Administering Win2k systems remotely

For your Win2K servers, you can use Terminal Services in the Remote Administration mode. You can install a client on any Windows computer. Unfortunately, Win2K Professional doesn't give you the same tools.
I use VNC for those computers that I need to remotely manage (that don't have a utility such as Terminal Services available). With the Windows version of VNC, you can remote control any Windows computer from any other Windows computer.
The best thing about VNC is that it is free. It canbe downloaded from www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/

Part of the first responce is correct? terminal server would work of the servers. However VNC is not a very good choice unless you are not concerned with security.
As documents have have read concerning VNC , It states the is not secure in any means and can be hacked rather easily. There are many doc's on the web to support this statement. I would advise on pcanywhere - Lan host. it cost around 50-70 dollars a user/computer . The price is well worth the piece of mind and security. Your can use the admini client to start the services when needed and close the services when you are finished!@

I use Dameware to remotely monitor/adjust/mess with client and server systems.

if it is workgroup/domain, if you have the admin rights then you can administer the rights of those pcs remotely no third party tools/software is not necessary, it is an inbuilt utility in win2k professional. Do the following to manage the win2k systems only from win2k system.

On the desktop right click mycomputer and click manage, you will see the computer management screen at that promt connect to another computer, you can manage that computer from sitting at another win2k system, but you can't install drivers in this mode and can't change the device drivers. Here one constrint is that all the computer should be in the same workgroup or domain then only you can manage the other system.
I hope this will help you.

yes you can manage the win2k system from win2k system. You don't required any third party tools and also you don't required terminal server-ts. see the following.

At win2k desktop right click mycomputer click manage, at computer management screenconnect to another computer at where you want to connect connect that system, if it is not showing and search for the required system and connect that system and do what ever you do while local system with computer management but here one constraintis you can't configure drivers remotely, there is no problem for user rights configuration. i hope this will help you.
