I agree.<br />
<br />
This allows you to monitor everything.<br />
'The other solution is to use VNC or Pc Anywhere to do something similar.<br />

This is Windows Server 2003, not SBS. One of my clients has purchased a new accounting app that will be installed on their server by the vendor from whom they purchased it. This vendor is asking for remote access to their server so they can install the app remotely. I could go either way with whether or not to allow them to do this as a general rule regarding security, but I figured I'd ask to see if there is a fairly straight forward way to create a user account this vendor could use to connect remotely that has enough permissions to allow them to install this accounting software but doesn't give them complete ADMIN permissions on the server for obvious reasons. <br />
<br />
Anyone have a good suggestion for creating such a limited account? Thanks.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
