RE: Accessing "http://companyweb/default.aspx" From remote location



Hi Rick,

Thank you for posting in SBS newsgroup.

From the description, I understand the issue to be: you want to let remote
clients to access http://companyweb/default.aspx. If I have misunderstood
your concerns, please do not hesitate to let me know.

As I know, you can create VPN to SBS from remote clients and then access
http://companyweb/default.aspx. You may need to follow the steps below to
configure VPN access on an SBS environment:

1. Run CEICW, follow the wizard and select Enable firewall and then make
sure Virtual Private Networking (VPN) is selected in the Services
Configuration page. And make sure you have typed the public FQDN of the SBS
server on the Web Server Certificate page.
2. Run Remote Access Wizard in Server Management\Internet and
E-mail\Configure Remote Access, and select VPN access in the Remote Access
Method page. After finishing this wizard, RRAS is configured to allow
inbound VPN access, and it can assign IP addresses to the VPN clients by
using DHCP.

Note: When we run the remote access wizard to set up the VPN service, we
need to input the public IP address or the public FQDN of the SBS server.
We need to make sure that the address can be accessed from the internet.

3. On the VPN client, go to https://publicFQDN/remote, clear I'm using a
public or shared computer, log in and download Connection Manager.
4. Install Connection Manager on the VPN client.
5. Is there a hardware router installed in front of the SBS server? If so,
ensure that the port forwarding for TCP 1723 and GRE port (protocol number
47) are opened. PPTP VPN is negotiating a connection on TCP port 1723 and
send data to and from the PPTP server using the GRE protocol (IP Protocol
47, 0x2F if you are looking in Network Monitor). You should open port 1723
on the router and also make sure IP Protocol 47 is allowed.

Also you can publish companyweb and then access companyweb from remote
clients via https://FQDN:444:

1. On the SBS 2003 Server open the Server Management console. Go to
Standard Management\To Do List.
2. Click the "Connect to the Internet" link.
3. Choose not to change the connection type and click Next. On the Firewall
page, select "Enable firewall" and click Next.
4. On the "Services Configuration" page, select all the items and then
click Next.
5. On the "Web Services Configuration" page, make sure "Allow access to the
entire Web site from the Internet" is selected. If you select "Allow access
to only the following Web site services from the Internet", make sure the
web sites you want to publish are selected. Click Next.
6. On the "Web Server Certificate" page, choose to create a new Web server
certificate and then type the public FQDN of SBS.
7. Go through the remaining steps.
