Well, web-enabled remote desktop is out. To be secure, you should change the port number in the "default web site" in IIS to something other than port 3389 (default remote desktop port), but then that also changes the port number for the regular web server. Apparently, you can't have two seperate port numbers and set each for what you want it to apply to.

So, for now, I just changed the default port number for remote desktop (required a registry setting as well as some firewall changes). The only way to secure regular remote desktop is to use "SSH tunneling over a VNC connection". I'll probably end up using some kind of remote access over VPN software eventually. Even if the server gets hacked in the meantime, it's not a big deal since nothing important is on there.
