How Windows XPe connected with Windows SBS 2003?

I'm wondering if there is any diffrence between Windows XPe that's purchased & installed by an owner, with Windows XPe that's already come in one package of Thin Clients devices? Are they using RDP and Terminal Services in order to connect to the server? Our small business company is planning to purchase Thin Clients devices to replace old PCs. But I'm worried whether they will work together with Windows Small Business Server 2003 or not? Because Windows Small Business Server 2003 does NOT allow Terminal Services in application mode! How these Windows XPe will connect to Windows Small Business Server 2003? Are they going to be able to login to the server, but restricted if they try to open applications (such as MS Office 2003)? I hope someone has answer or even personal experience for this issue, because Windows Small Business Server 2003 has diffrence TS policy from standard Windows Server 2003. Thus no one has been able to give me direct answer until now. Thank you.
