Remote Installation Services - which Terminal services Mode do I use

[gbl]

We are running Windows 2000 server and have set up a RIS partition in order to create RIS XP Images.
Two questions:
(1) When I select the RIS services from the add remove programs, I am prompted to select the Terminal service mode before I can do anything else. The screen shows that remote administration mode has been selected. Is this the normal mode for server operation? Is this also the mode I should be selecting to add remote installation services to the server?
(2) Why is this prompt appearing anyways? Its not mentioned in the RIS Setup documentation.
I would have searched the forum first but the search function is not operating right now.
Thanks for any help.

Have not worked with RIS, but we do use TS. We use admin mode (Per Server) since you get two free seets with it. If you use per seat, you have to pay for everybody that will use TS. Glen A. Johnson

I agree with both you, it shouldn't ask for any TS and if you have to go for TS Service, select the admin mode.

I've had this happen to me quite a lot. We do have TS setup in remote admin mode on all servers. Occasionally when something new is added through add/remove programs the TS mode screen just pops up. I just click OK to re-assure BILL that I'm only doing remote admin. I've had this happen on more than just the RIS service install.
