1 The number of users that your installation will support depends upon the host's configuration and your end-users’ performance expectations. Performance results are highly dependent upon the individual host hardware, memory, applications being used, OS and network conditions within any LAN. Host requirements will vary, please test your multi-user environment before deployment.
For additional sizing guidelines refer to the following Knowledge Base articles:
•Scaling vSpace Server Deployments
•Deployment Checklist
For Microsoft OS licensing information see the paragraph on page 3 and www.ncomputing.com/mslicensing
For each L-series device you will need:
•Keyboard and mouse (USB)
•Monitor
•A category 5/6 network cable to connect to your existing Ethernet network
•Optional: speakers, headphones, microphones and USB peripherals
vSpace Server software installation
Per the instructions below, always check the NComputing website for the latest vSpace Server software. The software on the CD in your package may not be the latest version.

498943_v2 |
NComputing L300 and L350 User Manual
•Insert the software installation CD into the host computer's CD drive. In most cases, a window will automatically appear after a few seconds with installation options. If the Windows “AutoPlay” dialog appears (as seen below), select “Run CD_Install.exe”. If neither appears, go to "My Computer," open the CD drive's icon, and start the "Setup" application.
•At the initial setup screen, click the "Download Latest Software" button. This will launch a browser window at the NComputing Software Download Center. Locate the correct software based on product model and operating system, and download the corresponding “zip” folder.
•Note that the current version of vSpace Server is always located at www.ncomputing.com/downloads
•If Internet access is unavailable, click “Browse CD” to locate the installer file per the next step
•After downloading and extracting the installer files, or alternately locating them on the product CD, run the vSpace Server Installer by launching *.MSI installer for a first time installation. If you are updating an existing vSpace Server installation, refer to the Release Notes for specific install instructions.
Installation on Windows 7 or Windows 8
You must have administrative rights to install vSpace Server 8 onto Windows 7 or Windows 8. However, unlike in Windows Server 2008 R2, the actual “Administrator” account is not enabled by default in Windows 7 and 8. So, even though you may be logged-in as a user that is a member of the Administrators group, you still won’t have sufficient “administrative rights” to install vSpace Server 8, and the MSI installer will generate an error message saying: “You need administrative rights to install this software. Installation Failed.”
To check what user account is the right one for vSpace Server installation open the Command Prompt and invoke following command:
Ø wmic useraccount get name,sid,status
Page 12 of 76 |
498943_v2 |
NComputing L300 and L350 User Manual
This will show the user accounts in form of a list similar to:

For vSpace Server installation an account whose Security Identifier (SID) ends with -500 (the ‘Admin’ account in the above example) must be chosen. That account can’t be locked (degraded). Unlock the account and set up a password for it if necessary. To start an “Administrative Command Prompt” for the selected administrative user invoke the following command (the password of the administrative user must be entered when prompted):
Ø runas /user:Admin cmd.exe
To make sure the “Administrative Command Prompt” has been started for the right user invoke this command:
Ø whoami /user
Its output will be similar to:
User Name SID
========== =========================================
Win7/Admin S-1-5-21-3686465141-1345607283-3162306831-500
Make sure the SID ends with -500. Otherwise the vSpace Server installation might fail.
Once the “Administrative Command Prompt” console pops up, launch the installer using the following command:
Ø msiexec /i install-filename.msi

•Proceed to the following sections to connect your L-series devices, register and activate the software and devices and update the device firmware (as needed).
User Account Creation
The L300 and L350 can access a Windows session using either local or domain user accounts. The optimal type of user account will vary depending on the type of environment the vSpace Server host is being deployed into. You can use existing accounts or, if preferred, create new user accounts specifically for the terminals.
To create new local user accounts and add them to the Remote Desktop Users Group:
1.From the host Windows Server 2012R2 session, right click “Start” then click on “Computer Management”.
2.From within the Computer Management window under System Tools select “Local Users and Groups” in the left navigation tree.
3.Right Click on “Users” and select “New User…” to create as many new users as needed.
Page 16 of 76 |
498943_v2 |
NComputing L300 and L350 User Manual
4.Select “Groups” from the left navigation tree and double click on “Remote Desktop Users”. Click “Add” and then enter either the user names you’ve recently created, or simply enter “everyone”.
If you are installing a host into a domain environment which uses domain user accounts, contact your local system or network administrator to have them create any additional user accounts that you may need.
MSI Installer and Uninstaller Options
The MSI installer for vSpace Server 8 has “ADDUSERS=0” available as a command line option to enable silent installs while suppressing the popup window asking if you want to add new users.
