If I configure a sever running terminal services to run in "Application Mode" can a non-terminal services client access the same server as, before termonal services where enabled? (ie. for file & print services)

Yes. I have configured a P3 1Ghz pc as a terminal server running in "Application Mode" at the same time, had it connect to a printer and I am able to print to it via network. Works with file sharing too.

The simple answer is yes. Terminal Services is an add on to windows 2000 that lets clients access thr local desktop by using the RDP Protocol. It does not interfere with standard Windows networking functionality. However I would not recommend havinga Terminal Server that was also a File and Print Server as you are moving valuable resources away from TS Sessions and into file caching instead.
