With Remote Desktop for Administration, administrators can remotely manage Microsoft Windows 2000-based servers and Windows Server 2003-based servers from any Terminal Services client. Additionally, an administrator can also remotely connect to the real console of a server by using the -console command.

By default, Windows doesn't allow any one to connect to your computer remotely. However there may situation arise where you want to connect to your computer remotely. For this just enable the Remote Desktop Connection feature on your Windows 2003 server. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Go to Start, select Control Panel, and then click on System.
2. Go to the Remote tab, and select the "Allow users to connect remotely to your computer" check box.
3. Apply the changes by clicking on OK.

I have Windows XP on my client computer. I think you made some mistakes because the same procedure I had followed once to connect to my client computer. Or I think Microsoft had applied the same terminology on both the operating system for simplicity.

Yeah you are right! The basically Microsoft took the idea from Windows XP and implemented the same procedure to connect the clients remotely. It was definitely organized so for the ease of use. Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services includes Remote Desktop for Administration (derived from Windows XP) and Terminal Server (to allow multiple connections).
