I have a Windows 2003 server that was recently upgraded from 2000. After upgrading we lost the ability to remote desktop into the server. The allow remote users is checked and the server seems to be functioning properly. Internet works, browsing to other servers on the network is fine.

Several years ago I took some very good classes on Windows. One of the things they stressed was to never upgrade, always install from scratch. It usually ends up being less work and stress in the long run.
It also is a good justification for new hardware. ;-)

90% of the time when dealing with new OS I do get new hardware and install from scratch, however due to the nature of this particular machine I was forced to upgrade instead of starting from scratch. Do we have any other work arounds other than starting over and having to reinstall the critical appications (hours to re-insatll and configure).

Try reinstalling TS and then uninstalling it. Maybe that will reset the files you need.
