Hi there Some of my clients have mobile users and we set up RDP but only through a VPN connection I would highly recommend not leaving RDP or 3389 open on the firewall use the VPN tunnel first. Thanks Keith -----Original Message----- From: cc [mailto:cc@belfordhk.com] Sent: 21 October 2005 07:28 To: security-basics@securityfocus.com Subject: remote desktop question 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.) Any pointers appreciated. Edmund -- No virus found in this incoming message.
