What is the danger of running the RD Gateway in the normal network instead of the DMZ?


hi there,

we configuring remote desktop services in our network pleople can use applications @ home or on other schools. have installed windows 2008 r2 server remote desktop , remotedesktop webaccess on , through browser can use programm's running on when i'm in network itself. people need access application home need remote desktop gateway. looked in different documentation , in knowledge base , saw gateway has in dmz firewall , there should number of ports open between gateway , domaincontrollers , remote desktop server. between gateway , internet port 443 (https) has forwardered. have question:

when install gateway in lan , forward port 443 server kind of danger have? gateway can communicate remote desktop server without problems. kind of forwarding used on exchange webaccess , there no problem.

 

thanks,

marcel

hello marcel,

having server on network that's accessible internet puts entire network @ risk.
if place gateway server dmz, have additional layer of security.
however, best security practice is: put gateway server dmz!

kind regards,
harry
