Rawb · 11-01-2004, 10:35 PM

AFAIK, Remote Desktop only comes in Windows XP and above. In win2k there is no remote desktop. You might be able to run terminal services, but if you had all the necessary software for running terminal services, you would know what three dumptruck loads of cash would look like as it drove to Washington.

But, have you considered running a VNC server? That will run on win2k, and give you basically the same features, with a slight hit in performance. I have heard good things about UltraVNC, but I typically use TightVNC. All of the VNC's are basically compatible, but if you use the same client with the same server, you typically get better performance and stability.
