Hello I would like to allow remote desktop access to Windows 2008 server only to some ip addresses. Every other address would have denied access to port 3389. So I have found the rule for a remote desktop and in properties I have added the remote ip addresses to the allow list. I have assumed then, that any other address will be blocked from accessing the rdp, but not. If I log on a server with the address which is not in the list, I can still logon to the remote desktop. Could anyone help me with that ? Thanks. J.

You need to check that no other inbound rules allows the 3389 port directly or indirectly and that the firewall is actually configured to block connections that does not match a valid rule, read more on how to check the default profile settings: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd448527(v=ws.10).aspx. /Hasain
