Sorry for the long winded explanation. I'm just wondering if I buy a PC and put it on the same network as the powerbook, can I administer the PC from my powerbook over the wire (for example, install SDK's, reboot, etc)?
On the Windows Server (2000, or 2003) make sure that you install Terminal Services, and set it up in Administration mode. Then, download the Microsoft RDP Client for OS X and install it on your laptop. You can connect to the server just like you were sitting at the console with a keyboard and a mouse. I use this to administer a number of machines at my office over a VPN connection and I've never had any problems. Between that, and being able to send files to shared drives over samba, you should be set.
Hope this helps
Steve
