I discovered something that annoying about RDP... I was getting dropped from RDP every 2 minutes. After looking around, I discovered some information that it was related to the fact that autologon was configured on the remote machine.
In essence, as I understand it, after 2 minutes Windows would attempt to ensure that the default user was logged in. For some reason this forces the RDP to get logged out (check the event viewer).
SOLUTION: disable autologon.
ANOTHER SOLUTION: This seemed to work. Delete the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\ForceAutoLogon
