If you choose to do this you need to enable high encryption which uses
128 bit and change the port TS listens on.

Subject: TS/3389 risk on Internet
I have a peer that insists on allowing public access to his Domain
controller via TS/tcp 3389 over the internet. I know there are some
documented cases of 'man-in-the-middle' attacks for this service but I
was
hoping someone here could help me plead my case as to why this is a bad
idea. Maybe you all disagree and regurlary allow this traffic. It just
doesn't sit well with me. Does anyone know if the login/password is
sent in
clear text for TS authentication?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts,
Nicole
