Hi,

I know that there is a Remote Desktop client for Mac, but how does this work through ISA. Do you have to first establish a VPN connection from the Mac to the SBS?

Check out the article "The Alternative to RWW for the Mac" at smallbizserver.net:
http://www.smallbizserver.net/Default.aspx?tabid=234

It discusses how to set up the VPN connection from the Mac so you can RDP into various workstations and servers on the internal network.

If you are needing to publish only one internal workstation, you could configure ISA to forward 3389 to that workstation, but that would impact every external connection.

Just remember that if you select the VPN option, you're letting whatever malware might be on that remote machine into your internal network.

HTH...
