I know there are sereral other ways to administer a
workstation, however I have been requested to install

Hi,

Just run Netmeeting on Windows 2000 Pro, go through the initial setup, and
when it displays the Netmeeting interface, go to Tools, Remote Desktop
Sharing and enable it through there. After it's enabled, a green tray icon
displays on the taskbar. Users can right click that icon and either turn on
the desktop sharing when needed or leave it off. It works great for me.
The only thing is that you either have to call the person using the computer
to turn it on or you could connect to the computer's services and resume the
Netmeeting service before you can connect to it. Also, you can't use
Terminal Services Client for connecting to them. You have to use Netmeeting
as the connecting client. What I like to do is, I open Computer Management
console, connect to the remote computer's services, and resume the
Netmeeting service. That way I don't have to walk the other thru the steps
on how to right-click a tiny icon to enable it for me.

Hope this helps!
