macromedia players flash : Flash does not work with Win Terminal server

Here at the lab, we run Win 2003 server, specifically Windows Terminal Server.
The free flash player 8 does not install correctly. You can install it as
administrator, but then only administrator can use it. If you uninstall it and
a regular power user installs it, that specific user and the administrator can
use it, but the rest of the power users cannot use it. Invidividual power
users can install it, but it does not run. It doesn't seem as if the Flash
Player plugin allows multiple users on Windows Terminal Server (2003) to run
the plugin. I have about 20 users on the Terminal server. Each person runs
their own desktop and Internet Explorer, but only the administrator and the
person who installed the flash player can use IE with the flash player plugin.
How do I fix this problem?

Unfortunatly i've no solution for you but i've got exactly the same
problem.
We have 2 TS Windows 2003 servers. The oldest one works with MacroMedia
Flashplayer V7.0 r19 and works for every user on this box.
But with the newly installed windows 2003 R2 box i've got exactly the
same problem.
i tried installing, removing etc but nothing!

So if you find a solution please post it, i will if i find a solution.

Try this:

Make the user a amember of the administrator account. Login with that
user. In IE, Go to Tools, Internet Options, Programs, Manage Ad-ons,
Mark the Shockwave Flash Ad-on in the list. Click the Update button and
go through the update process. Close all windows and log off. Remove
the user from the administrators group. Log on again and see if it
works now.

Tried this on 2 TS-servers and so far it has worked on both.

Note that you only need to do this once per server and not per user. !!
