Hi all,<br />
<br />
Im trying to implement a more secure means of using RDP. Having read up about I feel the TLS enabled option &nbsp;would be sufficient. Having configured the host session properties on teh server to use SSL 1.0, encryption level high and ticked the box for allow connections from computers running NLA with auto generated Certificate. Haivng logged out and back in again I notice its still communicating over port 3389. Is this correct? Can I test whether this is encrypted?

Securing RDP wil TSL

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft.

Remote access may refer to the connection to a data-processing system from a remote location, for example through a virtual private network remote desktop software, terminal emulation, or the activation of features of a business telephone system from outside the business's premises.
