We've just migrated several of our systems to Win2K Pro and will be doing the same for the rest very shortly. This (short) article provides some useful advice. But the 'have the remote user create an account with Administrator privileges' makes nosense to us. We don't give users that right; cuts down on unauthorized software and changes to the system settings.
Your statement is correct, but since you are in a "corporate" environment you can make sure that the admin accounts on the remote systems are set up to allow you access or you can create a special account on each unit that you can connect to them with that already has admin privileges.
This article is especially good for the SOHO or small business that is strictly intranet operated and doesn't have the large security risk/issues of the corporate environment.

DT support 30th Sep 2002
Extremely good article. I thought I could use this for the software my clients have installed however under applications only the Microsoft Office products are listed. My company uses a lot of third party and they are not listed. Can do a guess looking at active services but not all show up.
Has anyone found a way around this?
