In versions prior to 11.3, it was stated in XP_Help.chm that the terminal services role must be installed before installation of DeltaV.
I'm looking at the Windows Server 2008 Operating System Manual Installation Document referenced in AK-1000-0092
ftp.emersonprocess.com/.../Win_Server_2008_manual_installation.pdf
While it mentions that domain controller role should be established prior to DeltaV installation, it makes no mention of terminal server role installation prior to DeltaV installation.
Is it still true that I cannot install terminal services role on top of DeltaV? This becomes tricky when the Pro-Plus is my intended terminal server.
The customer only needs two professional station remote clients to connect to this server, so the plan is within the recommendations on terminal servers.
Please refer this question to the Global Support Center to obtain the current situation.
I believe that the TS role must be there when DeltaV is installed so that DeltaV will make the proper connections to the TS role as it is installed.

This is a Windows thing.
From Microsoft:
"You should add the Terminal Server role before you install the programs that you want users to access. If there are programs already installed on the computer, you might have to reinstall them to ensure that they work correctly in the Terminal Server environment."

I'm sure BobHuba's note was directed more toward ensuring the GSC hears from a user that GSC screwed up AK-1000-0092

Thanks everyone for your replies. Uninstalling DeltaV looks like a requirement, but will be less of a certainty in this case.
In reply to Youssef.El-Bahtimy:
For a ProPlus to serve Remote Sessions, it must be set during Workstation Configuration. The Terminal Server role must be installed prior to running Workstation Configuration. You do not need to uninstall DeltaV to enable the Terminal Server role, but you must rerun Workstation Configuration if you did not initially configure the ProPlus as a remote client server. Rerunning Workstation Configuration on an existing ProPlus is discouraged, however.

Great comment and thanks for the opportunity to provide some clarification on our various platforms, @Adrian.
Emerson recognizes that peer-to-peer collaboration and support is critical in the automation industry. This is why we hold the annual Emerson Global Users Exchange AND why we created the EE365 community which offers many of the same benefits (such as the opportunity to solve problems, learn best practices and connect to industry experts) 365 days a year!*
Generally, when members suggest contacting the Guardian Support Center (aka: GSC), it is because they believe a user can be more efficiently helped if Emerson is able to understand the specifics of their situation (such as detailed fail points, system components, organizational or environmental limitations or other potentially-proprietary inforrnation). We've also seen community members request help with potentially-critical issues which should be addressed via our official support channels.**
Our goal in providing multiple resources is to be accessible to customers of all levels, in all locations and with differing communication preferences Ultimately, there are unique benefits to all of these Emerson resources and we hope customers will use one or more that best fit their specific needs.
*Emerson can and does not guarantee that information posted in EE365, a peer-to-peer community, will be timely or accurate. **Guardian Support is a paid support service.
