A very quick install guide to installing the 2X Application Server.

1. Install RDS roles and set up RDS licensing on your server (i.e. you need a working RDS/TS set up on your server).
2. Download and install the 2X Application Server.
3. Publish your applications.
4. Starting from 2008, configure the firewall so connections to port 80/tcp are accepted.

2X Cloud Portal

The same pointers to installing the 2X Cloud Portal. I assume 2X Application Server is already installed.

1. Install the following roles:
   • IIS and dependencies
   • Application Development → ASP, ASP.NET 3.5 ASP.NET 4.5
   • IIS Management Scripts & Tools
2. Download and install the 2x Cloud Portal. Select the right
3. Disable caching in IIS: in IIS Manager, go to Sites → 2X Web Server → Output Caching. Prevent caching on .aspx (see the installation manual for more info).
4. Provide your users with the following URL: http://WEB_SERVER_NAME/2XWebPortal/Logon.aspx.

Notice

Don't be tempted to set the site's default document to Logon.aspx. This breaks session management, resulting in your users to be able to log in but not start any application.
