Yes, well the information is uesful for those of us that have to support non-ISA firewall configurations. Beleive me I hate that my only options on a symantec firewall/VPN thingy are open or non-existant. Talk about a security problem waiting to happen. Such is the life of a consultant.

The RDP uses TCP port 3389 for this connection. To allow users within an organization to request help outside your organization using Remote Assistance, port 3389 must be open at the firewall. To prohibit users from requesting help outside the organization, this port should be closed at the firewall." ...where is that dreaded Open Port[Patent Pending] button?...
