RE: Firewalls on VPNs - Best Practice Advice

Hi,

Thanks for posting!

Please help me know if you want to make the IT person manage the remote DC
via Remote Desktop? As Mike said, you may want to enable "Allow logon
through Terminal Services" to let him logon to the DC.

Some information for your reference:

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=278433

278666 Error Message When You Try to Connect to a Terminal Server Computer
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=278666

Hope the information helps. If there is anything that is unclear, please
feel free to let me know.

Thanks & Regards,

Jason Tan

| Hi,
|
| I'm running Windows XP SP2 with the Windows Firewall turned "on" as
default
| for all connections.
|
| I use the PC for connecting to various remote networks via VPN. Having
| previously been advised (http://tinyurl.com/cej6f) that Firewalling VPN
| connections is not recommended, I've turned off Windows Firewall
| specifically for these VPN connections in the
|
| My question regards the fact that whenever I connect to a network via
VPN,
| that Windows Security Centre "warns" me that the connection is not
| firewalled. What would be the best practice to stop this behaviour?
Turing
| off warnings altogether (i.e. "I have a Firewall Solution I'll monitor
| myself" tick-box within Security Centre) is not preferred as I would like
to
| continue being warned if my Firewall has been turned off for LAN or Wi-Fi
| connections, but not for VPN connections.
|
| Any advice much appreciated.
|
| Regards,
|
