Ideally when you install terminal services it should be on a brand new server with only server 2003 and drivers installed on it. After you have set up terminal services you should install all applications either by the add remove programs dialog in the control panel or by typing "change user /install" to install in TS mode or "change user /execute" to revert back. But they will need to check that the package is going to handle being used in a TS environment, I think generally anything with an MSI install file SHOULD be ok, but dont bet your wages on it. might be worth reading up on policy settings to because you can set TS to execute one program only so thats all they get when they logon to the server (no start menu, nothing) so that should give them less to tinker with! yes definately the above is very important unless they want to land themselves in the brown sticky stuff.
