Windows 2000 Server has a built in (free) option called Administrative
Terminal Services, where you can allow (up to) 2 remote sessions that
can manage the server. If a Windows 2000 Server has 2 or more network
cards, can I turn on AdministrativeTerminal Services and enable it for
just one network adapter?

Yes. You can use IP Filtering on the NIC where you want to disalbe it and make sure that TCP port # 3389 is not allowed.
To access IP Filtering:
1. Right click my network places and click Properties
2. Right click the adapter where you want to disable Termianl Services, click on properties
3. Highlight TCP/IP and click Properties, Click advanced, click Options, Highlight TCP/IP filtering and click propertis.
4. On top of TCP Ports click permit only and click add.
5. Add all other protocols you want to allow (HTTP=80, FTP=21, SMTP=25, POP=110) this will allow other traffic to work on this computer. Since you didn't put in 3389 no one will be able to use TS from that adapter.
An easier way to do this is using a firewall between your adapter and the network and blcok port number 3389.

answer one is too much work. go to administrative tools - terminal services configuration. click connections on the left, get the properties of RDP - TCP on the right, and under the network adapter tab, select the adapter you want access thru. Ifyou had three adapters, and only wanted two to use TS, then you would createa new RDR - TCP,each for thier own adapters.
