Are you sure you want to do that? Really sure?<br />
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.

Yes I mean remote desktop user should be able to execute all tasks as that of local loged in administrator,<br />
also clear me these terms UAC ,NLA ?<br />
<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 />
<br />
Guru ,now you got clear picture ,
