RE: Publishing folders on companyweb



Hello Jan,

Thank you for posting here.

According to your description, I understand that you want to make a SBS
share folder can be accessed from Internet via companweb. If I have
misunderstood the problem, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Based on my research, the share folder is an internal network function for
share resource, we can not access share folder from Internet. At the same
time, it is not safe for our SBS server if we can do it. This is by-design.

I understand that this limitation may inconvenience our users and we
apologize for the inconvenience you faced. In our efforts to continue to
improve our products, you are welcome to add your suggestions in
Partnerfeedback newsgroup to make Microsoft products easier and more
powerful to use. Thanks for your understanding.

Additional, we have a workaround for this issue: Access the share folder
via RWW.

I suggest we try the following steps to see go around this issue:

Go through the follow KB and Rerun CEICW again carefully.

How to configure Internet access in Windows Small Business Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/825763/en-us

Detailed steps for your reference:

a. On the SBS 2003 Server open the Server Management console. Go to
Standard Management\To Do List.

b. Click the "Connect to the Internet" link.

c. When navigating to the Firewall page, select "Enable firewall" and click
Next (I suppose you have 2 network adapters in SBS 2003).

d. On the "Services Configuration" page, select all the items and then
click Next.

e. 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 all
item in the list are selected. Click Next.

f. On the "Web Server Certificate" page, choose to create a new Web server
certificate and then type the public FQDN (your new DNS name) that you will
use to access OWA and RWW (for example, if your public FQDN that you use to
access the sites is www.xyz.com, you should type www.xyz.com as the new
certificate name).

g. Go through the remaining steps.

Then, you can access RWW from Internet via https://www.xyz.com/remote/. In
the RWW, you can connect SBS via remote desktop. After success
authentication, you can access all folder on SBS (include the share folder).

Hope these steps will give you some help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

Terence Liu(MSFT)
