Question : Problem: Remote Web Workplace - Can't connect to the computers
|
|
I have Windows Small Business Server 2003 running in a business with a domain.
I have gotten Remote Web Workplace to work as far as logging into the remote web workplace. I can even get into the server from it when I log in as administrator.
However if I try to log into any of the client desktops within the office I get an error that says that the connectivity could not be established. Ensure that the remote computer is on and connected to the Small Business Server Network.
The computer is on and connected to the network. Is there something else I'm supposed to do to allow this connection?

>>"Looks like I'm just going to make a dedicated computer that they will log into so that they don't all log into their various computers." I have a couple of clients who have 1 or 2 machines just for this purpose. If someone from another branch office drops in they have a spare computer set up, but for the most part they are only used for remote connections.
>>"will more than one user be able to remotely log on to the same computer? " You can allow as many as you like, but only one at a time. There is a series of registry hack that allow 2 users locally, but I don't think it will work through RWW. If you want to reduce hardware costs you can run Microsoft Virtual PC and install multiple copies of XP on the same machine. However, by the time you beef up the hardware, and pay for the licenses, you might as well consider adding a terminal server which is the ideal solution for multiple users. SBS and a free standing terminal server is actually an excellent combination to server local and remote users.
