We are also considering using Terminal Services on our (small - 6-10 users) office network to simplify administration. Our server is powerful enough to handle it, but what I wanted to know is are there any big downsides to using Terminal Services?

Cheers,
Matt
 
Hi Matt,
Term Svcs gives each user their own (hidden) session, so even if you're in the server room it's not obvious that someone's remote-admin'd into your server. I use VNC or pcanywhere to admin servers so I can see at a glance what's happening. Other than that it's as good as any other tcp/ip only (no modem access) remote solution.
