Version of Win2003 Server to Support Multiple RWW and VPN Connecti

[Guest David]

I'm looking for a Server o/s that would provide a suitable front end to

support ~ 10 Remote Web Workplace and VPN connections to take the load off a

Win2003SBS box. At present remote users connect to dedicated local

workstations using the RWW facility to use a major local busines appliction

written in Access with forms embedded in the database. They also connect

using the SBS VPN Connectoid to synchronise mail and off-line documents.

 

The existing Dell 2400 is being replaced with a far more powerful IBM x3500

which leaves us with a perfectly serviceable server with no home. We would

like to use this machine to support the remote users and dispense with the

local workstations whilst maintaining the functionality of the RWW and VPN

Sessions. It is not practicable at present to use the VPN Connectiod

exclusively as the database size and line upstream speed prohibit it.

 

Any suggestions, please?

To expand on the database connectivity element; it is intended to move the

update and enquiry forms from the database to the client PCs to improve

network performance soon.

Hi David,

 

You can use windows 2003 enterprise or standard edition for VPN connection.

Win 2003 offer Remote access and IAS for VPN.

Thanks for the prompt response. Can you clarify the last sentence, please:

"Win 2003 offer Remote access and IAS for VPN".

 

Do you mean any version of Win2003 Server?
