One thing I like about unix is the ability to administer servers without needing physical access or even a console. But I need to set up Server 2003/IIS 6/ASP.NET and was wondering if anyone can comment on remote administration features. From what I understand, Terminal Services may be enabled in one of two modes: Terminal Server mode (formerly Application Server mode in Windows 2000 Server), and Remote Desktop for Administration (formerly Remote Administration mode). Okay, so what's the better option - is there anything I can do with one that I cannot do with the other?
