Yes, if those 2k PCs run Windows 2000 Server OS.

They can take control over your desktop if you install Windows Messenger on
them but you can't take control of their desktops.

OP said "from XP PCs to 2k PCs", not the other way around.

need to do is install messenger on 2k pc and take control using ip adress of
2k pc from xp machine?

Not using Remote Desktop. An alternative is UltraVNC. Get the server, client

I didn't say anything about messenger.

You can run Netmeeting desktop share though....
