Re: Laptop Remote access question

Hi,

In a normal situation you are in, I would actually implement the VPN on the
Server.

- The Laptop when connected to the SBS Network in the Office, she would be
able to access shares / Log onto the Outlook Client / Access
http://Companyweb, Users Shared Folder on the SBS Server.
- When the Laptop is taken back home, Dial in VPN (whether it be from
another Network), she should be able to get to the log into the normal
Outlook Client. OWA of course should not be a problem.
- She should be able to get to the company User's shared Folder.
- Access the Shares on the Server/ workstations within the SBS Network.
- Access http://companyweb

Please let us know if this works out for you.

I have this client who (no surprise) wants to be able to work from home.
Until today, she has been using Remote Web Workplace to connect to her
desktop computer from her home computer for this work, which has been
great.
Today we set up a new laptop for her which she wants to use as her
desktop
computer at the office and take home at night. Now when she works at
home,
what do I have her do for remote access? For email she will use OWA, no
problem. But what's the best option for her other work? Do I have her
connect
directly to the server (that doesn't feel right), or do I have to set up
a
VPN connection for her, or is there another simple solution? I know
others
have solved this problem, just not sure what the best answer is. Thanks.
The "other work" I refer to would be primarily working with word or excel
documents, etc.- nothing exotic.
