Windows remote desktop security

Category: Other Thomas Frost @ 08:22 PM

I've been wondering about how secure Windows Remote Desktop actually is, and it seems like you can be pretty protected with some common sense and few changes.

Here are a few tips that I have found while searching:

  • As default all administrators has remote desktop access, so it is a good idea to change the Administrator users name to a different name.
    1. It is found in: Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy -> Local Policies -> Security Options
    2. Find: "Accounts: Rename administrator account" in the list, and right click and Properties.
    3. You are able to rename the administrator name here, and then restart the computer.
    4. While your in the Local Policies you can change the values in the Account Policies to be as you want it, like changing the: Account lockout threshold to a few attempts.
  • Another thing is to change the default port number of remote desktop which is 3389, it can be changed the following way.
    1. Go to: Start -> Run -> write "regedit" -> press OK.
    2. Go to the following folder: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> System -> CurrentControlSet -> Control -> TerminalServer -> WinStations -> RDP-Tcp
    3. Find: "PortNumber" in the list, and right click and "Modify..."
    4. Write your desired port number and remember to add ":PortNumber" at the end of the URL when connecting to your Remote Desktop, and be sure to check if the firewall port is open.

Convert your Windows Server 2008 to a Workstation

Category: Other Thomas Frost @ 09:38 PM

I use windows server 2008 as a workstation myself, and there are significant changes which can be made to make it much better as a workstation.

A great site that i used to reconfigure mine is: win2008workstation.com, there is guides to everything, from disabling the shutdown tracker to performance increases and much more!

..i can warmly recommend it, because it gives a better workstation experience on a awesome OS.

Saving changes is not permitted in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2008

Category: Other Thomas Frost @ 06:06 PM

If you try to change columns in a table that you've created you will get the following message:

"Saving changes ins not permitted. The changes you have made require the following table to be dropped and re-created. You have either made changes to a table that can't be re-created or enabled the option Prevent saving changes that require the table to be re-created.". I think this option isen't very useful as enabled by default.

The message explains itsel, you have to disable the "Prevent saving changesthat require the table to be re-created", but where is this option.

Tools -> Options -> Table and Database Designers -> Uncheck "Prevent saving changes that require the table to be re-created"
