[olug] Linux and Windows SBS 2011

The remote web workplace is giving you a .rdp file that specifies the use of the RDP Remote Gateway - a tech that tunnels RDP in a HTTPS session.

There is no such thing as a Linux RDP client that supports the RDP Gateway.

Your only hope for remote access is a traditional VPN. Opening RDP directly to the world with a port forward is as dangerous as having a SSH daemon open to the world - that server WILL be subject to password brute force attempts.

>Hello all,
>I have a question concerning the ability to remote login to windows SBS 2011 from a linux mint box.  My work recently upgraded to SBS 2011 and the remote login via a web access. I can not get Remmina to log into the server.  It worked previously with SBS 2003 and terminal served but not now.  When i click on the remote desktop icon on the web access site it asks to download an rdp file.  If I download it and then open remmina and import the file it imports it but will not connect.  Has anyone gotten linux to connect to SBS 2011?  Any help would be appriceiated.
