2003 TS in remote administration mode

[hal]

Sorry if this is not the best place, but there don't seem to be any
2003 public groups yet.

I upgraded a development server to 2003 and it gave me a grace period
for TS but now expired and it wants CALs. I have a load of 2000 CALs
but have seen in previous posts that it requires 2003 CALs. I have
always used my 2000 servers in remote admin mode as they always gave
you a couple of freebies, but that doesn't seem to be an option in
2003. So is it an option to remote admin a 2003 server out of the box
or do I need to purchase a new CAL?

Thanks

Hal

OK, I found the answer to my question. If you want to remotely
administer 2003 do not install terminal services. You have already
have it installed, uninstall and reboot. Go to My
Computer/Properties/Remote and select "allow users to remotely connect
to this computer"
