Hi, Remote Desktop through VPN Vs. Remote Web Workplace connection. This is my 1st post here, sorry if this has been discussed before. Basically, I am 1 of 2 Sys Admins for Small Business networks. We have been rolling out SBS2003 severs for a while now. I'm a little on the paranoid side when it comes to data & network security. My fellow Sys Admin has been pushing the 'Remote Web Workplace' as the remote connection option to our clients. Where I prefer the Remote Desktop through VPN whenever possible. I understand the straight Remote Desktop has RC4 security which is rather weak. I dont believe this has been improved when using the 'Remote Web Workplace' method? Any I wrong? I want to make it policy that Remote Desktop connections via a VPN must always be used before the 'Remote Web Workplace', whenever possible. Am I being paranoid?
