We VPN then RDP. We tell people to RDP to their desktops.

From: RS [mailto:rich...@gmail.com] Sent: 08 December 2010 21:04 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Remote access - Allow employees work from home I guess what I was trying to point out is that rolling out a basic RDP over VPN solution leaves potential holes that need to be addressed. We use TS Gateway and disable device redirection on the CAP.

Launching Excel for example the EXCEL.EXE is on the RDS or Citrix box in RAM and not the local users box…hence and infected system cannot get to the EXCEL.EXE (or more importantly, it’s folder structure) to infect it. As other have said, you don’t really want a network connection between an unmanaged machine and your network.

If Joe home user can connect his virus-riddled home (or even laptop) drives via the RDP session, what have you really gained? (This can also be a source of data leakage, not just inbound malware.)
