Dameware is also a good utility. I'm not sure how much the licence costs though, buit it gives you all the server commands on your desktop - server manager, user manager, complete remote control over pc's plus registry access. We use that and RAdmin at work. I find RAdmin quicker to remote control pc's with, but Dameware is a much more powerful tool that saves me having to remember server access passwords.

We downloaded the Radmin free 30-day trial and it works a treat with about 2 minutes of setup. Dead impressed.
