Yes! Besides using the usual "Manage" option for any Windows 2000 or XP computer, you can use a cool tool to control any computer that has Terminal Services installed on it! The tool is called "Remote Control Add-on for Active Directory Users & Computers". Remote Control is a small add-on that adds the option to right-click a computer account in the Active Directory MMC and choose "Remote Control" on that computer, by opening a Terminal/Remote Desktop connection to that computer.
