Yes, in Terminal Services Configuration you should be able to
create a new connection and choose "Microsoft RDP" as the
connection type.
Seems like your installation of TS is corrupt / incomplete. I would
however expect an Event, stating that the TS service could not
start, or something similar.
Has it ever worked correctly before? If so, what happened / was
changed on the server just before it stopped working?
Since you are only using TS in Remote Admin mode, I would uninstall
TS completely, reboot and then install again.
