Cool. I'll go check out the server later on tonight!

SBS actually has it completely setup unless you have disabled it or changed it in some way. You could just go through the wizard and add Outlook from Internet option and it will reconfigure IIS for you. Just 443 to the server. Outlook goto connections under your Exchange config in control panel, set the url to the server (Public fqdn), Change to basic authentication and it should connect.

Outlook Anywhere was basically the name change in Exchange 2007/10 and it added additional functionality such as the autodiscover technology. Lots of 2003 Server using it now. -----Original Message----- From: Don Kuhlman [mailto:drkuhl...@yahoo.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 2010 11:30 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: SBS Remote Access - was Firewall for small biz We're still running SBS 2003...I have a planned upgrade to SBS 2008 but am still waiting on the licensing to get working ;) Hopefully, when we get to 2008, we can use this vs. local big clients and the users will be really happy with their improved email performance... Thanks for the tip Greg.

Its allowing you to access Webmail, and connect to a computer inside the office. The PC must be on, its basically a redirected RDP to a computer in the office. The nice thing is you can configure printer redirection, access your computer like you would in the office. Works for a large majority of our customers quite well. In fact some just have 2 or 3 low end laptops stacked in the server room that they use to remote in instead of buying a Terminal Server. None of my clients use VPN unless they have too. -----Original Message----- From: Don Kuhlman [mailto:drkuhl...@yahoo.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 2010 8:33 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: SBS Remote Access - was Firewall for small biz We have been using CheckPoint Sofaware boxes for about 6 years. They're easy to use and do everything via wizards, but have a CLI. Annual renewal is about $100 each device. Purchase was about $500 a piece. Actually just switched the main one to a Sonicwall VZ 210 and working through issues with it now. Just curious Dave. When you said they found SBS remote much faster than VPN, is that for email access, or did you used to have site to site VPN, or remote access VPN that they have replaced with the SBS remote access?

This client is a law firm and I recently got them PCI compliant. I would like filtering and IDS if possible, but bigger emphasis is plug and forget - I bill these guys for perhaps 20 hours of work/year, so I don't want to spend 3-4hours configuring something if I don't really have to (however, they have never had any issue with time/expenses I can justify). The Internet connection is some ADSL-type (download is something like 2Mbps, upload is paltry 512K or something). Their web server is in-house and not hosted elsewhere.

It really depends on what you're looking to have it do, and the expected load. Say it's a typical consumer Internet connection (cable, DSL, etc.), and all they're doing is web surfing and email and remote access, and they're using SBS to remote in, and they're not looking for any kind of filtering, deep inspection, intrusion detection, etc. In that case, you could use an old PC running "free" firewall "appliance" software like IPcop, pfsense, etc. Or a SOHO gateway running third-party firmware like DD-WRT. If you're looking for more advanced features... tell us what you're looking for. :-) -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
