The problem with terminal server is not any vulnerablities that can be exploited, but the fact that administrator can be bruteforced (6 attempts followed by reconnect) and that it is screaming its existence on port 3889. If you use it, definitely change the port in the registry.
You can use the local security policy to prevent administrators from logging in via terminal services and then enable "run as" for administrative tasks...which should be done anyway. Changing the port number is another good step though. -- Jonathan _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
