I have a great little utility called WhoAmI that updates the wallpaper with the host name, IP address, OS version and service pack level, logged in user name and other stuff. I added it to my domain login script so it automatically runs on every computer in the domain whenever anyone logs in. My script allows the administrator to assign the settings or the user to edit their own settings. Works great and you always know what computer you're connected to. There is a similar utility from SysInternals but I prefer WhoAmI.

If you're using VPN instead of RWW you can use the Remote Desktops MMC Snap-In from the Windows Server 2003 Administrative Tools. I find it helpful when I’m working on numerous servers to prevent a reoccurrence of the issue you mentioned.
