Antwort
You can use the whole scope of service of the DvISE server with the Tobit InfoCenter XP in connection with a terminalserver, but you have to check some additonal settings.

Installation
The installation of the Tobit InfoCenter XP has to be done in the installation mode of the terminalserver. When entering »Change user /install« in the command prompt, you are granted permission to install an application. During the installation of the Tobit InfoCenter XP the file DV4TS.EXE is copied to the »WINNT/SYSTEM32« directory on the terminalserver. This file ensures, that the printer drivers, which are available for each user, are useable in a terminalserver environment as well. In order to publish the Tobit InfoCenter as a published application you have to make sure, that the Tobit InfoCenter XP and the printer drivers work accurately in a desktop session.

Published Application
It may be a little difficult to implement the fax printer driver in a published application as it is used quite often with Citrix Metaframe. Yet, the file DV4TS.EXE ensures, that it is done without many problems as well.

It is very important to enter the command line of the DV4TS.EXE ahead of the DVWIN32.EXE in the properties of the published application. The command line would for example look like this:
"D:\WINNT\system32\DV4TS.EXE D:\Programs\tobit InfoCENTER\dvwin32.exe"

The System32-directory is deposed as the working directory.

The printer drivers
By changing the command line, you can use the Tobit InfoCenter as a published application including the printer drivers of Tobit Software. If a third-party application like Microsoft Word is to be published instead of the Tobit InfoCenter, the printer drivers are as well linked to the application by changing the command line. When printing via the fax printer driver, the editor of the Tobit InfoCenter will open.

In this case, define the command line e.g. as follows:
"D:\WINNT\system32\DV4TS.EXE D:\Programs\Microsoft Office\Office10\WINWORD.EXE"

In this example, the working directory should be:
"D:\WINNT\SYSTEM32"

If this procedure is not successful, you can also release the DV4TS.EXE as a published application and add it to the startup folder of the client. Hereby, the FaxImage printer driver can be activated by any other published application.

It is necessary to define the Tobit InfoCenter as the default mail client when using the Fax Image printer driver or the FaxImage printer driver.

With the DV4TS, you can use the Tobit printer drivers in a published application without publishing the Tobit InfoCenter.

Additionally, you have the possibility of a work-around. You can include a DvISE-command in your fax. Enter the command @ @number @ @ to your fax. It will be send to the favoured receipient without a popup.
