Les:

You are a god amongst men. Thank you. This is exactly the sort of overly
complicated stuff I enjoy reading about! I will play with a spare computer
on their network & see what I can do - or damage. :-)

My next question: if all I want to do is use RWW to connect to a workstation
which was manually added, can I just enable this somehow after the fact?
I've TS'd into a server for testing, and via IIS browsing /remote, right now
I can't connect to a PC I'm *fairly* sure I enabled RD on - logging in as
domain admin.
