Microsoft does not use the old remote desktop any more... it was replaced by remote management (ip6).

as for what you need on your network, that would depend on what other systems are on the same .net?
i.e, Have you got mostly (current s12 and above) Microsoft systems or is the network older systems and what type of traffic has it got to run.
