I have a new Windows server running Windows Server 2003, to which I
have set up VNC which allows me to open a virtual desktop on the
server from home. The problem is that the server seems to go to
sleep during the night, such that I have to go into the office and
physically log on to the server in order to be able to talk to it
again from a remote location, or even from the local network. Is
there a configuration option on the server that I need to set so that
the server stays alive on the network all the time?

There are two places that this could be set - in control panel | power, as
Cris suggested - and in the computer's BIOS power saving options.

Why not use Remote Desktop, which is built-in and better in most ways than
VNC?

All that said, note that you've posted in a Windows Small Business Server
2003 group - if you don't use SBS, try regular Windows server groups.
