lleiro Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Hello Everyone. This is my first post here and as it usually happenes I got here because I was googling something I need. I am an advanced user far from been an expert with very limited experience in 2003. However I am determined to manage my self to set it up so I can remotely access to manage the quick books database from outside the office as I used to have this service from someone else, paid a lot of money and ended up having tons of problems anyway so I rather go through the hassle of learning with as much help I can get from the web and any recommendation I can follow from guys who know more than I do. I have a PC (CEL 1.2GHz 256Mb 30Gb with a Windows 2003 Server Enterprise edition) ready to use it as a guinea pig and when I go through I update into a higher peformance hardware. Basically what I want is to access the server with Remote Desktop Connection so we can manage our company's finances from any pc with the RDC client installed. Preferably I would like to be able to have more than one user at the same time. Any help regarding where should I begin, if there is any material, or guide that I should read or follow will be highly appreciated. THANKS

On the computer icon, right click, then remote tab. Check the box to allow remote connection. Then you will have to open access from outside (VPN, port nat on the router/firewall) When on others pc, do not forget to close the RDP connection when finished...either you will open a door to your business !! -- Cordialement, Mathieu CHATEAU http://lordoftheping.blogspot.com "lleiro" <lleiro.2vfesa@news.home.local> wrote in message news:lleiro.2vfesa@news.home.local... > > Hello Everyone. > > This is my first post here and as it usually happenes I got here > because I was googling something I need. > > I am an advanced user far from been an expert with very limited > experience in 2003. > > However I am determined to manage my self to set it up so I can > remotely access to manage the quick books database from outside the > office as I used to have this service from someone else, paid a lot of > money and ended up having tons of problems anyway so I rather go through > the hassle of learning with as much help I can get from the web and any > recommendation I can follow from guys who know more than I do. > > I have a PC (CEL 1.2GHz 256Mb 30Gb with a Windows 2003 Server > Enterprise edition) ready to use it as a guinea pig and when I go > through I update into a higher peformance hardware. > > Basically what I want is to access the server with Remote Desktop > Connection so we can manage our company's finances from any pc with the > RDC client installed.

In the scenario you describe, they would have to break into the VPN and they would have to guess the account name & password.
Guest Mathieu CHATEAU Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Re: Remote Desktop connections an Quickbooks I mean leaving the computer with the rdp session fully opened... I know that seems stupid but when you are on a hurry...then it's too late! Also you should never make the system store the password, it's obvious to get on RDP 5.0 and not so hard on RDP 6.0 (i think it's possible with cain since it's in the keys store) -- Cordialement, Mathieu CHATEAU http://lordoftheping.blogspot.com "Pegasus (MVP)" <I.can@fly.com> wrote in message news:OgXYgIF4HHA.1824@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > > "Mathieu CHATEAU" <gollum123@free.fr> wrote in message > news:umtYleE4HHA.1204@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... >> hello, >> >> on the server, you must allow RDP remote connection. >> On the computer icon, right click, then remote tab.
