Hi - sorry to be asking so many questions tonight.

I am to maintain an SBS2003 server, and have been playing and finding out
how it all works. I had terminal Services switched on in my forewall, which
allowed me to access the server from my home in the evening and make changes
etc etc.

Our consultant was in today, and recomended that it was switched off, as a
security measure, but which stops me using RDC

Two questions

Is there a security issue with Terminal Services activated and If so, is
there another Way for me to access the server for admin duties?

thanks

Alex
