Hi Leythos
First with no real firewall I would at least use two NICs and use RRAS. Most
routers at least have some limited port blocking and I would forward
443,4125,3389 to Server External NIC static IP if no port forwarding
available I would put External NIC in DMZ or replace Router with inexpensive
router with port forwarding feature (better)
I don't like POP but if using I would POP into Exchange and let Exchange
route to Outlook
I would redirect Document folders to server at least and on User1 consider
using Roaming Profiles.
I would setup User 1's Laptop with Outlook over Htttp which gives him his
Exact Outlook desktop if he has Internet Access and in Cached mode his
previous mail when not connected.
Other users get their Desktops with RWW
Forget VPN RWW is much better unless a Workstation is not available for use.
