If you're in a Windows-only environment Remote Desktop ought to be enough. To 
add some security you could use an encrypted VPN or tunnel (PPTP, IPSEC, 
whatever).

In mixed environments I prefer VNC, but that's cleartext so you'll need to add 
some kind of encryption if you're using public networks.
