Rdp over VPN

I just want to know if I need to open port 3389 if I using rdp over vpn. In
theory I think that it's enough to open the vpn port, because the rdp is
encapsylated in the IP-sec packet. But is this the case in the reality?

Another question is how is the helpassistant account activated when using
only unsolicited remote assistance? In which phase. I have read that when
using solicited remote assistant it is activated when the invitationen is
created.

Can someone recommend a book or article that in depth describes the
connection phase for unsolicited remote assistance? ( I have find other links
for solicited)

Thanks

If your VPN tunnel allows all traffic, then no, you don't need 3389.

I suggest you post this as a separate message - it's not related to the
first question. (and I don't know the answer or I'd provide it). I'm not
sure that this is the best newsgroup for questions on remote assistance,
either...
