Win2K Pro -> Win2003 TS???

I'm putting my first server on my network to act as a test machine. It will
have Win2003 standard. I want to access the new server using my dev machine
(Win2K Pro) using TS like I now access a remote dedicated server (at a
datacenter using TS) since it doesn't have a keyboard or monitor.

Do I need a separate license for TS along with Win2003? Does Win2003 support
TS along with Remote Desktop (that I apparently cannot use with my Win2K Pro
machine)?

Since I have neither the server or Win2003 yet, I want to make sure I can
access the new machine on day one.

Thanks for any tips or directions to articles on this subject.

Do you want this server to be a Terminal Server, for multi-user
access, or do you just want to connect to it for remote
administration?

If you want a TS, yes, you will need to install and activate a 2003
TS Licensing Server and install TS CALs on it for every device or
user which connects.

If you only need remote administration: no, you do not need any TS
CALs. AND: do *not* install Terminal Services at all, since TS on
2003 implies "Application Server mode". Just enable Remote Desktop
for Administration in Control Panel - System - Remote.

And there is no reason why you should not be able to use your W2K
client to connect to the 2003 server. Just download and install the
latest rdp client:
