Can you explain how RPC works as part of file sharing? When you grant VPN access in this fashion the end user does have the same access as if they were local, I just don't know how RPC works as part of CIFS file sharing..

If one of our employees connect to our firewall true VPN and then connect to a Terminal server and the map local drives are mapped true the session. Is it possible for a virus which uses RPC to go true this session, eg does the RDP protocol use the RPC to map the drives like ordinary windows drive mapping does? Thansk for answers Best regards Johan
