    Hello,

    I have an employee in Long Island that we are in need
    of training and guiding until he learns the ropes.
    He connects via a VPN to our server in Central NY.
    Using Terminal Services Manager we can remote control
    his session and answer any questions he has over the
    phone. Kinda like being right behind him when he runs
    into trouble.

    However, how can I give another employee access to this
    without making them an admin?

    Any suggestions would be great.

    Aaron

This set of steps is redundant in many places, and it's also enormously expensive, since you're using no less than three different expensive bits of networking hardware (AP, PIX, VPN Concentrator), in addition to a bunch of x86 server hardware, windows server licenses, and at least one ISA license. ...
