How to secure your hosted sever's Remote Desktop Access

Here are some things I did recently to ensure a remote hosted server is more resilient to dictionary attacks:

• In "Remote Configuration" I specified that clients all need to use "Network Level Authentication".
• I only allowed Remote Desktop Connections for a single account (meaning only one account can be compromised)
• In "Local Security Policy" I specified that the account should be locked for a few minutes on 3 failed logon attempts.
• I made the password much longer and more complex.

Feel free to comment if I missed something obvious!
