No, however when you say "my application provider tells me that that I need to deploy the app via TS !" I have a few concerns
1. I've never heard of an application that MUST be deployed via Terminal Services. Running an Application Server (Terminal Services) is an option that allows you to deploy your application to users w/o needing to install it locally on users workstations, i.e. they connect with Remote Desktop Client
2. It's rare that someone would deploy an application with Terminal Services where the application and database are on the same machine, i.e. there's usually a machine that runs SQL Server and an Application Server (Terminal Services), which is basically a multi-user workstation. You don't want a bunch of users logging onto a SQL Server interactively if the SQL Server requires a lot of resources, i.e. RAM & CPU cycles. Example have you ever used a SQL Server or Exchange Server as your workstation
Please do some research to see how the application is supposed to be deployed before messing with a production server, Setup a test machine (even on workstation hardware) to play with until you're comfortable with the ins & outs of Terminal Services
My website has a lot of resources on Terminal Services, and is a good place to start reading
P.S. What is the application

Thanks for your reply Matthew. I have contacted my
application provider and I am waiting on word from them. I
would be interested in hearing from this group if this in
anyway affects SQL server setup & db's
