I have been looking for an automated test tool
like Expect (Tcl) for Windows 2003 running as a
VMware appliance. Does anyone know if there is
anything out there that can do the job?

BTW, despite all the suggestions, I couldn't
get Expect to work on Windows 2003.

What I'm looking for is quite simple:
1) spawn a command line app
2) monitor it's stdio
3) able to respond to app based on its
printout. This would imply some kind
of scripting capability

You might want to look at AutoIt. AFAICT it can read and write stdio.

Thanks. That's exactly what I'm looking for.
There seems to be a lot of scripts written for
GUI stuff. Do you know where can I find script
examples to drive Dos apps?

Sorry I don't. I've only ever used it for GUI programs. Check here, do a
search first for console or something like that and see what comes up. Good
luck.
