The short answer is no. But, it is still possible to
dole out 2k TSCals with a 2k3 server. There are 3
different types of licenses that will allow you to do
that. They are:
Windows 2000 TS CALs, Windows 2000 TS Internet
Connector Licenses. Windows 2000 Built-in Licenses.

Yes, a TS CAL is granted with an expiration date
randomly selected between 52 & 89 days from the
current date.
Hope this helps.
