Re: Requirements for RWW

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

As far as the QB issue and 2 Nics, they have a programmer they work with and
the only way they got things to work correctly in their QB database was to
disable the 2nd Nic and since that is their main business app, I didn't want
to mess with something that was working. The model you have below, is that
with me re-enabling the 2nd Nic? I've not run the CEICW, mainly becasue on
the intial install of SBS, I ran the CEICW, and then could not connect any of
the workstations to the Server, if I run the CEICW, is basically what I'm
looking for is the creating the certificate? They do not use this server for
mail. They use an external mail host for that via POP3. Thank you

What makes you believe QB doesn't work in a 2 NIC setup ?
It works fine for everyone else... so first I've heard of it...
I suggest we get you configured correctly to start with..

Internet
|
Public IP ( Static xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
Modem / Router ( forward ports to 192,168.1.2 )
Internal IP ( Static 192.168.1.1)
|
External IP ( Static 192,168.1.2)
SBServer
Internal IP ( Static 192.168.2.1 )
( forwarders DNS1 & 2 As recommended by your ISP )
DHCP Svr ( scope as set up by SBS 192.168.2.10 . 99)
|
Switch
|
---------------------------------------------
| | | | | |
Clients ( via DHCP) Printers ( static IPs 192.168.2.100..etc.)
( DNS points to SBServer 192.168.2.1 )

A record:
<YourServerName>.<yourDomainName>.<TLD(s)>
Your Public IP ( Static xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)

MX Record ( if receiving Mail directly to SBS/Exchange )

10 <YourServerName>.<yourDomainName>.<TLD(s)>.
20 Failover Mail server 1
30 Failover mail server 2

In the CEICW create the Certificate as
<YourServerName>.<yourDomainName>.<TLD(s)>.

Connect to OWA from the internet via:
https://<YourServerName>.<yourDomainName>.<TLD(s)>/Exchange

Accept and install the Cert.

Connect to RWW from the internet via:
https://<YourServerName>.<yourDomainName>.<TLD(s)>/Remote

Sorry I didn't reply to this sooner, the SBS in question has 2 Nics, but I
had to disbale one due to their Quickbooks apps not liking the 2 nic
configuration. I do have public IP addresses I could use, is this what I
need
to do? Configure the SBS to use a public IP, make sure my ports are
forwarded, then try this? I have successfully connected to RWW inside the
network with the private IP address set on the server now.
