I didnt find any questions like this when i searched.
I messed up pretty badly, we had someone hack our system recently and in an attempt to prevent this in the future I was exploring windows firewall "Remote Desktop (TCP-In)" inbound connection settings. I clicked Allow connection only if secured, but meant to click cancel on the properties window knowing that it requires the connection to be "authenticated and integrity protected" with IPSec. In a most stupendous show of idiocy I accidentally pressed the button next to it, Apply.
What will allow me to connect to remote desktop to the windows 7 server "securely" as windows firewall defines it so that i can fix this horrible mess?
I have read through this
The security was still set at default, so only the first option, with header "Allow the connection if it is authenticated and integrity-protected" applies.
but I dont know how to configure remote desktop to be secured with IPSec, can anyone help me accomplish this?
or if there is another way, like using powershell to connect to the server remotely and editing the firewall rule from there, that would be welcome as well.
Thank you very much for any assistance you can offer.
Edit: I have the Administrator Username and Password available to me and the Server is at nearly vanilla settings for a Windows 7 server.
