I would install a separate Terminal Server.
It's not recommended to run Terminal Services in Application mode
on your Domain Controller or ISA, for performance and security
reasons.
SBS2003 doesn't even support TS in Application mode anymore, so an
upgrade would force you to install a dedicated TS as well. Best to
go that way from the beginning.

You can install the TS Licensing Server on the Domain Controller
without negative side effects.

Be prepared to do some testing, QuickBooks is known to create
problems when running on a TS (depending on which version of
QuickBooks you use).
