    Can the terms "Microsoft Remote Desktop" and "Secure" even be used in
    the same discussion? =)

    The only way I could see applying any form of security is to do it
    under the protection of a VPN. As for not having the active user
    logged off, I don't have an answer for that.

    Personally, I'd recommend one of the many other remote desktop tools
    out there. WinVNC and Radmin both come to midn quickly. (WinVNC can be
    done through SSH. Though I'm not positive, I believe you can encrypt
    Radmin sessions as well.) Google both for more info.
