow admin to install from Terminal Services session Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry with a value of 1 when you enable the policy. If you disable the policy, Group Policy sets the value to 0. If you set the policy to Not configured, Group Policy deletes the entry from the registry and the system behaves as though the value is 0.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 (or not in registry) | The policy is disabled or not configured. Users, including Terminal Services administrators, cannot install and configure programs remotely. |
| 1 | Terminal Services administrators can install and configure programs remotely. |
To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Allow admin to install from Terminal Services session policy (Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Installer).
