I'm very confused with discussions and would like a clear answer from
somebody...does Winows Vista Premium edition support Remote Desktop
Connection to a Windows 2003 server running Terminal Services.

I use XP Home at the moment and can remote desktop to the office over a VPN
connection or directly over the internet

According to this the Vista Remote Desktop client software is built-in to
all versions of the OS.

With that said not all versions can log onto a domain...

So if you need to actually logon to the work domain you may need to rethink
your choice of Vista edition. Since your already doing this with XP Home
then you should be good to go. Otherwise you might want to post this
question to the microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services news group...
