If setting up a terminal server with Win2k and you want 128bit then you'll have to manually set that up through terminal services configuration under the properties of the RDP-Tcp connections. The encryption level by default is at medium (56-bit). You'll also need 128bit support in the OS. As a note, if you've made TS client disks before setting the encryption level to high you'll need to recreate the client disks in order for them to work with high encryption. It seems that the remote desktop client that comes with XP can automatically go between.
