Yes, the remote computer is logged onto the domain.

The remote computer is dialing into SBS 2003. Then it starts a
Remote Desktop sessions to Windows Server Standard 2003 which is on the same
local network as the SBS server. The Windows Server Standard computer is
logged onto the domain and I have it configured as a Terminal Server.
1. From the terminal server I can ping the IP of the remote computer but
I cannot ping the computer name or browse to it by entering
\\remote_computername. I receive an error message, path not found.
2. I installed a printer driver for the remote printer on the terminal
server and tried to create a local port port pointing to
\\remote_IPaddress\printer_sharename, but I receive an error message, path
not found.
3. On the SBS server, I installed a printer driver for the remote
printer. I created a local port pointing to
\\remotePC_IPaddress\printer_sharename. Then I printed a test page from SBS
which printed fine. Then I shared the printer driver on the SBS server, and
installed the shared SBS printer on the terminal server. But when I try to
print from the terminal server, the print job hangs in the queue of the SBS
server with the error message, error printing document.
