Got to agree with ^ on the idea of somekind of installation pop-up, I've seen a couple of servers with the welcome message "Please go to http://www.renguard.com..." or words to that effect, you do seem to get less people joining and being kicked by renguard half a dozen times (seriously, by the second time you'd think that they'd realise something was up) on these servers.
There may be some use to de-activating RenGuard on a couple of the n00bsvrs, that way you get non-RenGuard users on and when the srvrs go back to RenGuard the users have to install RenGuard to go on the servers, as it stands many people have simply moved to non-RenGuard servers that aren't switching so there is simply no-incentive to install RenGuard.
I'm not entirely to sure how well I just made my points as I'm still recovering from last night so you'll just have to bear with me if my post takes a couple of re-reads.

It's the servers who aren't installing RenGuard that are hurting those of us who don't want cheaters in our servers. Every server that goes RenGuard-only makes us stronger.
I'm the bawss.

So to say that It is the servers fault, you are also saying that enough clients have renguard that people not joing shouldn't be a problem?
If this is the case you are proposing, then maybe you should get a few of your dedicated admins to just sit and play around o the servers for a little while, and all the people with Renguard will see that the servers are occupided and join the game. I find most people don't come to a game I host, on the account that the server is just empty, and people like playing with a lot of other people.
Edit: If that is not the case, then at the very least the fact that your servers are ladderd will allow you co-workers to go up in rank as there stants get changed from messing around waiting for people to join, win or loose.

Part of the problem -- one that I'm working on. We get hundreds of players on RenGuard but only a small fraction of them on protected servers. Players on RenGuard should make an effort to get on protected servers. I hope to help this problem by having a detailed server list so you know who's running RenGuard.

Perhaps make a serverside option to alow someone to play for X amount of time before they get kicked?
So that people can still play, they get a taste of whats going on, and have the opratunity to ask about renguard before they get their arse booted.

Yeah, I think it's a good idea, too. Not everyone knows about RenGuard, and this would be a good way to show them.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

We hope that through further research, we can augment RenGuard on the server-side with stuff like that, but everything we've come up with so far has used a LOT of processor.
