Let me guess: the IT security people are the kind of people who think that
firewalls are the main facilitator of security?

That and complex password policies with account lockout...

There will be absolutely no reason to deny RDP. I have yet to see a
private business or a government agency that would have one.

Unfortunately, since we have been working without this feature, it is
difficult to convince anyone that there is a need for it.

I have been having some difficulty in getting a request to modify our
group policy to enable RDP on our XPSP2 workstations past IT security.
