I've just completed an install of Windows 2003 R2 Server Standard x64
Edition. I did also install the Terminal Server role on this server and I
followed "Deploying Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server to Host User Desktops
in a SBS 2003 Environment." During the install, I was never asked which mode
to install TS in. I need to deploy applications and not just remote admin.
How do I determine which mode I actually installed? I cannot locate this and
I know it must be basic.

Thanks.

Re: How to Determine Terminal Server Mode

With the introduction of 2003, terminology for Terminal Services
has changed. What was called "Terminal Services in Application
Server mode" on W2K is now simply called "Terminal Services".
What was called "Terminal Services in Remote Administration mode"
on W2K is now called "Remote Desktop for Administration". This mode
is already pre-installed, and has only to be enabled.

So the fact that you installed the Terminal Services role means
that you are in "application server mode".

Re: How to Determine Terminal Server Mode

Thanks, Vera. I did finally locate one item that confirmed it as well. When
you use the Add/Remove Utility in the Control Panel, it clearly states
information about application mode.
