Hi, at work we would like to move towards remote access to employees via a VPN.
Now, our admin seems reluctant citing security as an issue which is fair
enough.
Given that our employees are on static IP addresses external and our network
is behind a firewall surely we could punch a single hole in the fireall and
give access to *only* that IP address? Once through the firewall, the user
would still have the Windows 2003 security so we would have at least two
levels of security.
How safe is setting up a VPN network under Windows 2003?

Re: [Full-disclosure] Remote Desktop Command Fixation Attacks ... This set of steps is redundant in many places, and it's also enormously expensive, since you're using no less than three different expensive bits of networking hardware (AP, PIX, VPN Concentrator), in addition to a bunch of x86 server hardware, windows server licenses, and at least one ISA license. ... Your computers necessarily don't have full access to your network infrastructure when they aren't logged on, so GPOs, software updates, etc can't be applied at the times you want them to be applied. ... Turning on, enabling, and implementing every possible security setting and device you think of is not defence in depth, and will probably only have two effects - your users won't use your wireless network, and you'll burn so much cash you won't have any left to spend on *useful* security measures. ...
