Dr. AC,
I think you are wise to not do anything on the server. It should be nothing for your IT people to set up the RD Gateway as Sandeep says. Just curious, did the IT people recommend Server 2008 R2 over SBS 2011?
LogMeIn will work just fine, but there are advantages to RDC. I suppose I will never understand why more people don't use it. I don't think it is that difficult to configure. I still don't know how LMI stays in business with their free software. Sure, they have Pro, but it seems the only advantages are remote printing and file sharing.
RDP is simply faster. Barely faster as far as using it. But, while you are browsing to the LMI site and typing in your username and password, I am already logged into ten computers.
The other nice thing, which you can do anyway, but it just gets you used to using RDC to log into the other computers.
