How do I view the task manager for Windows 2003?

Laura Hunter explains how to view the task manager for Windows 2003 when using a remote desktop connection.

I sign on to Windows 2003 using remote desktop connection. How do I view the task manager for Windows 2003? When I use control/alt/delete it shows me the local task manager for WinXP.

Right-click on the taskbar inside of the Remote Desktop Connection window, and select "Task Manager." This will display the Task Manager for the remote computer.
