Changing from App mode to Remote Admin mode via registry

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



We're considering advising users to change the TSAppCompat value and reboot
to move from Application Mode to Remote Administration mode so that they can
install our product. We can't install properly on a Win 2K3 server running
TS in app. mode. if the user is logged in remotely.

Are we remiss in suggesting this? Will license servers or unused licenses be
affected?

Simple tests in our lab here bear out the fact that this does seem to change
the mode completely after a reboot, but we have not tested exhaustively.

I've seen posts here on the TSAppCompat value that indicate that changing
modes is not as simple as changing the value, but I'd like to have our users
avoid uninstalling Terminal Services so they can install our app.

If we can't suggest that they do this, is there any other way to move from
app. mode to remote admin. mode, install our application, and move back?

TIA,
