My facility wants to implement Windows 2000 Terminal Services. What are the pro's and con's of implementing 2000 TS with or without Active Directory in place? Can we join ADS after implementing without ADS?

The pro's and con's are the same as they are for NT 4.0. However in 2000 terminal services there is alot more than in NT 4.0 TSE.
Tho con's are administrating the server.
Yes you can join ADS after inplementing without ADS.

I have a current project where Windows2000 Terminal Services was implemented in an NT4 domain and it has caused some interesting problems with profiles conflict.

As a workaround, we've had to create two NT accounts for each TS user so that each account could have a separate profile. The users log onto the NT4 domain with one account and the TS server with the other.

You can join AD after an implementation without AD but based on my experience, you'd be better off to have AD to start with.
