That would be my suggestion.  It sounds like you don't want the local
user to be able to access anything but the remote Windows server anyway.
I realise you want to know how to fit the parts together yourself,
but it would still be worth a look at existing solutions for ideas,
e.g. should a user be able to shutdown the PC?
