My client failed her PCI compliance audit. The server supports Remote Desktop (Terminal Service) but only provides encryption and not authentication. This exposes the server to Man-In-The-Middle attacks.

The supposed solution is to force SSL as the transport layer for RDP.

Anyone know how to do this?

The server runs Windows 2003.
