Application - Terminal Server compatible

Does an application needs to be terminal server compatible for us to virtualize using softgrid ?.

That would probably depend on whether you are going to stream to a Terminal Server or not. [:)]

Streaming to Windows XP Pro should not require terminal server compatibility.

To a point - some apps check for TS environment and refuse to run if they detect one. That you may not be able to get around.
For (poorly written) apps that store user-specific data in a static location (e.g. off the C:\, or in %ProgramFiles%), you should be able to get around the concurrency requirement if you sequence properly.

Some of the TS-unlikely apps that pop to my head are VPN clients of different flavors...

SoftGrid / App-V or any application virtualization can usually help applications that are not TS compatible run on a terminal server by isolating files, registry and COM objects to be per-user but as mentioned in this thread if the application checks to see if the system is a terminal server you'll have some challenges to overcome.
Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,
so that the conversation will remain readable.
