Interact remotely ie. Remote Assistance using Terminal Services.

My network currently has Serv2003   Active Directory, and Terminal Server.  I am trying to figure out how to remote control a computer on the network SIMILAR to Remote Assistance, however without having the user have to initiate.  I want to be able to view any session and interact with it.  I see the option in the User prefs in Active Directory.  However I am unsure what tool I use to gain access to the remote computers.  Do I use Remote Desktop? Do I use Terminal Services Manager? It would seem  terminal Services Manager is correct, however the options I want are grayed out, because it says to use a terminal services client?

Here's a PDF document I found useful on the differences:

As soon as I posted this message I realized it was for terminal only and would not work, what a bummer. Thanks for the confirmation
thanks :)
