Q. How can I Remote Control my Windows 2000 Professional computer?
A. You can't do this with the Remote Desktop Protocol client. A
Windows 2000 Professional workstation can only be an rdp client, not
a host.
Use NetMeeting or VNC instead to connect to your W2K Pro desktop.

Is the same true for Windows 2000 Server? Recently sited on a Microsoft
"frequently asked questions" article on RDP:
"Is the Remote Desktop Connection client compatible with Windows 2000
Terminal
Services and Windows NT® 4.0 Terminal Server Edition?"
"Yes, the Remote Desktop Connection client supports Remote Desktop Protocol
5.1. The client is backwards compatible with Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0
Terminal Server Edition. When using the client against older servers, you
will get the features of the older protocol."
Please interpret this
Thanks, APage

You are confusing the rdp client with the Server OS.
A Windows 2000 Server can run Terminal Services in 2 modes:
1. Remote Administration mode, which allows for a maximum of 2
concurrent connections, only available to administrators, and
without additional licensing requirements
2. Application Server mode, which allows for an unlimited amount of
connections for normal users, but requires a TS CAL for each
connecting device (W2K pro and XP Pro clients receive a free TS
CAL).

Can you use the rdp client (specifically the Remote Desktop Connection client
that comes with XP) to connect to Windows 2000 Server in Remote Admin mode?
