We have a new Outsourced IT Team that's currently implementing RDP on our Exchange Server 2000. Could you tell me where I could find more info on how it breaks security best practices? Thanks in advance.

That said, if isn't broke, don't fix it. Conversely, don't propagate it to others as well. That's a risk that may not be worth it. I'd have to say that it's odd that it worked for you. It should have failed and been difficult to install on a 2K3 server.
