Only administrators have permission to add, remove or configure server software during a Terminal services remote session.

When you are installing software on a Terminal Server, getting the following error though you have proper Administrative rights on that Terminal Server. You are unable to proceed with installation.

"Only administrators have permission to add, remove or configure server software during a Terminal services remote session. If you want to install or configure software on the server, contact your local Administrator."










Resolution
Add the following registry entry on the server:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software \Policies \Microsoft \Windows \Installer

Value name: EnableAdminTSRemote

Date Type: REG_DWORD

Value data: 1

Base: Hexadecimal
