Hello,

I know that when you use the Remote Desktop Connection to
connect to a Terminal Server, that the connection can be
encrypted up to 128bit. However, when I am at home and I
use Remote Desktop Connection to connect to my XP Pro
computer at work, is that connection encrypted? Thanks!

Hi Zac,
Yes by default all RDP connections are encrypted.
