You can have a full blown Terminal Server on 2003 SBS, but you need 3rd-party software.

Take a look at Terminal Server Pro

Once you have installed your server in non-TS mode (i.e. Anti-Virus, other apps) you’ll be forced to re-install 3rd party apps. Consider, if budget allows, another server or Virtual Server and keep TS away from your normal server

Hang on… unless something has changed in recent times.. Terminal Server beyond the 3 administrative logins is expressly disabled in SBS2003 installations.. Well, that’s what I thought.. please correct me if I’m wrong as I have had to spec some installations quite differently because I assumed Terminal Server was not available.

I didn’t know that! If you could forward any URL that states this, I would be very interested.

Ive installed a number of SBS systems recently, and yes for Terminal Services you definetely need to add in a new server to the domain with windows 2003 server on and make this a TS server

If you are running SBS2003 you can put in a Windows 2000 server as a terminal server, and you only have to pay for a Windows 2000 server license; user CALS and TS CALS are legally provided by the SBS2003 server (if you use a Windows 2003 server as the TS you have to pay for TS CALS which are really expensive). We did this to keep costs down for our TS solution.
