Requirements
PC-Duo Host can be installed and operated on any computer that runs a supported
operating system (OS) and meets the minimum requirements described in this section.
Before installing PC-Duo Host, note the following:
 If you plan to use PC-Duo Host with PC-Duo Gateway, then install PC-Duo Host after
you install PC-Duo Gateway. See the PC-Duo Gateway Server Guide before installing
PC-Duo Host.
 If you plan to deploy PC-Duo Host using a 3rd party imaging tool, you must first
prepare the Host software with the PC-Duo-provided HostPrep utility and the Microsoft-
provided SysPrep utility (see “Install via 3rd-party imaging tools” for more information).
Operating system requirements
Supported operating systems are:
 Windows XP
 Windows Server 2003
 Windows Vista
 Windows Server 2008
 Windows 7
 Windows Server 2008 R2
PC-Duo Host runs on x86 natively and as a 32-bit application (with x64 kernel
components) on x64.
NOTE: The PC-Duo Host 11.x does not support Windows 9X (98, 98SE, ME), Windows
NT4, Windows 2000 and all operating systems on the IA64 (Itanium) processor
architecture. Use PC-Duo Host 10.x on these platforms.
Terminal Services requirements
PC-Duo Host can be configured to allow remote viewing & remote control of Terminal
Services sessions in addition to the server console (see "Terminal Services tab" for more
information). This feature is available when a special license key enabling this support is
installed on the Host (see "About tab" for more information).
This feature is supported on the following operating systems:
 Windows Server 2003
 Windows Server 2008
This feature works with Terminal Services in “administrative” mode, but is designed
primarily to support “application” mode, with a larger number of different users logged into
the server.
It is compatible with Microsoft RDP clients, as well as with Citrix ICA clients.
