RE: remote access setup

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

Hello Customer,

Thank you for posting here.

According to your description, I understand that you want to enable remote
access of your SBS. If I have misunderstood the problem, please don't
hesitate to let me know.

Based on my research, the SBS remote access is enabled by default. After we
setup SBS and run CEICW, the SBS will enable RDP and RWW and VPN for remote
access.

I suggest we run the CEICW thru the following steps:

Go through the follow KB and rerun CEICW 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
items 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 domain name (your public DNS name)
that you will use to access OWA and RWW (for example, if your public domain
name 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.

I suggest we try the following steps to remote access SBS server:

1. Use RDP connection in internal network.
From the internal client computers, run "mstsc" to open RDC, then input SBS
hostname or SBS internal NIC IP, input domain admin access and password,
you can remote connect to SBS desktop.

Note: We unable connect SBS RDP from external network by default.

2. Use RWW connect SBS remote.
From internal clients, we can access RWW thru http://sbsname/remote. From
external clients, we can access RWW thru https://www.xyz.com/remote. After
we logon RWW as domain admin, we can select connect SBS desktop.

3. VPN connection from external.

A. Run Remote Access wizard

a. On the Small Business Server 2003-based server, click To Do List in the
left pane of the Server Management console.

b. Under Network Tasks, click Configure Remote Access.

c. Click Next, click Enable Remote Access, click to select the VPN Access
check box, and then click Next.

d. Type the fully qualified public domain name (your public DNS name) of
your server, click Next, and then click Finish.

e. When the wizard is completed, click Close.

B. Then you can access RWW to download Connection Manager or copy the file
from SBS server c:\ClientApps\Connection Manager\SBSPackage.exe. Please
save the sbspackage.exe file in VPN client computer. Then double-click
SBSPackage.exe to run it. After this file run the "connect to small
business server" will be created and you can use it to connect VPN to your
SBS server.

Additional, we recommend customer run DHCP service on SBS. I suggest you
enable DHCP on SBS. After you run CEICW, the DHCP will be proper configured
automatic.

I hope these steps will give you some help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

Terence Liu(MSFT)
