What version of Windows, RDP client, term server, and domain do you have? RDP 6.X and above supports 128 bit SSL (while not perfect certainly better than earlier versions- See classic paper on older version here http://www.oxid.it/downloads/rdp-gbu.pdf ).
You really should encrypt those laptops. Also an IPSEC tunnel would be better. Saving creds may be able to controlled via registry or GPO but without hardening the end point, meh Are these system hardened at all, services, patch mgmt, host firewall, etc... ? You mentioned you failed an audit. Audit for specific regulatory body? Or just internal? Just my 21/2 cents, I am sure others will have input 2 On Wed, Aug 11, 2010 at 2:28 PM, Tyler Robinson <[email protected]> wrote: > Alright so after failing a recent security audit which I knew we would I > have a little bit of fire to allow me to make some corp changes one of them > being remote devices and policy.
