Setup Terminal Sessions for Workstations

Description

Creating a Remote Desktop Connection will allow PC workstations to connect to the server using a terminal session. This is the recommended method of operating multiple users of Inventory Controller XE. 

Using the connection setup below the workstation will login and immediately open the TSLauncher application. When the user closes ICXE in their session, the session will automatically log off. This method of application access restricts users from other parts of the windows server that may not concern them.
