It's a restriction. Read the release notes - there's a section on Windows Terminal Server, saying that that platform isn't supported. What's not 100% clear (or at least it wasn't to me) was the fact that Terminal Services on Windows 2000 Server fall into this category, as well.

Another nasty one is that if you try to shut down an OEM Management Server from the Services applet over Terminal Services, that locks up. There's a dialog box which appears on the console, but doesn't show over Terminal Services... (It took us *many* reboots before we found that one out...)
