If you copy adminpak.msi from the SBS2003 server and run it on an XP
workstation, you will have all of the traditional admin tools you need. It's
just not the nifty consoles.

Dear Jenny,

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my Query.

I use both of the methods you describe often and find them excellent.

However I am trying to access the server from a local client computer and
I
know it is possible to connect MMC's from the Client to the Server however
I
was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of getting the
Vital
SBS consoles onto a workstation so that an Administrator could make
changes.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for using the SBS newsgroup.

From your description, I understand that you want to manage the SBS
server
remotely. If I am off base, please don't hesitate to let me know.

The SBS 2003 management console just can run on the SBS server box in
order
to avoid any security risk. To manage the server box remote, there are
some
methods we can use:

1. Using remote desktop connection (you have known :-)).
2. trough RWW site (Remote Web Workspace) to connect to internal
computers
or the server box.

The SBS RWW is a dynamically created web site that provides a single,
simple, and consolidated entry point for remote users to access SBS
features. It empowers external SBS users by providing one place from
which
all relevant features of SBS, such as Outlook Web Access, Windows
SharePoint Services, and the remote user desktop, can be accessed from
outside the network firewall. To access RWW, one can access
http://fully_qualified_domain_name/remote remotely, or
http://servername/remote locally.

Connecting through RWW allows users to connect to the server resources
without additional configuration such as VPN or RAS. It also allows VAPs
to
connect directly to the internal workstations for troubleshooting
purposes.
If SSL is deployed along with RWW, you ensure the communication is
secured,
and all data is encrypted and protected over the web.

Hope above information helps! If you have further question on the issue
please let me know. I am happy to be of assistance to you.

Have a nice day!

Sincerely,

Jenny Wu

I was wondering if it was possible to run the SBS managment console from
a
Client computer with Administrative access.

I use remote desktop to the server countless times during the day and
most
of the time the information / tools are available on the SBS console
