Detailed discussion of how Microsoft IT significantly improved the security of its corporate network remote access solution using the latest generation of Microsoft products, such Windows XP Professional, Windows Server 2003, Internet Authentication Service, SQL Server 2000, and Connection Manager. The solution deployed, called Secure Remote User (SRU), enabled Microsoft IT to manage specific remote desktop configurations, ensuring that all established security requirements are met when remote users access corporate network resources.
