Secure Remote Desktop?

kramer31 · Guest

Hi. I need to use Remote Desktop to perform administrative tasks on a
company server. I'm worried about people stealing passwords or
snooping on the session.

1. Does Remote Desktop use a secure socket protocol by default (if not
it probably should)?
2. If not, can I set it up to use SSL for both

a. authentication (to prevent password theft)
b. the entire session (to prevent snooping)

Thanks.
