Those are really 2 very different questions. I would absolutely have RDP open locally (i.e., in the datacenter). How else will you maintain the server in case of problems?
Remotely - no. Likely not. Except for administrative access via VPNs that can access the servers in the datacenter.

Recently I was at a site where I was tasked with reviewing the DR strategy. While doing the assessment I inadvertently RDP'd into the CAS server (typo in the ip), the question I have , is there ANY reason whatsoever RDP would be enabled on a CAS server, and even more to the point, any reason it should be open through the firewall??? TIA jp
