Dameware does on the fly installations. Install it on your computer, and tell it to connect to another computer (NT, W2K, XP), and it will install itself on it. It will even uninstall itself, if you want it to.
thanks but i found something else ;)

according to MS, "Each session you log on to is independent of other client sessions as well as the server console session. "

it work in 2003 ?

In Windows Server 2003 you can remote control the console.

You can download tsweb onto the server and then use IE from the client to access it.
