Adminstration is no problem through the CF Administrator. Ideally, you'd have a bit more control over the machine, for instance the ability to trim CF logs, have access to the CF mail spool, perhaps access to the system event logs.
For the installation, it can be done, but you may want a set of hands at the site. They'd need to load the CD on the server, otherwise you'll need to upload the CD contents via FTP. That may be doable, but depends on their connection speed. You'll need some means of remote control over the machine to do the install, such as Win2k Terminal Services (you'll need to download and run the client on your PC) or pcAnywhere or something similar. If I recall, the installation requires rebooting the server, so make sure you're not disrupting normal business being conducted on the network. If this server is for an intranet, with no other public access to the web server, then they'll have to be very carefull about opening a hole in the firewall to allow you to do the admin. Many network administrators may not be willing to do this.
