If you rented a dedicated server from  a host would you expect remote desktop 
access ? of course you would. Stop being silly.

"Provide a remote desktop username and password into the machine with admin 
privileges."
Now it could be me, but exactly why would I need to provide complete and 
unrestricted access for valve to my servers?
One of the principals of securing servers: don't give out your password.
It even says so on Steam chat: "Never tell your password to anyone."

If I would set one up and have filtering on it, how would you instruct the
client(s) to use that specific server?
>From what I read in the past there is no way of making it do that.

Also with all the requirement demands by valve... exactly what would valve be 
giving to us?
Besides a big connection bill and 'a good feeling'??

Looking at that... they might get more servers if window wasn't a requirement.

@Saint K: Let us know how it goes!
