Hi. I am new to looking at Remote Desktop possibilities. So far I
can't find answers to these...

Is it possible for two people to connect remotely to the same host
computer at the same time?

If I am connected remotely to a PC, is it possible for this PC to be
independently used locally at the same time?

Servers - yes.
Workstations - no.

Servers - somewhat - depending on your setup/licensing.
Workstations - no.
 
Thanks a lot, Shenan. Ok, so I would need to be using a server OS on
the host machine, right? And so therefore Terminal Services licensing
system and CALs and all that become necessary... is this correct?

(Pardon my jumping in)

Yep, unless you're using TS in admin mode (=Remote Desktop on W2003) - for
remote administration only - in which case no TS CALs are required.
