This may be very basic but...
Have a dedicated win 2000 server that I'm trying to install NR2003 on
to use as a dedicated race server. I have access to the W2K server box
with Terminal Services and Remote Desktop. Problem is when launching
server for first time I get an error message that desktop must be set
to 16bit. Terminal Services is limited to 256 colors and I can't
change the desktop resolution.
How do I get the game installed remotely on the server?
Thanks

Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you

I've used VNC to control a server, it works pretty well.

Depends on how you're doing things. If you can setup your local
CD-ROM drive as a shared drive on the remote machine (I'm assuming
Winblows here) you should just be able to run the installer from that
shared drive via your remote terminal.

Interesting. I never thought of trying it that way. Maybe I could have used
that with the first failed race I tried to host this year...
Thanks for the tip! I'll seperiment around with that.

Ah, ok. I guess I just misunderstood the question/statement. I use VNC as
well.

I would copy the entire contents of the CD to a directory and leave it
there. That, or creat an image that could be mounted using a software
utility.
That way if the need to reinstall it remotely ever came up, it would be
available.
