What do you use to remote control servers?

Just curious. I have a need to easily remote in to a few servers (just locally, for now). I was just curious what most of you use to accomplish this.

I use TightVNC to remote into my home PC, but it hangs constantly on a fresh install of Windows Server 2003, so I need something else.

Me 2. Not 6.0 though. IMHO that thing is horrible.

RDP for internal use only, unless using secure certificate for external use.

Externally we use Net Support Manager. This is equivalant to Citrix's GoToAssist.

5 layers of security and works with keyfobs.
