 Sustainable Solutions recommends using [[https://www.dropbox.com/|Dropbox]] to assist with transferring installation files to the server, and as a means of moving mSupply secondary backups off site.

-=== Create Shared folder ===
-To aid in installation of mSupply software on client machines, it is very convenient to have a shared folder on the Server with read-only access from 'Everyone'.  Ideally, set this up on the root level of the Backups volume.  Otherwise, the root level of the system drive will do.  After creating a folder at the root level of the drive called ''Shared'':
+----

-=== Configure Interactive Services Detection (ISDS) ===
-<WRAP center round important 60%>
-  * Interactive Services Detection Service (ISDS) //was// a means by which admin users could interact with the mSupply Service to investigate issues.
-  * Microsoft has done its best with successive version to Windows to disable ISDS, such that even FiredaemonZero can no longer restore it.
-  * This section is now only applicable for older versions of Windows, and is kept here for historic reference - that we might remember the valiant deeds of those who have gone before us in the war to wrest control of our applications from the OS :-).

-Services and system processes run in session 0. Prior to Vista, the console (first logged on user’s desktop) ran in session 0 as well. Vista introduced [[http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb756986.aspx|session 0 isolation]] to protect services from [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privilege_escalation|elevation of privilege]] exploits from the console desktop. Now, the first user’s desktop runs in session 1.
-Interactive Services Detection (the blinking button on the taskbar) is a mitigation for legacy applications that detects if a service is trying to interact with the desktop. This is handled by the Interactive Services Detection (UI0Detect) service.
