Remote Access...
Once you get RWW working, you can securely access the server from any
external computer with a connection to the Internet. From your web browser
onhte external machine, you would type in "https:/<FQDN>/remote" to fire up
RWW (FQDN = your Fully Qualified Domain Name; e.g., xyztools.com). This
will bring up a certificate to accept and then a logon screen. Once you are
logged on, you can connect to your server via a Remote Desktop Connection
session (remote control).
Another way to remote control the server is to establish a VPN and then an
RDC session. Still another way is a straight RDC session (no VPN).
These will require either setting up a certificate with FQDN (for RWW),
running the Remote Access Wizard in Server Management to set up VPN after
running CEICW, or just opening up port 3389 in the router (for straight RDC
session). In addition, you'll need to use port forwarding in the router to
redirect inbound traffiic for the required ports to your external NIC on the
SBS.
The help files with Server Management can get you started.
