VMware tools on Terminal Server

[phasevelocity]

Hi People,

I am implementing a Windows 2008 Terminal Server on ESX 3.5 update 3. (I know that this is not an optimal Terminal Server implementation)

Does anybody know what the best VMware tools settings are for this configuration?

For Terminal Server /Citrix servers, not installting the Shared Folders with VMware Tools appears to be a best practice.

I can imagine that as it is not an ESX feature.

It is not an ESX feature. It is part of the VMware Tools installation. It is a feature you can install.
