I am trying to create a new group for support staff. I would like to give them restricted admin rights, eg access to Terminal Services Manager for remote control purposes while disallowing other admin rights.
I thought the easiest way to do this would be to copy the domain admin profile and change what I needed to but there seems to be no option to do this.

You should go the other way round. From a security perspective, the only valid approach would be: use a blank user profile and assign it permissions it needs to fulfill it's tasks.

I must admit that I'm not a Terminal Services guy so for the Terminal Services Manager I don't have a solution right-away. For all other DS tasks they need access to, you can use the "Delegation of Rights" wizard in Active Directory Users and Computers (right-click an OU you want them to have permission on).

Cheers,
