Is there a correct way to turn off UAC, User Account Control, in Windows Server 2008?

I have found an article at Microsoft explaining the various settings. It looks like it is just a matter of disabling "User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode", but I wanted a second opinion.

    Yes, just use that setting, but in my opinion the correct way of turning off UAC is leaving it enabled :-), at least once the server is configured and all required applications installed.

    Using an option provided by the Windows interface or by Group Policy is better in almost all situations than using a registry hack.
