Includes DUO integration. Dedicated Gateway Service Managed. Needed for rdp access to systems that are UC P4 or higher.
A rough estimate might be that concurrent users can use one RD Gateway. The HA at the virtual layer provides enough fault-tolerant and reliable access; however a slightly more sophisticated RD gateway implementation can be done with network load balancing.
Changing the listening port will help to "hide" Remote Desktop from hackers who are scanning the network for computers listening on the default Remote Desktop port TCP This offers effective protection against the latest RDP worms such, as Morto. Change the listening port from to something else and remember to update any firewall rules with the new port.
Although this approach is helpful, it is security by obscurity, which is not the most reliable security approach. You should ensure that you are also using other methods to tighten down access as described in this article.
Using other components like VNC or PCAnywhere is not recommended because they may not log in a fashion that is auditable or protected. With RDP, logins are audited to the local security log, and often to the domain controller auditing system. When monitoring local security logs, look for anomalies in RDP sessions such as login attempts from the local Administrator account. Whenever possible, use GPOs or other Windows configuration management tools to ensure a consistent and secure RDP configuration across all your servers and desktops.
By enforcing the use of an RDP gateway, you also get a third level of auditing that is easier to read than combing through the domain controller logins and is separate from the target machine so it is not subject to tampering.
This type of log can make it much easier to monitor how and when RDP is being used across all the devices in your environment. You can authorize the RD Gateway by adding the following subnet to your firewall rule:. To access your system via RDP while on campus, add the appropriate campus wireless or wired networks to your firewall rule:.

Use Two-factor authentication Departments should consider using a two-factor authentication approach. Update your software One advantage of using Remote Desktop rather than 3rd party remote admin tools is that components are updated automatically with the latest security fixes in the standard Microsoft patch cycle.
We are trying to better understand customer views on social support experience, so your participation in this interview project would be greatly appreciated if you have time.
Thanks for helping make community forums a great place. If you are not going to use a Remote Desktop Gateway, then you should likely look at a VPN solution where you could narrow down the client connection to only be able to use RDP protocol once they are connected to the VPN.

By default, disconnect and reset timeouts are not set. This has the potential to lock you out of remote sessions if there are two remote sessions that are active but in a disconnected state.
On the flip side, when configuring the timeouts, allow enough time so that accidental disconnections can be resumed without resetting the session. By default, when a connection is broken, the session goes into a disconnected state and continues to execute whatever process it is running at that time.
If the session is configured to reset when the connection breaks, all processes running in that session will be abruptly stopped. Disconnect and reset timeouts can be configured using the Terminal Services Configuration Administrative tool. For security purposes, when you are using the console mode of remote administration, the physical console of the server is automatically locked to prevent eavesdropping.
With Windows Server , administrators are able to collaborate through multiple remote sessions. This feature has potential problems, though, if two administrators are unknowingly connected remotely to the same server. For instance, server data might be lost if two administrators attempt to perform disk defragmentation from two remote sessions at the same time.
Although administrators have the capability to install software through a Remote Desktop for Administration session, Terminal Services running in Terminal Server mode provides better installation and environment settings for office applications. For general desktop and remote application access functionality, use a dedicated Terminal Server solution.
