In 2000 you need to install Terminal Services on the server.  In Administration mode.

Read over this:

ok, it is tru you need to install terminal services, but you also need to enable IIS in order for remote desktop to work.

the address will be:

http://yourservername/TSweb

if  IIS is not enable it will not show, but in many times the remote desktop service runs and you just need to access it from a pc running windows XP using the remote desktop0 conexion.

%SystemRoot%\System32\mstsc.exe

try installing IIS if its not installed already or try conecting half of the time is IIS not running the right website for the remote desktop conexion.
