Don't know about that one, but if you use DDNS, IAS, ISA, and a few others,
you will need to keep DHCP enabled.  MS has "Re-purposed" the DHCP service
to do more than jsut DHCP.  Found out the hard way.

Putting together new Terminal Servers, I usually disable services I know
I wont need: DHCP, Auto updates, Wireless Config, etc.

On my new 2003 server, I was looking at disabling the "Remote Access
Connection Manager" (or RasMan) since I won't be doing dialin or direct
VPN connections to this box. However, the description for this service
says "If this service is stopped, the operating system might not
function properly". I don't recall the same warning on Windows 2000
server.

Is there some component of RasMan that is critical to the operation of
2003 Terminal Services, or can I safely disable it?
