Allow user access to just one server
I need to give access to a remote user and allow them administrative access to just one server on my Windows 2003 network. That server is also a Windows 2003 server. What is the best way to do this?

Add them to the administrators group and enable remote desktop.
That would be the local administrators group of the domain member server.
If you just want to give access to one server.. you can add that user to local administrator group.
If the user is not part of the Domain then you can create a local account on that system and share account information.

What are you trying to allow this person to do on your AD domain controllers?
If you need help like this, you should do a netmeeting and allow them to control the desktop. BUT, monitor everything they do.
On an AD server, there is NO local administration. So, you can't have them logon as a local admin.
You can add them to remote desktop, but what permissions are you going to give them as a remote desktop user?
Personally, I would fix things on my AD all by myself and tell that person who wants access to take a flying leap.
