security of terminal services through firewall

[pserko]

I have just started using terminal services for remote control. I am experimenting with TS through our firewall. Since I'm new to TS are there security issues associated with TS used in this way that I need to be concerned about?
Thanks

About security and TS, I would mention for you:
- by default users will be seen as a single user, if you want to differentiate, based on users, you have to add the incremental secutirty template: notssid.inf
- TS require "log-on-localy" right
- you can encrypt the communication through RDP protocol RDP-TCP Properties/General
- configure your firewall for accepting TCP port 3389 (RDP).

Success. Gia Betiu
