RDP to Server Blenky <sblenkhorn[ at ]gmail.com> 18.06.2007 15:50:57 Should I be able to RDP directly to my server from the outside world without going through Remote Workspace?? I seem to be able to connect directly to the server via RDP by just using the domain or IP address from the outside world... that doesn't seem quite right! Thanks, Sean

For RWW you only need to open 443 and 4125.

Re: RDP to Server "Kevin Weilbacher [SBS-MVP]" <kweilbacMVP[ at ]gte.net> 18.06.2007 23:00:36 SBS supports TS for admin purposes only (2 sessions max). So, if you have the TS port (3389) forwarded to your SBS server, yep -- it should work! -- Kevin Weilbacher [SBS-MVP] "The days pass by so quickly now, the nights are seldom long" "Blenky" <sblenkhorn[ at ]gmail.com> wrote in message news:1182181857.204691.3380[ at ]q75g2000hsh.googlegroups.com...

Re: RDP to Server "Russ Grover \(SBITS.Biz\)" <support[ at ]REMOVETHIS.SBITS.Biz> 19.06.2007 07:33:21 Blenky, in addition to the others suggestions (Opening Port 3389) put /console on the end of the command line of RDP Like So: %SystemRoot%\system32\mstsc.exe /console It will allow you to see the screen as though sitting in front of the server Great if you want to watch automated backups or some other automated process. And of course PLEASE follow Secure Password Policies.

I disabled port 3389 on our firewall and left 443 and 4125 open and now RWW does not work to connect to the server. So must I keep 3389 open on the firewall?? Thanks, Sean

Re: RDP to Server "Russ Grover \(SBITS.Biz\)" <support[ at ]REMOVETHIS.SBITS.Biz> 08.07.2007 04:32:23 no, 443 and 4125 for RWW 25 for mail 3389 for RDC direct to the server (not really needed because RWW will do it.)

Re: RDP to Server "Russ Grover \(SBITS.Biz\)" <support[ at ]REMOVETHIS.SBITS.Biz> 08.07.2007 04:33:41 if RWW doesn't work try https://server.domain.com/remote if the S doesn't help and you can login, but not connect to a PC then RWW is not check on the box in CEICW or 4125 is not open.
