Rename your admin account - Yes this might be a pain in the ass especially if you've got services using the domain admin account however this is a commonly attempted brute force username.

Rename this account to something ambiguous that won't easily be guessed. Don't use common names for accounts - If you audit the security logs you'll notice that a good chunk of the login names are common names Administrator, admin, sql, sa, besadmin, guest, etc. Ensure that you are either not using these usernames, or if you need to use the username ensure it doesn't have the rights to logon to your remote desktop server Enforce an Account Lockout Policy - With your administrator account renamed and your other service accounts renamed or not given access to the remote server, this will disable someone's attempt to login with that username.

Make sure you set this as a local policy on the remote server and not a domain policy.

I tried this one on a Swedish Enterprise version that I am using as my own personal playground, and it worked like a charm. Though, it took me a couple of minutes to realize that I had to uninstall the Terminal Server Role for this to work. It answers all my questions when it comes to licensings.. I checked the PUR but it doesnt really answer my question direclty, its just to vague for a scenario such as this. Thanks though.

Now I have to think about what operating system to install on this that will work with downgraded CALs. I find it really odd that if somone wanted to build a Terminal Server these days they would have to either upgrade their entire Win2k domain to accomodate a Windows TS or somehow track down a copy of Server Either way Microsoft really puts that person between a rock and a hard place.
