Server 2008: Switch from Terminal Services Mode to Remote Administration

Question

It seems that two of our Server 2008 machines were configured to be Remote Desktop Hosts with Terminal Services. We do not have a TS license for this, and needed these setup to be managed in the standard Remote Admin mode (2 RDP users only.)

Is there a way to switch this back, without temporarily removing the ability to remote into the servers? We do not have local access.

Answer 1

In case anyone ever needs to know - there is no way to "switch back" - you will have to entirely remove the Remote Desktop Hosts role from the server in order to place it back into the Remote Administration mode. This requires a reboot, so plan accordingly.
