Re: Do I need TS to manage AD in 2003?

No, you don't need to buy Terminal Services CALs, and you should
absolutely not install Terminal Services.

Just enable Remote Desktop for Administration, in System -
properties - Remote, just like on XP. Add the Administrator in
Africa to the list of Remote Desktop Users, and that's it.
This will give you a total of 3 concurrent administrative sessions
to the server (2 normal sessions, and 1 to the console, with "mstsc
/console").
