I'd be a bit wary of that program. It's (apparently) often used by Hackers.

I personally would stick with Terminal Services. It is built into Windows 2000 Server and is free as long as you use it for admin purposes.

Someone using Terminal Services on a machine can do everything they can if they had logged into the machine locally. Apart from 3d work, and sound playback, but it's doubtful you would need either on a server.

You can install the remote client software on virtually any version of windows, but the host has to be one of those two.
Err, we use Terminal Servces on Windows 2000 Server at work. It is built in. Admittedly, it needs to be enabled via the console, but after that it works.
