Hi Mike,
Terminal Servers (Windows 2003) by default uses 128 bit encryption to
protect any data exchanged between client and server. On Windows 2000 you
have to manually set Encryption level to high. Do you think this wouldn't
work for you? Do you need more protection?
If you decide to use certificates for IPSec each computer would get it's own
certificate. These certificates are used for computer authentication process
(just like preshared key or Kerberos would be).
