Folks. If you do not absolutely have a need for remote desktop services being enabled disable it.

Personally I have all my machines remaining disabled for security reasons.
Sooo much YES for that comment.
Hello Alice. A very useful tool it indeed is. As the CVE articles report, patching ALL the devices within a network, whether in a home or corporate environment is essential and will mitigate the vulnerability aspects of utilizing RDS. The suggestion is to disable RDS until those patches are applied. Personally I have all my machines remaining disabled for security reasons.

Mostly I need it. If I need some files which are on my desktop & only I am aware of them, with the help of this tool I can ask others to share requested file easily. It allows a user to take control of a remote computer over a network connection. Very useful.
