HowTo Question - disable Remote Desktop

Hello,

My first Thread within this Forum.

I ordered a Windows 2008 R2 VPS with Plesk 10 today – so far, I know Plesk only on Linux.

I’m thinking at this moment about disabling Remote Desktop access (and only enable this in case if I need) – but I don’t found a way so far.

What I already tried:
1. Disabled the Remote Desktop Service (on services.msc), but after a reboot of the box, the Service was enabled.
2. Disabled the default Firewall Rule within Plesk for Remote Desktop, but I was still able to access the Server via RDP.

Has someone another idea how to disable Remote Desktop on a Windows 2008 R2 System with Plesk 10?

Thanks in advance,
Matthias
