From there it is as if you were in front of your server....and you can manage any software install on it.

You have two options. Go with the terminal services feature on Windows 2000 or install a remote control program like VNC http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/3.3.7/winvnc.html and then you can connect that way as well.
