We use a terminal server, and allow staff to install a remote access client on their machine, and dial up to the work server.
I am still struggling a little to grasp the complete concept.
ie The user dials up to a modem inside the terminal server, the terminal server modem and the user modem negotiate a connection.
However once this connection is established, the user is not yet logged onto the terminal server (wtih the ability to access files etc). The user can access the internet etc via the ADSL modem connection, but the user cannot access any other files etc on the system…. As I said, I am confused about it a bit.
My question is regarding the need for up-to-date anti-virus software on the users machine. Our anti-virus software allows us to let home users use a copy, however I would like to know how serious a threat remote users are (if they do not have virus protection).
Thanks,
Cassandra
