The 2X Terminal Server Agent Service

NOTE: The terminal servers do not require any configuration. The agent will collect the information required by the 2X Publishing Agent. The 2X Terminal Server Agent also forwards the necessary information to the 2X Publishing Agent using the information collected.

Once you have finished this step, select a terminal server and click the ‘Check Agent’ button. If the 2X Publishing Agent can communicate with the 2X Terminal Server Agent running on the terminal server, you will receive this message:
