If you connect through a VPN it should be as secure as anything else you’re
going to consider.

Hi Dan,



Where are the users located (local LAN or from an untrusted network such as
the Internet)?



If I recall correctly, RDP encryption is "turned on" from a GPO setting that
applies to the host/server, and not just RDP [or was it strong encryption?]
(corrections, please). So you can get a secure RDP connection at the cost of
possibly breaking other functionality.

You might find it easier to use another remote access solution.

 We have a boneheaded group of software developers who even in this day and

application that MUST run on an application server, cannot be run from a
client.  Rather than have my accounting department log in directly to the
physical box, I would like to have them use some flavor of terminal services
on my Windows server. My question therefore is, can I turn on RDP safely,
without exposing my Windows server to risk of exploitation?

Thanks for any help you can give.
