Re: SBS 2003 and Remote Offices

Hi Lanwench,

Many thanks for your advice, do you have instructions on how to setup
rcp/http in outlook. Will it sync emails or move them to the client?

Regards
Stephen

Hi Lanwench,

Would you recommend a VPN link from the site links to the main site
instead?

Instead? No. In addition to? Yes, sure, if you want some remote management
of the computers.

This was something I orginally thought of.

VPN sucks for direct file access, and unless you're going to put a DC in the
remote offices and join those PCs to the domain, there may not be much value
in it for this purpose. Hard to say. It just isn't a substitute for TS.


Many thanks for your advice.
Stephen

Hi There,

We own SBS 2003 and have a number of remote offices that would like
access to the SBS. We have about 5 users at each remote site, is SBS
2003 the right solution to have for the remote sites to access
emails and data? What is the recommended solution for the remote
sites to have access to the main site storing the SBS2003 Server?

Many Thanks
Stephen

For email, they can use Outlook with RPC/HTTPS. For data, I'd
suggest you get a Terminal Server - a dedicated server in your main
office, for your remote users to access via RWW. This should be a
member server with no other roles on the network. This will keep
your data centralized and manageable.
