Remote Desktop to Windows 2000 professional
I'm looking for an application that gives a Remote Desktop connection to a Windows 2000 Professional. It's not possible to upgrade to Windows XP because of the applications that runs on the PC.

I still don't believe that it isn't possible to identify the DLL's used by RDP service on W2K Server and port them and the relevant registry entries to W2K Pro which I guess is what is being asked for here. Having said that I searched for this for ages a while back and came up with nothing so I guess the answer is no, use another remote solution or install 'server' on a desktop. Would like a solution myself too.

Just like others have stated, there is NO way as of right now to remote desktop using RDC to a windows 2000 pro machine. Other possibilities that are free are TightVNC which I use quite a bit for windows 2000 machines and RealVnc/WinVNC.
I guess the reason windows 2000 pro doesn't have it is because MS does not want to code that functionality in for a 6-7 year old product?

You can download the client from
www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/tools/rdclientdl.mspx
Client software allows you to establish a remote connection to another Windows computer, but it does not allow another computer to remotely manage the local computer.
if you wish to manage the Win2000 machine remotely, then you can try
