Remote desktop like in SBS with standard Windows 2003?

[Guest boe]

Hello,

 

I have an SBS server I'd like to replace with a standard server OS. SBS

2003 has a nice web interface for clients outside our office so they can

remote into their own desktops. I'm not familar with this - is there a way

to get this same feature with standard Windows 2003 server or is only

available for SBS?

 

 

Thanks

Yes, you can. However, it will not have all of the "nice" login

dialogs, selection lists, drop down options, etc. that are in the SBS

interface. The component is called "Remote Desktop Web Connection"

and is buried under "Application Server", "IIS", "WWW Publishing" in

the Windows Components section of Add/Remove programs.

Great - the menus would be ideal but that might get me what I want. Any

suggested reading?

 

Thanks again.
