2008 is more secure by default for a reason...<br />
But sure, turn off the firewall. That's the main difference. Depends what you mean by &quot;remote admin&quot; though, do you mean Remote Desktop Connection onto the server console?<br />
If so you can turn off UAC, and also turn off the requirement for NLA on the remote desktop connection.<br />
If you can clarify then I can tell you how to do it... but I'd really really advise updating your procedures rather than downgrading the server security if at all possible.

also clear me these terms UAC ,NLA ?<br />

after doing the software installation by remote desktop the server will be made secure and it will be on production site. &nbsp;normal user with admin priviladges should be able to install aplication software .<br />
with out using runas command.<br />
