That, plus the fact that one you switch to Application Mode you have to
worry about TS CALs and a TS licensing server.

I wouldn't do that. The tuning of the system in application mode is
completely different to remote admin mode, and may have negative effects on
your DB performance. I would rather create a separate Terminal Server and
install all their DB tools on it, etc. Let them use that instead. They
should never need to be on the physical box itself.

Cheers.

Some of the DBA's have taken a liking to use TS instead of VNC as their
formal remote access tool of choice. Because so many like to connect at
once they have switched TS to application mode instead of the default
Admininstration mode so more of them can work on db issues at the same time
on any given box.  As this is an MS SQL server which is very busy at the
moment with the job of being a db would it not be taking too many resources
to run this is Application mode? Even if only 2 or 3 are working as well
wouldn't the OS make subtle changes to the system making it more optimized
to be a TS server when switching to application mode and therefore less
resources leftover to perform the db functions?
