Hello,
Dear All, The company I work with recently required a remote desktop access and to keep the budget down, I used a XP Pro system to receive only one Remote Desktop user. Since this requires the opening up of a port on the firewall, I'm quite concerned. I have limited the system to only one or two users who can log on. Since this is my initial foray into the remote desktop client (in the past, we used PCAnywhere, but it's getting more and more expensive(hard to justify purchasing a license for each system). In what ways can I protect the remote desktop system from being broken into? (Well, aside from shutting it down.)
Make them access trough VPN. So, in order to get external access to the Remote Desktop of any machine inside your network, they will be authenticated and the communication will be encrypted.
