Do I need a VPN ?

[Willy G.]

Hi all,

I have been looking into setting up a VPN for a company so
they can share accounting files between two sites.

Due to bandwidth constraints the solution for the *quick*
maintaining to company files seems to be through the
implementation of Server 2003 Terminal Services.

Are there security features embedded within Server 2003
Terminal Services or will the company still require a VPN
between the two branch sites?

Any help would be much appreciated as I'm new to this!
Thanks!

Terminal Services communication is encrypted - See:
