You can't run IIS 6 on a W2000 server and that mode is irrelevant to IIS.
Only IIS 5 runs on W2K.

The mode you're asking about is in reference to Terminal Services. You're
allowed to run in administration mode and that gives you two connections -
this is useful for remote administraiton of IIS. Application mode requires
additional licensing and would only be needed if you wanted clients to
connect to the server through TS so they can run applications on the server
(not at all related to IIS).

Hi,

It does not really matter. But you probably dont want to have your
webserver as a Terminal Server, but only remotly administrate it, so
Administration mode is probably what you want.

Running TS in application mode needs additional licenses.

Also see KB Article 300847 for more information (it is mostly the same on
Windows Server 2003):
