I run 3 web servers,an SQL server along with a couple of other NT servers.My boss has tasked me with establishing a way in which to remotely manage these boxes. Would RAS be an option or is their another way?

It depends. If you are local, in your network you can use a lot of remote control software (PC Anywhere, RAdmin (my choice)etc, without RAS. If you are remote, you can use the software through RAS.

You can use Net Meeting to remotely admin if you are locally on the network. We use it on our Exchange boxes. Another option is Systems Management Server (SMS), plus with it you get a whole lot more than just remote tools.

Lots of options, justdepends on how much money your company wants to spend. There is some shareware also - DameWareNT works very well and it is shareware, but relitivily cheap if you decide to purchase.
