RE: RWW question - SBS2003 Standard

Hi Cary,

Thank you for posting here.

First of all, please understand that all RWW sessions relies on both
ActiveX and RDP. When a user logs on RWW, and requests connect to a client
computer, SBS acts as an RDP gateway. It listen on port 4529 and redirect
the RDP request to client computer port 3389.

I'm not sure what you mean - connected with the good ole "RDP" client, you
shall key in your username and password in the RDP window, and connects to
the computer with that credential.

Did you check "Full Screen" when connecting to the remote client computer
or server? If yes, the RDP session will not be opened in IE, instead, it
will be opened directly in Remote Desktop.

Please note, the RWW behavior is same as RDP, the client computer can only
allow 1 RDP/RWW connection. Administrative mode TS server can allow 2
connections, and Application mode TS server connection limit depends on the
TS CALs.

If there's anything unclear, please feel free to let me know.

Sincerely,

Bill Peng

Good morning!

I have RWW set up at one site (partially) and am about to set it up in a
second site. I have two questions re: RWW access:

1) In the site where it is partially set up (read: five computers are set
up
to allow Remote Desktop with the appropriate groups/user added to the
Remote
Desktop Users local security group on each of those five computers).
Accessing via RWW is no issue. My question is this: why is it that on
three
of the computers an ActiveX session is created while on two others an RDP
session is created?

What that means is...with the first computer that I set up when I would -
via RWW - attempt to connect to her computer an ActiveX session connected
me
to that computer. Same with the other two. Now, in each of the three
cases
I was actually logging into RWW with the user's credentials in each case
(as
I know the passwords in these cases).

On the next two computers (just did this morning) when I connected via RWW
(but using the Administrator credentials as I do not know the user's
passwords) I connected with the good ole "RDP" client.

2) in the "other" site (not yet set up...but will be today) I am offering
RWW as the way to connect to the Terminal Server (yes, joined to the
SBS2003
Standard domain in the "SBS2003" way!...joined as a member server running
Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2....TSLS is running on the SBS2003 Server...more
licenses installed than currently needed...but they will come into use
soon
I suspect ). Everything is set up but I need to "enable" RWW (via the
CEICW....everything on the Firewall and TS is already configured).

Will the users create an RDP session or an ActiveX session? And, each
session will be a separate session, independent of the others, correct?

I sure do not want one user connecting via RWW to the TS and jumping into
another user's session (yes, everyone logs on with his/her own
credentials)?
I strongly suspect this not to be the case but am a bit confused as to why
Question #1 (see above) happened! Thus, this question.

When the 13 Sales People connect to the Terminal Server from wherever they
might be they will be entering https://mail.mydomain.com/remote, logging
in
with their credentials and then connecting to a computer (well, in this
case
it would be a server...).

Thanks,
