Scanners aren't supported without a 3rd party product like remotescan in terminal services so your going to need to consider that.
As for the system configuration I would start looking at Group Policy and become very familiar with it because that is going to be your main tool on locking down not only their local workstation but also the terminal services session.

We recently purchased another company in the same field as us and I have been asked to centralise information management from a support perspective whilst keeping the new company a separate entity and it's data hived off from our other companies.
This is the first time I have embarked on a project like this and my initial thoughts are as follows...
We have a brand new Terminal Server on-site and I plan to configure the machines at the new company to connect to this on startup rather than login locally, can this be achieved easily? Is it a simple case of setting the computer to automatically login and run mstsc on login?
Yes I have, but I don't know much about them AND why go out buy some more kit when we can utilise the machines that are already there for free? (4 Desktops and one Mobile User). I have no qualms about wiping the desktop machines and installing from scratch with a pared down system. It's just the configuration knowledge and best practise I'm lacking.
Also planning on setting up a persistant VPN connection between both businesses, there will be 5 users at the satellite office so what sort of connection should I be looking at to quarantee QOS?This will depend on many factors including drive redirection (how much are they goign to copy locally) and especially print jobs and their size.
They won't be copying anything locally, all business data will reside in our datacentre. About the only local devices they will use is a printer on-site and maybe a scanner although their printer/photocopier can be configured to scan to email.
