I would setup a VPN and only allow access to the users that are ok to RDP. &nbsp;Or do users that you don't want to RDP need VPN access?

Well i dont want to have a vpn. I want them to use the external ip address and log on that. I cant stop those users accesss during times they are logged onto the LAN or WAN. What i wanted to stop is when they got home and attempted access. Can it be done?

hi guys<br />
<br />
we've got a load of users that access the remote desktop systems from the LAN, WAN and also when some of them are away from the office in different countries. <br />
<br />
We have a Sonicwall NSA 3500 at our Head Office. Is there a way that we can limit some users only from limiting them accessing the remote desktop services once they leave the office? (i.e. when they're outside of the WAN). Can Sonicwall link to Active Directory at all in order to refuse the connection of a user by account name in AD when they're outside of the WAN? Or anything along the lines which you experts believe would work better?<br />
<br />
Thanks a lot,<br />

Limiting certain user access to remote desktop services outside of WAN with Sonicwall NSA?

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
