Happy Friday readers! Harry Brelsford here, author of the infamous purple book! I am posting up a few pages per day of this book until SBS 2008 ships!
Today we discuss configuring remote access from the SBS 2003 TO DO LIST (what a computing paradigm eh?)

Configure Remote Access
Welcome back. Time for more step-by-step.
1 Click on the Configure Remote Access link.
2 Click Next at the Welcome to the Remote Access Wizard.
3 Verify that Enable remote access is selected and VPN access is
checked as shown in Figure 4-19. Click Next. Figure 4-19
This is the magic moment for facilitating VPN remote access.
4. On the VPN Server Name page, the Server name field is automatically populated with springers1.springersltd.com (this information was extracted from the EICW). After confirming you screen looks like Figure 4-20, click Next.
BEST PRACTICE: So, do you always have to VPN in via the FQDN you’re entering in Step 4 above? No! You can also ring up the SBS server machine by simply typing in the wild-side IP address to commence a VPN session. In the case of SPRINGERS, this would be
207.202.238.215.
Figure 4-20
You are defining the FQDN that allows access to the server over the Internet.
5. Click the “here” link on the Completing the Remote Access Wizard and save the configuration as VPN.htm in the My Documents folder (similar to the steps you undertook at the end of the EICW). Click Finish. After a few minutes the remote access configuration process will be completed, at which time you will click Close.
BEST PRACTICE: Before you and I become forgetful, please select the Done boxes on the To Do List for the Connect to the Internet and Configure Remote Access tasks.
