Use a L2TP/IPSec VPN to the server then RDP through the tunnel.
RDP is encrypted but the VPN and RDP solution is possibly a little more secure but not much. The big problem with RDP is that you are one password guess away from being owned. You can limit RDP access to specific accounts with very strong passwords. You also can use a firewall to restrict what IP's to accept RDP from and use a 3rd party two factor authentication to make RDP very secure.

Ok. I want to put a Windows 2008 Std. server out at a co-location. I
want to be able to get to the desktop on said server over the internet
(please, hold back the hysterical laughter, OMG's, and WTF are you
thinking's). I know, this sounds bad, but I have a reason.
I don't want to use RDP due to it's lack on encryption on the pipe
(and before connection). And I don't have the $ to invest in Terminal
Services licensing.
So, what I was wondering is, is there anyway to do this from w/in
Windows 2008 itself, or is there a "free" product that would enable me
to do this via some kind of encrypted protocol (SSL 128bit would be
nice).
If this is the wrong group, please point me to the right one.
Thanks!
