You can create a secure TS environment.  TS under VPN is overkill, since TS
encrypts the data anyway.
Use Terminal Services Configuration in Admin Tools and set it to use high
encryption and limit logons to specific users.

Using Terminal Services to connect to a box on the Internet without first
creating a PPTP VPN tunnel to the box is highly unrecommended, BTW. Hope
this box is on your internal LAN, and not open to the world. Considering the
nature of ISA, I would venture to guess it is on the Internet. You probably
want to bind terminal services to your internal adapter ONLY, if you have
not already done so.

Heh... I actually performed a development edit for SANS for those documents
before the NSA released them :)


Thanks!
