RE: Remote access problem



Hi Ger:
Thank you for posting here.

>From the description, I understand that you cannot establish the RDP
sessions with the SBS server through the RWW portal using http://<external
ip>/remote, but it works if using http://computername/remote. If I'm off
base, please do let me know.

First, let me describe the mechanism of the RWW-RDP connection. Although
the RWW-RDP function is designed for SBS server, it is still based on
traditional RDP (terminal service) technology. When we establish the
connection through the RWW site, the SBS server actually works as a RDP
proxy. The server accepts the requests from the remote internet computers
and then initiates the requests to the internal workstations through RDP
protocol. The workstations uses built-in RDP engine to respond the
requests. The 4125 port is used for the RDP proxy procedure.

To narrow down this issue, please help me collect the following information:

1. Can I assume that you have already run the 'Configure E-mail and
Internet Connection wizard' to configure the server networking settings? If
not, please open Server Management console, navigate to 'Internet and
E-mail' snap-in. Click 'Connect to the internet' in the right panel. In
'Web services' selection window, make sure to select the RWW option. Follow
the wizard to complete the settings. Will you be able to successfully
access the RWW-RDP connections?

2. In most cases, the RWW-RDP connection issue can be related to the front
side router/firewall redirection settings. Please double check the TCP 4125
port redirection settings on the router/firewall.

3. Please connect a workstation to the same subnet of the SBS server's
external NIC. Try to access the SBS server by using https://<external ip of
SBS server>/remote. Then can you establish the RDP session?

4. Do you have ISA installed?

I look forward to hearing from you. Please feel free to let me know if you
have any questions or concerns.
Have a nice day! :)

| Hi all,
|
| When logging in on the LAN with URL http://<servername>/remote, I can
login
| and choose a server and login on that server... no problem
|
| When logging in on the LAN with URL http://<ipaddress>/remote (via
external
| proxy), I can login, but when I choose a server, login is not possible
(The
| client could not connect to the remote computer. Remote connections might
not
| be enabled or the computer might be too busy to accept new connections
etc.
| etc.) and I got an empty page.
|
| What can be done ??
|
| Ger.
